Interleukin-1 Beta Inhibits Rat Thyroid Cell Function In Vivo And In Vitro By An No-Independent Mechanism And Induces Hypothyroidism And Accelerated Thyroiditis In Diabetes-Prone Bb Rats
JOURNAL OF ENDOCRINOLOGY(1996)
摘要
Interleukin-1 beta has been implicated as a pathogenic factor in the development of autoimmune thyroiditis. When given for 5 days to normal non-diabetes-prone Wistar Kyoto rats, it decreased plasma concentrations of total tri-iodothyronine and thyroxine and increased plasma TSH. These effects were not prevented by co-injection of nitroarginine methyl ester or aminoguanidine, inhibitors of NO synthases. Exposure to interleukin-1 beta dose-dependently reduced iodine uptake in FRTL-5 cells, but had no effect on thyroglobulin secretion. Nitrite was not detected in the FRTL-5 cell culture media after exposure to interleukin-1 beta. However, reverse transcription PGR analysis of mRNA isolated from interleukin-1 beta-exposed FRTL-5 cells revealed a transitory expression of the inducible NO synthase, which was markedly lower than inducible NO synthase induction in interleukin-1 beta-exposed isolated rat islets of Langerhans. Go-incubation with the NO synthase inhibitor N-G-monomethylarginine did not ameliorate the effect of interleukin-1 beta on FRTL-5 cell; iodine uptake. Furthermore, we demonstrate that daily injections of interleukin-1 beta for 13 weeks aggravated spontaneous thyroiditis and induced severe hypothyroidism in non-diabetic diabetes-prone BE rats. The data suggest that NO does not mediate interleukin-1 beta-induced inhibition of rat thyroid function in vivo or in vitro in FRTL-5 cells, and the induction of hypothyroidism by interleukin-1 beta in diabetes-prone BE rats is speculated to be due to exacerbation of recruitment and activation of intrathyroidal mononuclear cells.
