APE/Ref-1 is a multifunctional protein possessing both redox and DNA repair functions. Through its redox activity, APE/Ref-1 controls the DNA-binding function of several transcriptional regulators (AP1, NF-kappaB, p53, Pax proteins). We have previously shown that APE/Ref-1 upregulates the transcriptional activity of the thyroid-specific transcription factor Pax8. In thyroid cells, APE/Ref-1 can be detected both in the nuclear and cytoplasmatic compartments. In this study regulatory mechanisms acting on APE/Ref-1 were revealed using the FRTL-5 cell line. TSH induces both cytoplasm-to-nucleus translocation and neosynthesis of APE/Ref-1 protein. Interestingly, only neosynthesis is dependent on cAMP signalling. In contrast, the cytoplasm-to-nucleus translocation is dependent on redox-mediated mechanisms. Based upon the data shown in this study and in others, a bimodal control of APE/Ref-1 by TSH can be delineated.
