Thyroid Hormones
Studies in 1912 linked thryoid gland to amphibian metamorphosis:
- Tadpole metamorphosed early when given horse thyroid glands
- Larvae do not metamorphose & become giant tadpoles without

Metamorphic Climax
(TSH)
TRs repress target transcription whereas,
in the presence of T3, they enhance the
transcription of these same genes
TR/RXR heterodimers function as
transcriptional repressors of T3-inducible
genes in premetamorphic tadpoles to allow
for animal growth and prevent premature
metamorphosis and as transcriptional
activators of these genes when T3 becomes
available later to initiate metamorphic
changes in different tissues.

Changes in Cardiovascular System
Tadpole RBC’c replaced by Adult RBC’s (have
different shape are are selectively digested by liver macrophages)
Gene expression for hemoglobin proteins
changed:
- tadpole hemoglobins have higher binding
capacity and slower ability to release O2
- adult hemoglobins have lower binding
capacity and higher rate of O2 release
3 Groups of Thyroid Hormone Response Genes
 Transcription factors regulating other genes
 Cellular metabolism regulating genes
 Signaling genes – involved in regulating
receptor pool for secreted molecules that
provide ECM; proteases that act to cleave
growth factors bound to ECM
Tail Resoprtion: 35 genes upregulated /
10 downregulated

What is the evolutionary significance of this response?
Reduction in foraging occurs under these conditions;
Reduction of food available to prometamorphic tadpoles in
constant high water environment leads to accelerated
metamorphosis
Acceleration of metamorphosis:
Developmental acceleration
dependent upon rate of
water reduction
Not due to:
Thermal differences
Chemical changes
Interaction between individuals
Was reversible – deceleration
of metamorphosis

New strategies for prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes require improved insight into disease etiology.
We analyzed 386,731 common single nucleotide polymorphisms in 1,464 patients with T2D and 1,467
matched controls, each characterized for measures of glucose metabolism, lipids,obesity, and blood pressure.
We identify and confirm three loci associated with T2D -- in a non-coding region near CDKN2A and CDKN2B,
in an intron of IGF2BP2, and an intron of CDKAL1 -- and replicate associations near HHEX and in SLC30A8
found by a recent whole genome association study.
We identify and confirm association of a SNP in an intron of glucokinase regulatory protein with serum triglycerides.
The discovery of associated variants in unsuspected genes and outside coding regions illustrates the ability of
genome-wide association studies to provide potentially important clues into the pathogenesis of common diseases.
