Abstract
The incidence of thyroid nodules is rapidly increasing worldwide. Raman spectroscopy (RS) is a powerful label-free and non-invasive technique, successfully used for early stage diagnosis. Here, RS is proposed as a tool to investigate the thyroid disease, including neoplasms, through the study of cell oxidative stress (OS), which represents one of the main cancer risk factors. In this study, we enrolled 28 patients, submitted to a first and second thyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA) during follow up. The cytological samples were studied by RS and morphological examination. Typical Raman spectra of thyroid cytological samples are reported and the contribution of oxidized and reduced cytochrome b and c and carotenoids are discussed. On the basis of the evolution of the Raman features over the time lapse between the two FNAs, the 28 patients have been classified into 4 different categories and the most representative case for each category is reported and discussed in detail. For each category, the different Raman intensity ratio between oxidized and reduced cytochromes b and c is reported and associated to different cell OS status, along with the presence of carotenoids. Overall, our results support a correlation among changes in oxidative stress, carotenoids uptake and thyroid diseases, which could inspire new fundamental research on biomarkers and signaling pathways involved in thyroid OS.

Abstract
Thyroid hormones play a crucial role in numerous physiological processes, including reproduction. Bisphenol S (BPS) is a structural analog of Bisphenol A known for its toxic effects. Interference of this substitute with normal thyroid function has been described. To investigate the effect of thyroid disruption on ovarian development following maternal exposure to BPS, female rats were exposed, daily, to either AT 1-850 (a thyroid hormone receptor antagonist) (10 nmol/rat) or BPS (0.2 mg/kg) during gestation and lactation. The effects on reproductive outcome, offspring development, histological structures, hormone levels, oxidative status, cytoskeleton proteins expression, and oocyte development gene expression were examined. Our results are in favor of offspring ovarian development disruption due to thyroid disturbance in adult pregnant females. During both fetal and postnatal stages, BPS considerably altered the histological structure of the thyroid tissue as well as oocyte and follicular development, which led to premature ovarian failure and stimulation of oocyte atresia, being accompanied with oxidative stress, hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis disorders, and cytoskeletal dynamic disturbance. Crucially, our study underscores that BPS may induce reproductive toxicity by blocking nuclear thyroid hormone receptors, evidenced by the parallelism and the perfect meshing between the data obtained following exposure to AT 1-850 and those after the treatment by this substitute.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of our study was to explore the relation between serum levels of non-enzymatic antioxidants, thyroid function with the risk of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in depressed adolescents. Patients and Methods We retrospected the electronic records of 454 hospitalized patients aged 13-17 years old with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder (239 patients with NSSI and 215 subjects without NSSI), and collected their demographic and clinical information, including serum levels of total bilirubin (Tbil), uric acid (UA), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Results The incidence of NSSI was 52.6% among depressed adolescents aged 13-17, 57.1% in female and 38.5% in male. After using the propensity scoring method to exclude the influence of age between the two groups, it was found that patients with NSSI showed lower levels of Tbil (P=0.046) and UA (P=0.015) compared with those without NSSI. Logistic regression results showed that serum UA was associated with NSSI behavior in female patients (OR=0.995, 95% CI: 0.991-0.999, P=0.014), and TSH was associated with NSSI in male participants (OR=0.499, 95% CI: 0.267-0.932, P=0.029). Conclusion Female and male may have different pathological mechanisms of NSSI. NSSI is more likely to be related to antioxidant reaction in female adolescent patients, while more likely to be related to thyroid function in male depressed adolescent patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Iodine plays an important role in thyroid physiology and biochemistry. The thyroid is capable of producing different iodolipids such as 2-iodohexadecanal (2-IHDA). Data from different laboratories have shown that 2-IHDA inhibits several thyroid parameters and it has been postulated as intermediary on the action of iodide function. OBJECTIVE To explore different mechanisms involved during the involution of the hyperplastic thyroid gland of Wistar rats towards normality induced by 2-IHDA. METHODS Goiter was induced by the administration of MMI for 10 days, then the treatment was discontinued and Wistar rats were injected with 2-IHDA or KI. RESULTS During involution, 2-IHDA treatment reduced PCNA expression compared to spontaneous involution. KI treatment caused an increase of Caspase-3 activity and TUNEL-positive cells. In contrast, 2-IHDA failed to alter this value but induced an increase of LC3B expression. KI but not 2-IHDA led to an increase in peroxides levels, catalase and glutathione peroxidase activity. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that 2-IHDA, in contrast to iodide, did not lead to an increase in oxidative stress or apoptosis induction, indicating that the involution triggered by 2-IHDA in Wistar rats, is primarily due to the inhibition of cell proliferation and the induction of autophagy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Iodide is an essential micronutrient for the synthesis of thyroid hormones and its imbalance is involved in the origin of different thyroid pathological processes. Selenium (Se) is another essential trace element that contributes to thyroid preservation through the control of the redox homeostasis. Different studies have demonstrated that sodium-iodide-symporter (NIS) is downregulated in the presence of iodide excess and Se supplementation reverses this effect. We also demonstrated that NOX4-derived ROS are involved in NIS repression induced by iodide excess. The aim of this study was to investigate how Se bioavailability is decisive in the sensitivity to iodide excess on a differentiated rat thyroid cell line (FRTL-5). RESULTS We demonstrated that siRNA-mediated silencing of Nox4 suppressed AKT phosphorylation induced by iodide excess. Iodide increases TGF-β1 mRNA expression, AKT phosphorylation, ROS levels and decreases GPX1 and TXRND1 mRNAs expression while Se reversed these effects. Furthermore, iodide induced Nrf2 transcriptional activity only in Se-supplemented cultures, suggesting that Se positively influences Nrf2 activation and selenoenzyme response in FRTL-5. Se, also inhibited NF-κB phosphorylation induced by iodide excess. In addition, we found that iodide excess decreased total phosphatase activity and PTP1B and PTEN mRNA expression. Se supply restored only PTEN mRNA expression. Finally, we studied the 2-α-iodohexadecanal (2-IHD) effects since it has been proposed as intermediary of iodide action on thyroid autoregulation. 2-IHD stimulated PI3K/AKT activity and reduced NIS expression by a ROS-independent mechanism. Also, we found that 2-IHD increased TGF-β1 mRNA and TGF-β inhibitor (SB431542) reverses the 2-IHD inhibitory effect on NIS mRNA expression, suggesting that TGF-β1 signaling pathway could be involved. Although Se reduced 2-IHD-induced TGFB1 levels, it could not reverse its inhibitory effect on NIS expression. CONCLUSION Our study suggests that Se bioavailability may improve the expression of antioxidant genes through the activation of Nrf2, interfere in PI3K/AKT signaling and NIS expression by redox modulation.

