Congenital Hypothyroidism Dysregulates TRPC6 to Mediate Abnormal Dendritic Spine Growth of Hippocampal Neurons. [PDF]
T3 loss in congenital hypothyroidism (CH) downregulates TRPC6 in dentate granule cells (DGCs), which reduces dendritic spine density via the CaMKIV/CREB signaling pathway. TRPC6 agonist hyperforin rescues DGCs' dendritic spines and cognitive function of CH pups.
