Résumé

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is a vertebrate pituitary heterodimeric hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce the thyroid hormones, T3 and T4. We report here the cloning, by PCR on reverse-transcribed pituitary RNAs, of a 180 bp fragment of the cDNA encoding TSH β subunit in the turbot (Psetta maxima). The deduced amino acid sequence displayed 66 and 75% identity with the corresponding sequence from the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) and the rainbow trout (Oncorchyncus mykiss), respectively. This cDNA was then used as a probe for densitometric analysis of individual pituitary Northern blots. TSH β mRNA levels were quantified in turbot where circulating thyroid hormones were modified by dietary treatments or hormone supplementation. Recombinant rainbow trout growth hormone had no effect on circulating thyroid hormone levels or on pituitary TSH β mRNA level. In turbot fed heat-treated rapeseed meal, plasma T4 levels were lowered and TSH β mRNA increased more than two fold. In contrast, when turbot were fed a standard fish-meal supplemented with T3, circulating T3 levels were elevated and there was a dramatic decrease in TSH β mRNA level. It is concluded that both thyroid hormones are able to down-regulate TSH β mRNA level in vivo in the turbot. These results are discussed in the context of the evolution of the TH feed-back on TSH