Abstract
Toxicological research is mostly limited to considering the effects of a single substance, even though the real exposure of people is reflected in their daily exposure to many different chemical substances in low-doses. This in silico toxicogenomic study aims to provide evidence for the selected environmental (organo)metals (lead, cadmium, methyl mercury) + polychlorinated biphenyls mixture involvement in the possible alteration of thyroid, and male reproductive system function, and furthermore to predict the possible toxic mechanisms of the environmental cocktail. The Comparative Toxicogenomic Database, GeneMANIA online software, and ToppGene Suite portal were used as the main tools for toxicogenomic data mining and gene ontology analysis. The results show that 35 annotated common genes between selected chemicals and endocrine system diseases can interact on the co-expression level. Our study highlighted the disruption of the cytokines, the cell's response to oxidative stress, and the influence of the transcription factors as the potential core of toxicological mechanisms of the discussed mixture's effects. The connected toxicological effects of the tested mixture were abnormal sperm cells, a disrupted level of testosterone, and thyroid hormones. The core mechanisms of these effects were inflammation, oxidative stress, disruption of androgen receptor signaling, and the alteration of the FOXO3-Keap-1/NRF2-HMOX1-NQO1 pathway signaling most likely controlled by the co-expression of overlapped genes among used chemicals. This in silico research can be used as a potential core for the determination of biomarkers that can be monitored in future further in vitro and in vivo experiments.

