Key Points
-
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is involved in both the physiology and pathology of the human thyroid gland, with roles both in hormone synthesis and in oxidative DNA damage
-
The NADPH oxidase/dual oxidase (NOX/DUOX) family are the major nonmitochondrial sources of reactive oxygen species in cells; the human thyroid gland expresses DUOX1, DUOX2 and NOX4
-
DUOX2 is the main source of H2O2 for hormone synthesis by thyroid peroxidase; the physiological functions of DUOX1 and NOX4 in human thyroid tissue are still unknown
-
Both DUOXs and NOX4 are overexpressed in human thyroid tumours, which suggests that these H2O2-generating enzymes might be involved in thyroid cancer pathogenesis
-
DUOX1 is upregulated in radiation-induced thyroid cancer, and DUOX1-dependent production of H2O2 promotes persistent DNA damage after human thyroid cells are exposed to ionizing radiation
-
Generation of H2O2 by NOX4 mediates oncogene-induced DNA damage and senescence in human thyroid cells
Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a crucial substrate for thyroid peroxidase, a key enzyme involved in thyroid hormone synthesis. However, as a potent oxidant, H2O2 might also be responsible for the high level of oxidative DNA damage observed in thyroid tissues, such as DNA base lesions and strand breakages, which promote chromosomal instability and contribute to the development of tumours. Although the role of H2O2 in thyroid hormone synthesis is well established, its precise mechanisms of action in pathological processes are still under investigation. The NADPH oxidase/dual oxidase family are the only oxidoreductases whose primary function is to produce reactive oxygen species. As such, the function and expression of these enzymes are tightly regulated. Thyrocytes express dual oxidase 2, which produces most of the H2O2 for thyroid hormone synthesis. Thyrocytes also express dual oxidase 1 and NADPH oxidase 4, but the roles of these enzymes are still unknown. Here, we review the structure, expression, localization and function of these enzymes. We focus on their potential role in thyroid cancer, which is characterized by increased expression of these enzymes.
