BACKGROUND
A protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) C1858T gene polymorphism has been reported to be associated with both Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) separately. However, no study has been conducted to explore the C1858T polymorphism in T2DM
There is evidence from animal models that the iodine content of thyroglobulin (Tg) may influence its antigenicity in thyroid autoimmunity. To elucidate the effect of iodination of hormonogenic sites of human Tg (hTg) on its autoantigenicity, a synthetic peptide (TB: hTg 2546-2571), containing two
Fms-like tyrosine kinase receptor 3-ligand (Flt3-L) and GM-CSF cause expansion of different subsets of dendritic cells and skew the immune response toward predominantly Th1 and Th2 type, respectively. In the present study, we investigated their effects on experimental autoimmune thyroiditis in CBA/J
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) exerts proliferative activities in thyrocytes upon binding to its tyrosine kinase receptor c-met and is also expressed in benign thyroid nodules as well as in Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). The simultaneous expression of HGF/c-met and three trasducers of tyrosine kinase
PTC is not generally considered a lethal disease, but prone to recurrence as the prognosis. Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is an important factor that affects the prognosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). It is crucial to find biomarkers to identify the combination of HT with PTC The CD45 77C>G transversion (rs17612648) in exon A of the CD45 gene has been reported to be associated with the development of various autoimmune diseases. Because Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is a typical autoimmune disease, we performed a study to determine the association of the 77C>G
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate whether the presence of diabetes-specific autoantibodies may predict the development of autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
METHODS
Glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies (GADA), tyrosine phosphatase IA2 antibodies (IA2A), and insulin
BACKGROUND
Different forms of interferon alpha (IFN-α) have been used for several years in the treatment of chronic viral hepatitis type C (CVHC). Currently, pegylated forms of interferon alpha (PegIFN-α) in combination with ribavirin is the standard treatment. During therapy with IFN-α,
Sunitinib is an oral multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor that was newly approved by the FDA for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma and imatinib-resistant gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Although generally well tolerated, common side effects of sunitinib have been reported, with an important
Recently, thyroid microsomal antigen was identified as thyroid peroxidase, and thyroid microsomal antibody was found to inhibit thyroid peroxidase activity in vitro. We investigated the possibility that anti-microsomal antibody inhibits the iodination of tyrosine, in vivo. Immunoglobulin G with or
Gain-of-function RET mutations are responsible for multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes (MEN) 2A and 2B and familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (FMTC), whereas loss-of-function mutations are found in Hirschsprung disease. We report a new RET point mutation [R694Q (CGG-->CAG)], serendipitously
Expression of cytokine-regulated signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins was histochemically assessed in patients diagnosed as having Hashimoto's disease or focal lymphocytic thyroiditis (n = 10). All surgical specimens showed histological features of lymphocytic
Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) are at high risk to develop further autoimmune disorders, which are mostly characterized by the presence of organ-specific antibodies in serum and a subclinical disease course. Diabetes-related (glutamic acid decarboxylase, tyrosine phosphatase, IA-2) and
BACKGROUND
Sorafenib is a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor licensed for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma. Thyroid function test abnormalities have been reported for different tyrosine kinase inhibitors, but only limited data on thyroid function test