Abstract
Thyroid hormones (TH) perform a plethora of actions in numerous tissues and induce an overall increase in metabolism, with an augmentation in energy demand and oxygen expenditure. Oxidants are required for normal thyroid-cell proliferation, as well as for the synthesis of the main hormones secreted by the thyroid gland, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). However, an uncontrolled excess of oxidants can cause oxidative stress, a major trigger in the pathogenesis of a broad spectrum of diseases, including inflammation and cancer. In particular, oxidative stress is implicated in both hypo- and hyper-thyroid diseases. Furthermore, it is important for the TH system to rely on efficient antioxidant defense, to maintain balance, despite sustained tissue exposure to oxidants. One of the main endogenous antioxidant responses is the pathway centered on the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2). The aim of the present review is to explore the multiple links between Nrf2-related pathways and various TH-associated conditions. The main aspect of TH signaling is described and the role of Nrf2 in oxidant-antioxidant homeostasis in the TH system is evaluated. Next, the antioxidant function of Nrf2 associated with oxidative stress induced by TH pathological excess is discussed and, subsequently, particular attention is given to the cardioprotective role of TH, which also acts through the mediation of Nrf2. In conclusion, the interaction between Nrf2 and most common natural antioxidant agents in altered states of TH is briefly evaluated.

Abstract
An excess of thyroid hormones in the blood characterizes hyperthyroidism. Long-term use of prescription medications to treat hyperthyroidism has substantial adverse effects, and when discontinued, the symptoms frequently recur. Several plant species have been utilized to cure hyperthyroidism. In the present work, we investigated the impact of polyherbal extract (POH) of four medicinal plants to treat hyperthyroidism. Biochemical analysis revealed the presence of a high concentration of phytochemicals in the POHs. The in vitro antioxidant study revealed their antioxidant and free radical scavenging capacity. The gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometry analysis of the POHs showed the presence of 13 bioactive phytochemical compounds. The effect of various concentrations of POHs on L-thyroxine-induced hyperthyroidism in Wistar albino rats was evaluated for 18 days. The TSH, T3, and T4 levels increased significantly and reduced the increase of liver enzymes caused by hyperthyroidism in POH-treated rats. The data showed that POH therapy could restore thyroid function to normal. The injection of POH increased the size comprising vacuolated cells, columnar follicular cells, and highly coloured nuclei with increasing POH content, and the number of normal thyroid follicles rose. The findings indicate that polyherbal formulations of these medicinal plants include credible antithyroid compounds that may offer a protective and effective alternative treatment to synthetic thyroid medications.

Abstract
Primary tumors actively and specifically prime pre-metastatic niches (PMNs), the future sites of organotropic metastasis, preparing these distant microenvironments for disseminated tumor cell arrival. While initial studies of the PMN focused on extracellular matrix alterations and stromal reprogramming, it is increasingly clear that the far-reaching effects of tumors are in great part achieved through systemic and local PMN immunosuppression. Here, we discuss recent advances in our understanding of the tumor immune microenvironment and provide a comprehensive overview of the immune determinants of the PMN's spatiotemporal evolution. Moreover, we depict the PMN immune landscape, based on functional pre-clinical studies as well as mounting clinical evidence, and the dynamic, reciprocal crosstalk with systemic changes imposed by cancer progression. Finally, we outline emerging therapeutic approaches that alter the dynamics of the interactions driving PMN formation and reverse immunosuppression programs in the PMN ensuring early anti-tumor immune responses.

Abstract
An imbalance between pro-oxidative and antioxidative cellular mechanisms is oxidative stress (OxS) which may be systemic or organ-specific. Although OxS is a consequence of normal body and organ physiology, severely impaired oxidative homeostasis results in DNA hydroxylation, protein denaturation, lipid peroxidation, and apoptosis, ultimately compromising cells' function and viability. The thyroid gland is an organ that exhibits both oxidative and antioxidative processes. In terms of OxS severity, the thyroid gland's response could be physiological (i.e. hormone production and secretion) or pathological (i.e. development of diseases, such as goitre, thyroid cancer, or thyroiditis). Protective nutritional antioxidants may benefit defensive antioxidative systems in resolving pro-oxidative dominance and redox imbalance, preventing or delaying chronic thyroid diseases. This review provides information on nutritional antioxidants and their protective roles against impaired redox homeostasis in various thyroid pathologies. We also review novel findings related to the connection between the thyroid gland and gut microbiome and analyze the effects of probiotics with antioxidant properties on thyroid diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE Iodine is an essential micronutrient required for thyroid hormone biosynthesis. However, overtreatment with iodine can unfavorably affect thyroid physiology. The aim of this review is to present the evidence that iodine-when in excess-can interfere with thyroid hormone synthesis and, therefore, can act as a potential endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC), and that this action, as well as other abnormalities in the thyroid, occurs-at least partially-via oxidative stress. METHODS We reviewed published studies on iodine as a potential EDC, with particular emphasis on the phenomenon of oxidative stress. RESULTS This paper summarizes current knowledge on iodine excess in the context of its properties as an EDC and its effects on oxidative processes. CONCLUSION Iodine does fulfill the criteria of an EDC because it is an exogenous chemical that interferes-when in excess-with thyroid hormone synthesis. However, this statement cannot change general rules regarding iodine supply, which means that iodine deficiency should be still eliminated worldwide and, at the same time, iodine excess should be avoided. Universal awareness that iodine is a potential EDC would make consumers more careful regarding their diet and what they supplement in tablets, and-what is of great importance-it would make caregivers choose iodine-containing medications (or other chemicals) more prudently. It should be stressed that compared to iodine deficiency, iodine in excess (acting either as a potential EDC or via other mechanisms) is much less harmful in such a sense that it affects only a small percentage of sensitive individuals, whereas the former affects whole populations; therefore, it causes endemic consequences.

