Thyroid hormone is known to participate in the control of intestine maturation at weaning. Its action is mediated by the thyroid hormone nuclear receptors, encoded by the TRalpha and TRbeta genes. Since previous studies have shown that TRbeta plays a minor role in the gut, we focused here our analysis on the TRalpha gene. The TRalpha locus generates the TRalpha 1 receptor together with the splicing variant TRalpha 2 and the truncated products TRDelta alpha 1 and TRDelta alpha 2, which all lack an intact ligand binding domain. The TRDelta alpha isoforms are transcribed from an internal promoter located in intron 7, and their distribution is restricted to a few tissues including those of the intestine. In order to define the functions of the different isoforms encoded by the TRalpha locus in the intestinal mucosa, we produced mice either lacking all known TRalpha products or harboring a mutation which inactivates the intronic promoter. We performed a detailed analysis of the intestinal phenotypes in these mice and compared it to that of the previously described TRalpha -/- mice, in which TRalpha isoforms are abolished but the TRDelta alpha isoforms remain. This comparative analysis leads us to the following conclusions: (i) the TRalpha 1 receptor mediates the T3-dependent functions in the intestine at weaning time and (ii) the TRDelta alpha products negatively control the responsiveness of the epithelial cells to T3. Moreover, we show that TRDelta alpha proteins can interfere with the transcription of the intestine-specific homeobox genes cdx1 and cdx2 and that their activity is regulated by TRalpha 1. Altogether these data demonstrate that cooperation of TRalpha and TRDelta alpha products is essential to ensure the normal postnatal development of the intestine and that mutations in the TRalpha locus can generate different phenotypes caused by the disruption of the equilibrium between these products.
