Somatostatin interferes with thyrotropin-induced G1-S transition mediated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. Involvement of RhoA and cyclin E x cyclin-dependent kinase 2 complexes
Thyroglobulin gene expression is regulated by insulin and insulin-like growth factor I, as well as thyrotropin, in FRTL-5 thyroid cells.
Thyrotropin-dependent proliferation of in vitro rat thyroid cell systems
18 pages, 2 figures, 1 table.-- Review.This review is focused on the most recent knowledge on growth control of rat thyroid cell lines. We analyzed the effect of mitogenic as well as inhibitory agents, but mainly the proliferative effect elicited by thyrotropin (TSH). The classic cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) signal transduction pathway involved in TSH-mediated cell growth is analyzed exhaustively. We have also reviewed new concepts about the participation of other effectors such as small GTPases and phosphatidyl inositol-3-kinase (PI3-K) and the new data about the existence of a cAMP-dependent but PKA-independent pathway. Finally, we give information about TSH induction of cell cycle-related genes, such as G1 cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and CDK inhibitors.We

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
The forkhead gene TTF-2 is transcriptionally regulated by TSH and insulin in FRTL-5 thyroid cells.
Identification of a cis-regulatory element and a thyroid-specific nuclear factor mediating the hormonal regulation of rat thyroid peroxidase promoter activity.
Transcriptional control of the forkhead thyroid transcription factor TTF-2 by thyrotropin, insulin, and insulin-like growth factor I.
Norepinephrine and thyrotropin stimulation of iodide efflux in FRTL-5 thyroid cells involves metabolites of arachidonic acid and is associated with the iodination of thyroglobulin
Insulin and insulin-like growth factor I regulate a thyroid-specific nuclear protein that binds to the thyroglobulin promoter.