Environmentally relevant dose of the endocrine disruptor tributyltin disturbs redox balance in female thyroid gland. Mol Cell Endocrinol 2022; 553:111689.

Abstract
Tributyltin (TBT) is an endocrine disruptor used as a biocide in nautical paints. Even though many TBT effects in marine species are known, data in mammals are scarce, especially regarding the thyroid gland. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of a subchronic exposure to TBT on thyroid oxidative stress of female Wistar rats. Rats received vehicle (control group), 200 or 1000 ng TBT/kg body weight/day for 40 days. After euthanasia, one part of the thyroids were collected in order to assess iodide uptake; activity and/or mRNA expression of thyroperoxidase (TPO) and dual oxidases (DUOXs); activity and/or mRNA expression of catalase, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and NADPH oxidase 4 (CAT, GPx, SOD and NOX4); 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) expression and total thiol groups levels; and mRNA expression of estrogen receptors alpha and beta (ERα and ERβ). The remaining part of the thyroid was processed for morphological analysis of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and for collagen deposition. Iodide uptake was not changed with treatments. TPO activity and expression were increased in the TBT1000 group (259.81% and 95.17%). The activity, but not mRNA, of CAT (17.36% TBT200; 27.10% TBT1000) and GPx (29.24% TBT200; 28.97% TBT1000) were decreased by TBT. SOD and NADPH oxidase activity, as well as thiol group and 4-HNE levels remained unchanged. Interstitial collagen deposition increased in the TBT200 group (39.54%). The mRNA expression of ERα increased in TBT-treated rats (44.87% TBT200; 36.43% TBT1000), while protein expression was increased but not reaching significance (TBT1000, p = 0.056) by TBT. Therefore, our results show that TBT increases TPO expression and reduces antioxidant enzyme activities in the thyroid gland leading to oxidative stress. Some of these effects could be mediated by the ERα pathway.

The Cross-Talk between Polyphenols and the Target Enzymes Related to Oxidative Stress-Induced Thyroid Cancer. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:2724324.

Abstract
The most serious hallmark step of carcinogenesis is oxidative stress, which induces cell DNA damage. Although in normal conditions ROS are important second messengers, in pathological conditions such as cancer, due to imbalanced redox enzyme expression, oxidative stress can occur. Recent studies with firmly established evidence suggest an interdependence between oxidative stress and thyroid cancer based on thyroid hormone synthesis. Indeed, a reduced antioxidant defense system might play a part in several steps of progression in thyroid cancer. Based on studies that have been conducted previously, future drug designs for targeting enzymatic ROS sources, as a single agent or in combination, have to be tested. Polyphenols represent the potential for modulating biological events in thyroid cancer, including antioxidative activity. Targeting enzymatic ROS sources, without affecting the physiological redox state, might be an important purpose. As regards the underlying chemopreventive mechanisms of natural compounds that have been discussed in other cancer models, the confirmation of the influence of polyphenols on thyroid cancer is inconclusive and rarely available. Therefore, there is a need for further scientific investigations into the features of the antioxidative effects of polyphenols on thyroid cancer. The current review illustrates the association between some polyphenols and the key enzymes that take place in oxidation reactions in developing thyroid cancer cells. This review gives the main points of the enzymatic ROS sources act and redox signaling in normal physiological or pathological contexts and supplies a survey of the currently available modulators of TPO, LOX, NOX, DUOX, Nrf2, and LPO derived from polyphenols.

