“…IL-12 induces IL-2, IFN-γ and TNF-β from Th1 cells and IFN-γ from NK (natural killer) cells. Increased serum levels of IL-12 have been reported in GD [21][22][23]. Furthermore, IL-12B mRNA expression has been demonstrated in thyroid tissues from patients with GD [24] and in orbital fat tissues from patients with active GO [25], but not in extraocular muscle tissues (EOM), or EOM-derived T cell lines from patients with GO undergoing corrective strabismus surgery [26].…”

“…IL-12 expression, which is regulated by CD40-CD40L binding during interactions between T lymphocytes and antigen-presenting cells (22,23), has been directly and indirectly implicated in the pathogenesis of GD (24)(25)(26)(27). Thyroid tissue from patients with GD express abundant IL-12p40 mRNA, and their serum IL-12 concentrations are significantly higher than those are in healthy controls (28,29). The relative overabundance of IL-12 appears to be related to GD severity.…”

“…The relative overabundance of IL-12 appears to be related to GD severity. However, the site of the increased IL-12 production is unknown (29,30). This study sought to determine whether fibrocytes activated by TSH and CD40L express IL-12 and to describe the mechanisms of activation.…”

“…Это под тверждает и работа японских ученых, в которой вы явлена одномоментная ремиссия БГБ и аллергичес ких заболеваний, и наоборот, при рецидиве БГБ по сле курса тиреостатической терапии, который со провождался повышением уровня антител к рецеп тору ТТГ (АТ рТТГ), был повышен и уровень имму ноглобулина Е (IgЕ) [31]. Следует отметить, что в ос нове механизмов развития всех аутоиммунных тире опатий лежит первичный дефект тиреоцитов, кото рые приобретают способность экспрессировать HLA антигены II класса (видимо, сцепленная с но сительством определенных гаплотипов HLA), так как экспрессия HLA рецепторов II класса на тирео цитах в норме отсутствует [27]. Также показано, что степень экспрессии HLA DR на тиреоцитах тесно коррелирует с уровнем антител к тиреоглобулину (AT ТГ) и антител к тиреопероксидазе (АТ ТПО) при АИТ и БГБ [26].…”
