hyroid peroxidase (TPO) is essential for thyroid hormone synthesis mediating the covalent incorporationof iodine into tyrosine residues of thyroglobulin process known as organification. Thyroidstimulatinghormone (TSH) via cAMP signaling is the main hormonal regulator of TPO gene expression.In thyroid cells, TSH-stimulated nitric oxide (NO) production inhibits TSH-stimulated thyroidspecificgene expression, suggesting a potential autocrine role of NO in modulating thyroid function.Indeed, NO donors downregulates TSH-induced iodide accumulation organification in thyroid cells. Here,using FRTL-5 thyroid cells as model, we obtained insights on the molecular mechanism underlying theinhibitory effects of NO on iodide organification. We demonstrated that NO donors inhibited TSHstimulatedTPO expression by inducing a cyclic guanosine monophosphate-dependent protein kinasemediatedtranscriptional repression of the TPO gene. Moreover, we characterized the FoxE1 bindingsite Z as mediator of the NO-