Abstract
Graves’ disease (GD) is an autoimmune thyroiditis often associated with Graves’ orbitopathy (GO). GD thyroid and GO orbital fat share high oxidative stress (OS) and hypervascularization. We investigated the metabolic pathways leading to OS and angiogenesis, aiming to further decipher the link between local and systemic GD manifestations. Plasma and thyroid samples were obtained from patients operated on for multinodular goiters (controls) or GD. Orbital fats were from GO or control patients. The NADPH-oxidase-4 (NOX4)/HIF-1α/VEGF-A signaling pathway was investigated by Western blotting and immunostaining. miR-199a family expression was evaluated following quantitative real-time PCR and/or in situ hybridization. In GD thyroids and GO orbital fats, NOX4 was upregulated and correlated with HIF-1α stabilization and VEGF-A overexpression. The biotin assay identified NOX4, HIF-1α and VEGF-A as direct targets of miR-199a-5p in cultured thyrocytes. Interestingly, GD thyroids, GD plasmas and GO orbital fats showed a downregulation of miR-199a-3p/-5p. Our results also highlighted an activation of STAT-3 signaling in GD thyroids and GO orbital fats, a transcription factor known to negatively regulate miR-199a expression. We identified NOX4/HIF-1α/VEGF-A as critical actors in GD and GO. STAT-3-dependent regulation of miR-199a is proposed as a common driver leading to these events in GD thyroids and GO orbital fats.

Abstract
Thyroid dysgenesis (TD) accounts for 80% cases of congenital hypothyroidism, which is the most common neonatal disorder. Until now, the gene mutations have been reported associated with TD can only account for 5% cases, suggesting the genetic heterogeneity of the pathology. Nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase (NNT) plays a crucial role in regulating redox homeostasis, patients carrying NNT mutations have been described with a clinical phenotype of hypothyroidism. As TD risk is increased in the context of several syndromes and redox homeostasis is vital for thyroid development and function, NNT might be a candidate gene involved in syndromic TD. Therefore, we performed target sequencing (TS) in 289 TD patients for causative mutations in NNT and conducted functional analysis of the gene mutations. TS and Sanger sequence were used to screen the novel mutations. For functional analysis, we performed western blot, measurement of NADPH/NADPtotal and H2 O2 generation, cell proliferation, and wounding healing assay. As a result, three presumably pathogenic mutations (c.811G > A, p.Ala271Ser; c.2078G > A, p.Arg693His; and c.2581G > A, p.Val861Met) in NNT had been identified. Our results showed the damaging effect of NNT mutations on stability and catalytic activity of proteins and redox balance of cells. In conclusion, our findings provided novel insights into the role of the NNT isotype in thyroid physiopathology and broaden the spectrum of pathogenic genes associated with TD. However, the pathogenic mechanism of NNT in TD is still need to be investigated in further study.

Abstract
Thyroid diseases, including neoplasms, autoimmune diseases and thyroid dysfunctions, are becoming a serious social problem with rapidly increasing prevalence. The latter is increasingly linked to oxidative stress. There are many methods for determining the biomarkers of oxidative stress, making it possible to evaluate the oxidative profile in patients with thyroid diseases compared to the healthy population. This opens up a new perspective for investigating the role of elevated parameters of oxidative stress and damage in people with thyroid diseases, especially of neoplastic nature. An imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants is observed at different stages and in different types of thyroid diseases. The organ, which is part of the endocrine system, uses free radicals (reactive oxygen species, ROS) to produce hormones. Thyroid cells release enzymes that catalyse ROS generation; therefore, a key role is played by the internal defence system and non-enzymatic antioxidants that counteract excess ROS not utilised to produce thyroid hormones, acting as a buffer to neutralise free radicals and ensure whole-body homeostasis. An excess of free radicals causes structural cell damage, undermining genomic stability. Looking at the negative effects of ROS accumulation, oxidative stress appears to be implicated in both the initiation and progression of carcinogenesis. The aim of this review is to investigate the oxidation background of thyroid diseases and to summarise the links between redox imbalance and thyroid dysfunction and disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thyroid damage occurs during experimental iodine-deficient goiter and involution with iodine supplementation. This study investigated the dynamic microRNAs (miRNAs) expression profiles in iodine-deficient thyroids during adequate and excessive iodine supplementation. METHODS Twenty-four female Wistar rats were randomly divided into control, low-iodine (LI), LI-1I, and LI-2I groups. The LI-1I and LI-2I groups were fed a LI diet for 12 weeks, followed by a onefold (adequate) or twofold (excessive) physiological dose of iodine for 4 weeks to induce involution. The miRNA expression profiles were evaluated and the potential functions of the differentially expressed miRNAs identified were explored. RESULTS In the LI group, 20 miRNAs were downregulated and 8 were upregulated. After involution, 21 miRNAs recovered to the control group levels in the LI-1I group, which was more than the 17 that recovered in the LI-2I group. In addition, 8 new differentially expressed miRNAs were identified in the LI-1I group, which was less than the 13 found in the LI-2I group. Bioinformatics analyses indicated that all differentially expressed miRNAs were involved in different processes and pathways, such as autoimmune thyroid disease and the Ras signaling pathway. CONCLUSION Differentially expressed miRNAs are involved in iodine-deficient goiter formation and involution. Supplementation with adequate, not excessive, iodine may be more beneficial to restore homeostasis.

