AUTOANTIBODIES AND CYTOKINE PROFILE IN PATIENTS WITH GRAVES–BASEDOW DISEASE AND THEIR DYNAMICS DURING THIONAMIDE THERAPY
Abstract. Role of cytokines in autoimmune reactions in Graves–Basedow disease (GBD) is undisputable.

| Sumario: | Abstract. Role of cytokines in autoimmune reactions in Graves–Basedow disease (GBD) is undisputable. It has been shown, that dynamic alterations in serum Th1 and Th2 marker cytokines are dependent on disease stage. At initial phase of autoimmune thyrotoxicosis, the maximal values were shown for IL-1α, IL-8, IFNγ and IL-10. A direct correlation is proven between the degree of disease severity, and the levels of proinflammatory (IL-1α, IL-8, IFNγ), as well as anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10), like as with production of antibodies against thyroid receptors. During conventional treatment with standard doses of thiamazol, the levels of cytokines are significantly decreased. These data extend our knowledge on pathogenetic mechanisms of the disorder. Moreover, they allow of developing an algorithm for assessment of therapeutic efficiency and probability of relapses in autoimmune thyrotoxicosis. (Med. Immunol., 2008, vol. 10, N 2-3, pp 245-250). |
