DescriptionReady-to-Assay™ TSH Glycoprotein Hormone Receptor Frozen Cells
Background InformationMillipore’s Ready-to-Assay GPCR frozen cells are designed for simple, rapid calcium assays with no requirement for intensive cell culturing. Millipore has optimized the freezing conditions to provide cells with high viability and functionality post-thaw. The user simply thaws the cells and resuspends them in media, dispenses cell suspension into assay plates and, following over night recovery, assays for calcium response.

The glycoprotein hormone receptor family consists of the luteinizing hormone receptor, the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor, and the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor. TSH, which is released from the pituitary gland, binds to the TSH receptor on thyroid cells to control size and function of the thyroid gland (De Felice et al., 2004). The TSH receptor signals through Gs to elevate intracellular cAMP in the thyroid gland, which regulates iodide uptake, and transcription of thyroglobulin (Tg), thyroid peroxidase (TPO), and sodium-iodide symporter. The TSH receptor also signals Gq and phospholipase C to regulate iodide efflux, H2O2 production, and thyroglobulin iodination. Autoimmunity to the TSH receptor causes hyperthyroidism (Graves disease) or hypothyroidism (Hashimoto thyroiditis) when the autoantibodies function as agonists or antagonists, respectively, at the TSH receptor (Rapoport and McLachlan, 2001; Davies et al., 2002). Millipore’s cloned human TSH-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-10 host, which supports high levels of recombinant TSH expression on the cell surface and contains optimized levels of a recombinant promiscuous G protein to couple the receptor to the calcium signaling pathway. Thus, the cell line is an ideal tool for screening for agonists, antagonists, and modulators at TSH.