Abstract
Graves' disease (GD) and toxic multinodular goitre (TMNG) are the most common thyroid diseases which mainly lead to thyrotoxicosis, however, the underlying mechanism of distinct clinical presentations remains unclear. Protein extracts from the thyroid tissue specimens of the patients with GD and TMNG were subjected to Difference Gel Electrophoresis (DIGE). Differentially regulated protein spots were determined by image analysis, and the spots displaying statistically significant differences were identified by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer (MALDI-TOF) followed by MASCOT search. Western blot analysis was used to verify changes occurring at the protein levels. The identified proteins were classified based on their functions in metabolic pathways using bioinformatics algorithms. Fifteen proteins showed significant alterations in abundance between the two disease groups. Bioinformatic analysis revealed the differentially regulated proteins were particularly related to catabolism, oxidative stress and especially energy utilization pathways, including glycolysis, proteolysis, ketone body catabolism and other energy metabolism-related pathways. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY: Previously, GD has been the subject of many studies that performed the proteomics approaches in the orbital tissue samples or tear. This is one of the very few studies that investigate the changes in the proteome of thyroid tissue in GD. We demonstrated mainly the upregulation of catabolic activity-related proteins in patients with GD compared to TMNG. Although it remains to be elucidated, some of these proteins can be used as markers for GD or have a role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Our study contributes the increasing data over time by providing new biomarker candidates for GD.

Abstract
Over the last four decades, the cancer biology field has concentrated on cellular and microenvironmental drivers of metastasis. Despite this focus, mortality rates upon diagnosis of metastatic disease remain essentially unchanged. Would a small change in perspective help? Knowing what constitutes an inhospitable, rather than hospitable, microenvironment could provide the inspiration necessary to develop better therapies and preventative strategies. In this review, we canvas the literature for hints about what characteristics four common antimetastatic niches-skeletal muscle, spleen, thyroid, and yellow bone marrow-have in common. We posit that thorough molecular and mechanistic characterization of antimetastatic tissues may inspire reimagined therapies that inhibit metastatic development and/or progression in an enduring manner.

Abstract
Oxidative stress (OS) is recognized as disturbance of cellular equilibrium between reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and their elimination by antioxidant defense systems. One example of ROS-mediated damage is generation of potentially mutagenic DNA precursor, 8-oxodGTP. In human cells genomic 8-oxodGTP incorporation is prevented by the MutT homologue 1 (MTH1 or hMTH1 for human MTH1) protein. It is well established that malignant cells, including thyroid cancer cells, require hMTH1 for maintaining proliferation and cancerous transformation phenotype. Above observations led to the development of hMTH1 inhibitors as novel anticancer therapeutics. In the current study we present extensive analysis of oxidative stress responses determining sensitivity to hMTH1 deficiency in cultured thyroid cells. We observe here that hMTH1 depletion results in downregulation of several glutathione-dependent OS defense system factors, including GPX1 and GCLM, making some of the tested thyroid cell lines highly dependent on glutathione levels. This is evidenced by the increased ROS burden and enhanced proliferation defect after combination of hMTH1 siRNA and glutathione synthesis inhibition. Moreover, due to the lack of data on hMTH1 expression in human thyroid tumor specimens we decided to perform detailed analysis of hMTH1 expression in thyroid tumor and peri-tumoral tissues from human patients. Our results allow us to propose here that anticancer activity of hMTH1 suppression may be boosted by combination with agents modulating glutathione pool, but further studies are necessary to precisely identify backgrounds susceptible to such combination treatment.

