An increasing interest in improving the quality of life of patients with autoimmune thyroid disorders has been noted during recent years. Although there is little scientific evidence, many patient-oriented publications, websites and support groups recommend changes in diet as well as nutritional supplement use as a cure for thyroid disease and the mean for ailments reduction. The presented survey aimed to explore the patients and medical professionals approach to n...

Alleviation of Autoimmune phenomena in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis after Thyroidectomy: Is this an additional surgical indication?

Panchangam Ramakanth Bhargav , Sabaretnam M , Chakrapani B , Ramesh B , Rajesh B

Introduction: Hashimotos thyroiditis (HT) is one of the commonest endocrine disorder. Often, HT is associated with a plethora of autoimmune co-morbidities (AIC) such as vitiligo, arthitides, pernicious anaemia, skin allergy, thrombocytopenia, addisons disease, type 1 diabetes, celiac disease, eosinophilia etc., The etiology of these AIC in HT is enigmatically idiopathic and hypothesized to be autoimmune in origin. Many studies suggests that thyroid specific antibod...

Constitutive activity of human RXFP2

Suteau Valentine , Gourdin Louis , Briet Clairee , Lebeault Maylis , Rodien Patrice , Munier Mathilde

Introduction: The relaxin family peptide receptor 2 (RXFP2) is the receptor for Insulin-like peptide-3 (INSL3). The INSL3/RXFP2 signaling is necessary in the first stage of testis descent. Besides, it is proposed that RXFP2 has a role in bone metabolism or in development of cancers (thyroid, prostate). RXFP2 is a rhodopsin-like G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR). Recently, it has been demonstrated that Drosophila RXFP2 had constitutive activity, i.e., a ligand-independent sign...

Different regulation of erythropoietin and VEGF in clear renal cell carcinoma

Cokic Bojana Beleslin , Macut Djuro , Milicevic Ivana , Rodic Gordana , Bankovic Jovana , Antic Jadranka , Noguchi Constance , Damjanovic Svetozar

Clear renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a highly vascularized and proliferative tumor. ccRCC can be sporadic or familiar, usually associated with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene mutations. VHL protein is part of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that regulates hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF). When a defective and inactive VHL protein is produced, HIF is not degraded, resulting in over-expression of hypoxia related genes including erythropoietin (EPO) and vascular endothelial growth fa...

Unexpected manifestation of autoimmune thyroid disease in a lipoid proteinosis patient

Uygur Meliha Melin , Eskiocak Ali Haydar

Extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1) is an 85 kDa glycoprotein that plays an important role in skin physiology, angiogenesis, tumor progression and malignancies. However, the function of ECM-1 in regulation of the immune responses has not been identified. Recent studies showed ECM-1 deficiency lowers the capacity of T helper 2 (Th2) cells to emigrate from draining lymph nodes to an inflamatory site. Lipoid proteinosis (LiP) and Licken Sclerosus (LS) are immunogenetic counterp...

Dominance of ovarian follicles is determined by follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) and G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) heteromers

Mechanisms regulating the selection of antral ovarian follicles are poorly understood and supposed to rely on low estrogen levels, decline of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels and receptor (FSHR) expression on the surface of granulosa cells. These concepts are challenged in-vitro, where apoptosis of human granulosa cells (hGLC) and transfected cell lines is induced by high doses of FSH or FSHR overexpression, while estrogens induce anti-apoptotic signals via n...

During the menstrual cycle, selection of the dominant follicle is characterized by changes of gonadotropin and steroid hormone receptor expression. We aim to evaluate whether co-existing follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) and G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) form heterodimers, suggesting their role in ovarian follicle selection.

Spingosine-1-phosphate induces cAMP/PKA-independent pCREB activation, but not steroidogenesis, in human granulosa cells

Paradiso Elia , Lazzaretti Clara , Riccetti Laura , Sperduti Samantha , Antoniani Francesco , Brigante Giulia , Feo Gaetano De , Morini Daria , Iannotti Francesca , Simoni Manuela , Poti Francesco , Casarini Livio

Sphingosine-1 phosphate (S1P) is a lysosphingolipid present in the ovarian follicular fluid at the nanomolar concentration. The physiological functions of S1P are mediated through five specific G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), known as S1PR1-5. S1PR1 and S1PR3 are expressed in human primary granulosa lutein cells (hGLC), as well as in the immortalized human primary granulosa cell line hGL5. S1PRs are activated at nanomolar concentrations inducing specific activation or inh...

5-Beta-reductase (AKR1D1) deletion leads to increased insulin sensitivity in mature male mice

Arvaniti Anastasia , Harris Shelley , Nikolaou Nikolaos , Hazlehurst Jonathan , Moolla Ahmad , Dempster Niall , Cox Roger , Gathercole Laura , Tomlinson Jeremy

Bile acids (BA) are potent steroid hormones that mediate a variety of metabolic effects. They play a pivotal role in cholesterol catabolism, intestine nutrient absorption, and regulate lipid, glucose and energy metabolism. 5-Beta-Reductase (AKR1D1) is a key enzyme in the BA synthesis pathway, required for cholesterol metabolism into bile acids. We generated a novel global AKR1D1 knockout (KO) mouse which, as expected, has decreased total serum and hepatic BAs and altered BA co...

Polydispia can reveal underlying non-osmotic arginine-vasopressin secretion

Pazos Mario , Pallares Raquel , Cuesta Martin , Barrio Elvira , Ramos Elvira , Herraiz Lorea , Azcutia Ane , Miguel Maria Paz De , Runkle Isabelle , Calle Alfonso

Inroduction: Polydipsia -excessive oral intake of liquids, with/without thirst- can induce euvolemic hyponatremia. Adequate inhibition of AVP secretion induced by low plasma osmolality (POsm) is reflected in a urinary osmolality (UOsm) ≤100 mOsm/kg. However, increased fluid intake can also reveal underlying non-osmotic AVP secretion, induced by pain, nausea, and/or SIADH, with UOsm >100.

Meijden Wisse P van der , Stenvers Dirk Jan , Kerkhof Linda van , Nierop Lotte van , Steeg Harry van , Bisschop Peter H , Someren Eus J van , Kalsbeek Andries

Introduction: Adolescents spend much time using blue-light emitting screen devices such as smartphones, tablets and computers. Blue light affects the central circadian clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) as well as melatonin secretion by the pineal gland.
