The widespread lymphocyte infiltration in the thyroid gland and intolerance of the body against its thyroid antigens leads to the destruction of thyroid cells and impaired thyroid function. Granulysin (GNLY) is a cytolytic antimicrobial peptide that has been associated with a wide range of diseases such as various infections, cancer, transplantation, and skin problems. However, there are a few studies investigating the relationship between HT and granulysin. Aim Our study aims to investigate whether granulysin levels and GNLY gene polymorphism contribute to the damaged immune response leading to HT. Material and Methods 100 unrelated patients diagnosed with HT and 140 healthy individuals were included in our study. Frequencies of GNLY rs10180391 and rs7908 gene polymorphisms were determined using PCR- RFLP method and serum granulysin levels were determined using ELISA. Results There is no statistical significance between patient and control groups in terms of genotype and allele frequencies of GNLY gene polymorphisms and serum levels of granulysin. Conclusion In conclusion, granulysin and GNLY gene polymorphisms do not appear to relate to HT disease.","PeriodicalId":6910,"journal":{"name":"Acta endocrinologica","volume":"76 1","pages":"288-293"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73957033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 receptors, through which coronavirus enters the cells of different organs, have been detected in the thyroid gland. The most common cause of thyrotoxicosis is Graves' disease in which thyroid-receptors antibodies (TRAb) stimulate the TSH receptor, increasing thyroid hormone production and release. Case presentation A 22-year-old woman had symptoms of palpitation, tremor, muscle weakness, anxiety and sleep disturbance. 3 weeks before the onset of these symptoms, the patient suffered from COVID-19, which lasted 14 days and was characterized by a course of moderate severity with fever up to 38°C, general weakness without shortness of breath. The patient had no pre-existing thyroid problems. Her TSH was <0.01 mU/L, FT4, FT3 and TRAb were increased. Antithyroid drugs, glucocorticosteroids and β-blockers were prescribed. During 3 months of treatment doses of methimazole, methylprednisolone and bisoprolol were gradually reduced due to the improvement of the patient's condition and thyroid tests normalization.

Triple A syndrome has a high genotypic and phenotypic heterogeneity and has been linked with mutations in the AAAS gene, which has been identified on chromosome 12q13. A 14 years old male patient applied to outpatient clinic complaining of weakness and darkening of skin color since 4 months. On physical examination hyperpigmentation was observed on both the skin and mucosa. The morning cortisol level was 1.8 μg/dL and ACTH was >1250 ng/L. Schirmer test showed absence of tears. In the patient's esophagoscopy, mucosal paleness and stenosis of the cardia were observed. Molecular genetic analysis of AAAS gene confirmed the diagnosis of triple A syndrome caused by homozygous mutation: c.1368_1372delGCTCA (p.Gln456HisfsTer38). This variant is considered to be a possible pathogenic because it causes a frame shift that changes the protein structure. As a result of the genetic analysis of the patient's parents, the AAAS gene was detected as heterozygous in both parents for the c.1368_1372delGCTCA mutation.

Although human tear proteomics identified many abnormal expressed proteins and proposed several pathogeneses of TAO, most of these studies focused on the active stage or mixed types in TAO. In this study we identified significantly changed proteins and preliminary revealed the potential signalling pathways and mechanisms of TAO with the late, inactive stage. Patients and Methods Tears from TAO patients (n=6) with a CAS score < 3 and 6 control healthy subject were collected. The pooled tears were further fractionated using high pH reversed-phase chromatography, then submitted to LC-MS/MS and subsequent bioinformatic analysis. Results Proteomic profiling identified 107 significantly changed proteins between the inactive stage of TAO patients and healthy cases. Among these proteins, 62 were upregulated, and 45 were downregulated in TAO cases compared to healthy individuals. Enrichment analysis revealed that the immune system, cell cycle, metabolism (carbohydrate metabolism and metabolism of cofactors and vitamins), protein synthesis and degradation might play a vital role in the progress of inactive TAO.

This study examined whether thymoquinone (TQ), the main active Nigella sativa constituent, could prevent the detrimental influences of hepatorenal toxicity of hypothyroidism during the juvenile period in rats. Methods The male rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 7), including control, propylthiouracil (PTU), PTU-TQ 5 mg/kg, and PTU-TQ 10 mg/kg. PTU was dissolved in drinking water at a concentration of 0.05% and administered for six weeks. In the PTU-TQ5 and PTU-TQ10 groups, animals received PTU plus 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg of the TQ (i.p.) for six weeks, respectively. The rats were evaluated after TQ treatment by measuring serum markers of liver and kidney function tests as well as oxidative stress biomarkers in liver and kidney tissues. Results Administration of TQ (5 and 10 mg/kg) decreased oxidative stress damage in liver and kidney tissue in hypothyroidism rats with improvement in activities of antioxidant enzymes and a decrease in MDA in both liver and kidney homogenates. Furthermore, TQ treatment significantly inhibited the elevation of serum biochemical markers of liver and kidney function associated with this hepatorenal toxicity. Conclusion These results suggest that the protective effect of TQ in hypothyroidism-induced hepatorenal toxicity in rats is attributed to its ability to reduce oxidative stress in hepatic and renal tissues. However, more studies are recommended to investigate the exact mechanism (s) for the effect of TQ on hepatorenal outcomes of hypothyroidism in human subjects.","PeriodicalId":6910,"journal":{"name":"Acta endocrinologica","volume":"1 1","pages":"432-439"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80018976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