Abstract
Silver-exchanged aluminosilicate aerogels and xerogels were investigated as gaseous iodine [I2(g)] sorbents. The structures, morphologies, compositions, and porosities of aerogels (as-made and heat-treated at 350 °C) and xerogels are compared by using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and specific surface area (SSA) as well as pore size analyses. The as-made aerogels, xerogels, and heat-treated aerogels were ion exchanged with Ag in AgNO3 solutions of deionized water and methanol (5:1 by volume), and PXRD patterns showed the presence of nanocrystalline Ag0 after the Ag exchange. Gravimetric iodine loadings of Ag-aerogels and Ag-xerogels were 0.33-0.41 g g-1. The Ag-aerogels without heat treatment showed an ∼8 mass % higher iodine loading than Ag-impregnated xerogels and ∼3 mass % higher than heat-treated Ag-impregnated aerogels. All gels after iodine uptake showed the presence of AgI, indicating chemisorption of iodine to silver. The SSA values of the as-made gels were 420-600 m2 g-1 but decreased significantly to 34-120 m2 g-1 after Ag impregnation and iodine uptake. Overall, changes in physical and chemical properties of aerogels and xerogels after iodine uptake were similar and the differences in iodine loading capacities of the aerogels and xerogels were minimal, providing a driver for using xerogels due to their less complex synthesis process as compared to aerogels.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Because of the major anti-oxidant properties of black cumin, the current study aimed to evaluate the effect of powdered Nigella sativa seeds on markers of oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction and serum lipids in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. METHODS Forty patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, aged between 22 and 50 years old, participated in the trial and were randomly allocated into two groups of intervention and control receiving powdered N. sativa or placebo daily for 8 weeks. Changes in markers of oxidative stress, including total anti-oxidant capacity (TAC), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction including Intracellular Adhesion Molecule (ICAM)-1, Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule (VCAM)-1 and serum lipids were also evaluated. RESULTS Treatment with N. sativa, significantly increased serum TAC, SOD and reduced MDA concentrations with no significant change in GPX (P < 0.05). A significant reduction in VCAM-1 (P = 0.0012), body mass index (P = 0.002), serum concentrations of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (P = 0.002) and triglyceride (P = 0.02) were also reported in N. sativa-treated group after 8 weeks; while serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) also significantly increased (P < 0.05). No change in other parameters were reported. CONCLUSIONS Giving attention to the potent beneficial effects of powdered black cumin seeds in improving oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, serum lipids and anthropometric features in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, this medicinal plant can be considered as a therapeutic agent in management of Hashimoto-related metabolic abnormalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Natural compounds with potential antioxidant properties have been used in the form of food supplements or extracts with the intent to prevent or treat various diseases. Many of these compounds can activate the cytoprotective Nrf2 pathway. Besides, some of them are known to impact the thyroid gland, often with potential side-effects, but in other instances, with potential utility in the treatment of thyroid disorders. OBJECTIVE In view of recent data regarding the multiple roles of Nrf2 in the thyroid, this review summarizes the current bibliography on natural compounds that can have an effect on thyroid gland physiology and pathophysiology, and it discusses the potential implication of the Nrf2 system in the respective mechanisms. METHODS & RESULTS Literature searches for articles from 1950 to 2018 were performed in PubMed and Google Scholar using relevant keywords about phytochemicals, Nrf2 and thyroid. Natural substances were categorized into phenolic compounds, sulfur-containing compounds, quinones, terpenoids, or under the general category of plant extracts. For individual compounds in each category, respective data were summarized, as derived from in vitro (cell lines), preclinical (animal models) and clinical studies. The main emerging themes were as follows: phenolic compounds often showed potential to affect the production of thyroid hormones; sulfur-containing compounds impacted the pathogenesis of goiter and the proliferation of thyroid cancer cells; while quinones and terpenoids modified Nrf2 signaling in thyroid cell lines. CONCLUSION Natural compounds that modify the activity of the Nrf2 pathway should be evaluated carefully, not only for their potential to be used as therapeutic agents for thyroid disorders, but also for their thyroidal safety when used for the prevention and treatment of non-thyroidal diseases.

