Circulating Exosome Involves in the Pathogenesis of Autoimmune Thyroid Diseases Through Immunomodulatory Proteins

Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) are chronic organ-specific autoimmune diseases, mainly including Graves’ disease (GD) and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT). Exosomes, as extracellular vesicles, contain a variety of biologically active substances that play a role in information exchange, thereby affec...

Circulating Exosome Involves in the Pathogenesis of Autoimmune Thyroid Diseases Through Immunomodulatory Proteins
description Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) are chronic organ-specific autoimmune diseases, mainly including Graves’ disease (GD) and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT). Exosomes, as extracellular vesicles, contain a variety of biologically active substances that play a role in information exchange, thereby affecting the occurrence and progression of diseases. However, it is unclear whether exosomes are involved in the pathogenesis of AITDs. In this study, the role of exosomes in AITDs was explored from a proteomics perspective.
