Transcriptome and Methylome Analysis Reveal ComplexCross-Talks between Thyroid Hormone and GlucocorticoidSignaling at Xenopus Metamorphosis.


Buisine Nicolas et al.

BACKGROUND: Most work in endocrinology focus on the action of a single hormone, and very little on the cross-talks between two hormones. Here we characterize the nature of interactions between thyroid hormone and glucocorticoid signaling during metamorphosis. METHODS: We used functional genomics to derive genome wide profiles of methylated DNA and measured changes of gene expression after hormonal treatments of a highly responsive tissue, tailfin. Clustering classified the data into four types of biological responses, and biological networks were modeled by system biology. RESULTS: We found that gene expression is mostly regulated by either T or CORT, or their additive effect when they both regulate the same genes. A small but non-negligible fraction of genes (12\%) displayed non-trivial regulations indicative of complex interactions between the signaling pathways. Strikingly, DNA methylation changes display the opposite and are dominated by cross-talks. CONCLUSION: Cross-talks between thyroid hormones and glucocorticoids are more complex than initially envisioned and are not limited to the simple addition of their individual effects, a statement that can be summarized with the pseudo-equation: TH GC > TH + GC. DNA methylation changes are highly dynamic and buffered from genome expression.
