This study reveals the role of hepatic thyroid hormone receptor beta in regulating systemic glucose homeostasis through modulation of GLP-1 levels. T3 suppresses Cyp8b1 expression in the liver to increase FXR-antagonistic bile acid levels, thereby enhancing GLP-1 production and insulin secretion.
Thyroid hormones regulate systemic glucose metabolism through incompletely understood mechanisms. Here the authors report that hepatic thyroid hormone receptor beta mediates the effects of the thyroid hormone T3 on systemic glucose homeostasis by modulating GLP-1 levels through suppression of hepatic CYP8B1 expression and bile acid mediated inhibition of intestinal FXR signalling. Thyroid hormones (TH) regulate systemic glucose metabolism through incompletely understood mechanisms. Here, we show that improved glucose metabolism in hypothyroid mice after T3 treatment is accompanied with increased glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) production and insulin secretion, while co-treatment with a GLP-1 receptor antagonist attenuates the effects of T3 on insulin and glucose levels. By using mice lacking hepatic TH receptor beta (TR beta) and a liver-specific TR beta-selective agonist, we demonstrate that TR beta-mediated hepatic TH signalling is required for both the regulation of GLP-1 production and the insulinotropic and glucose-lowering effects of T3. Moreover, administration of a liver-targeted TR beta-selective agonist increases GLP-1 and insulin levels and alleviates hyperglycemia in diet-induced obesity. Mechanistically, T3 suppresses Cyp8b1 expression, resulting in increased the levels of Farnesoid X receptor (FXR)-antagonistic bile acids, thereby potentiating GLP-1 production and insulin secretion by repressing intestinal FXR signalling. T3 correlates with both plasma GLP-1 and fecal FXR-antagonistic bile acid levels in people with normal thyroid function. Thus, our study reveals a role for hepatic TH signalling in glucose homeostasis through the regulation of GLP-1 production via bile acid-mediated FXR antagonism.
