Since there were concerns about the escape phenomenon and exacerbation with inorganic iodine, antithyroid drugs became the mainstay of pharmacotherapy for Graves' disease following their development in the 1940s. With regard to long-term inorganic iodine monotherapy, Trousseau reported a case in the 1860s, and several subsequent reports suggested its efficacy. Around 1930, Thompson et al. published a number of papers and concluded that long-term inorganic iodine monotherapy was useful if limited to mild cases under careful follow-up. From Japan, in 1970, Nagataki et al. reported that, of 12 patients treated with inorganic iodine, three remained eumetabolic for more than two years. Since 2014, some reports have also been published from Japan. A summary of these recent reports is given below. The starting dose of potassium iodide is around 50 mg/day, and candidate responders have mild disease, with FT4 <2.76 ng/dL (35.5 pmol/L), a small goiter, and are female and elderly. Response rates are relatively high, at 60-80%, and the remission rate is about 40%. In cases of insufficient response, changing therapy should be considered. Inorganic iodine can be used as a possible alternative if the patient experiences adverse events with antithyroid drugs and/or prefers conservative treatments, with an understanding of their efficacy and limitations. These recent reports have been published from Japan, where iodine is sufficient, and the dose of inorganic iodine is empirical and requires further study.</p>","PeriodicalId":11631,"journal":{"name":"Endocrine journal","volume":" ","pages":"23-36"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142132103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the underlying mechanism of IFN-α in hepatic inflammation remains to be fully elucidated. Here, we utilized LO2 cells treated with the recombinant IFN-α protein and conducted microRNA (miR) sequencing. MiR-122-3p and miR-122-5p_R+1 were the most enriched miRNAs involved in the pathogenesis of IFN-α-induced inflammatory responses and were significantly downregulated by IFN-α treatment. Furthermore, we identified interferon induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 1 (IFIT1) as a potential target gene of miR-122. IFN-α markedly increased the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and fibrogenic genes but decreased the mRNA expression of ISGs. Additionally, IFN-α significantly activated the NF-κB p-p65, MAPK p-p38, and Jak/STAT pathways to trigger inflammation. Importantly, supplementation with a miR-122 mimic significantly alleviated IFN-α-induced inflammation and induced IFIT1 expression in LO2 cells. Conversely, the suppression of miR-122 markedly exacerbated the inflammatory response triggered by IFN-α. Furthermore, silencing IFIT1 via an siRNA elicited an inflammatory response, whereas IFIT1 overexpression ameliorated hepatic inflammation and fibrosis in a manner comparable to that induced by IFN-α treatment.

Ghrelin binds to the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), whose high-resolution complex structures have been determined in the apo state and when bound to an antagonist. Anamorelin, a low-molecular-weight ghrelin agonist, has been launched in Japan for the treatment of cancer cachexia, and its therapeutic potential has attracted attention due to the various biological activities of ghrelin. In 2019, liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide (LEAP2), initially discovered as an antimicrobial peptide produced in the liver, was identified to be upregulated in the stomach of diet-induced obese mice after vertical sleeve gastrectomy. LEAP2 binds to the GHSR and antagonizes ghrelin's activities. The serum concentrations of human LEAP2 are positively correlated with body mass index, body fat accumulation, and fasting serum concentrations of glucose and triglyceride. Serum LEAP2 elevated and ghrelin reduced in obesity. Ghrelin and LEAP2 regulate body weight, food intake, and GH and blood glucose concentrations, and other physiological phenomena through their interactions with the same receptor, GHSR.</p>","PeriodicalId":11631,"journal":{"name":"Endocrine journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142930888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