Abstract
The cyclin C-Cdk8 kinase has been identified as both a tumor suppressor and an oncogene depending on the cell type. The genomic locus encoding cyclin C (Ccnc) is often deleted in aggressive anaplastic thyroid tumors. To test for a potential tumor suppressor role for cyclin C, Ccnc alone, or Ccnc in combination with a previously described thyroid tumor suppressor Pten, was deleted late in thyroid development. Although mice harboring individual Pten or Ccnc deletions exhibited modest thyroid hyperplasia, the double mutant demonstrated dramatic thyroid expansion resulting in animal death by 22 weeks. Further analysis revealed that Ccncthyr-/- tissues exhibited a reduction in signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) phosphorylation at Ser727. Further analysis uncovered a post-transcriptional requirement of both Pten and cyclin C in maintaining the levels of the p21 and p53 tumor suppressors (also known as CDKN1A and TP53, respectively) in thyroid tissue. In conclusion, these data reveal the first tumor suppressor role for cyclin C in a solid tumor model. In addition, this study uncovers new synergistic activities of Pten and cyclin C to promote quiescence through maintenance of p21 and p53.

Abstract
We studied the mechanism that may explain the relative resistance of thyrocytes to H2O2 compared to other cell types. Ability to degrade H2O2, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression, cell survival and capacity to repair DNA damage after H2O2 exposure or irradiation were measured in human thyrocytes in primary culture and compared to the values obtained in human T-cells and different cell lines. Compared to other cell types, thyrocytes presented a low mortality rate after H2O2 exposure, rapidly degraded extracellular H2O2 and presented a high basal seleno-dependent GPx activity. Only in thyrocytes, H2O2 up-regulated GPx activity and expression of HO-1 mRNA. These effects were not reproduced by irradiation. DNA damage caused by H2O2 was more slowly repaired than that caused by irradiation and not repaired at all in T-cells. Our study demonstrates that the thyrocyte has specific protective mechanisms against H2O2 and its mutagenic effects.

Abstract
Different factors are involved in thyroid function and proliferation such as thyrotropin (TSH), insulin, growth factors, iodide, etc. TSH and IGF1/insulin increase proliferation rate and stimulate genes involved in thyroid differentiation. In the present study, we analyse the physiological regulation of NOX4 expression by TSH, insulin and iodine, and the role of NOX4 on thyroid genes expression. Differentiated rat thyroid cells (FRTL-5) were incubated in the presence or absence of TSH/insulin and TTF2, PAX8, TPO, NIS, NOX4, TGFβ1, FOXO1/3 mRNA levels were examined by Real Time PCR. We showed that TSH and insulin repress NOX4 expression and appears to be inversely correlated with some thyroid genes. SiRNA targeted knockdown of NOX4 increased mRNA levels of TGFβ1, TPO, PAX8, TTF2, FOXO1 and FOXO3. A PI3K inhibitor (LY294002), increases the expression of NIS, TTF2 and FOXO1/3, however PI3K/AKT pathway does not regulate NOX4 expression. We observed that iodine increased NOX4 expression and knockdown of NOX4 reduced ROS and reversed the inhibitory effect of iodine on NIS, TPO, PAX8 and TTF2 expression. Our findings provide strong evidence that NOX4 could be a novel signaling modulator of TSH/insulin pathway and would have a critical role in the autoregulatory mechanism induced by iodine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Increased oxidative stress has been described in patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT). The aim of the present study was to investigate whether high oxidative stress is further influenced by obesity and dietary habits in euthyroid women with HT. METHODS Two hundred eighteen consecutive euthyroid women with HT were studied and separated in two groups; 102 with thyroxine replacement and 114 without. For the evaluation of oxidative stress, total lipid peroxide levels in serum (TOS) were measured and recoded as ‘high TOS’ vs ‘medium/low TOS’. The type of food and consumption frequency were recorded. Two binary variables were considered; normal vs low fruit consumption and daily vs sporadic vegetable consumption. RESULTS ‘High TOS’ was more frequent in women under thyroxine replacement (31.4% vs 14.7%, OR = 2.7, 95% CI: 1.4–5.2). The prevalence of ‘high TOS’ was higher among overweight/obese women compared to women with normal BMI (30.4% vs 12.5%, OR = 3.1, 95% CI: 1.5–6.4). Low fruit consumption was associated with increased ‘high TOS’ prevalence (30.6% vs 12.9%, OR = 3.0, 95% CI: 1.4–6.2). Sporadic vegetable consumption was associated with increased ‘high TOS’ prevalence compared to daily consumption (29.9% vs 13.5%, OR = 2.7, 95% CI: 1.3–5.7). The examined risk factors were independent and additive in their effect on TOS. At least three risk factors had to be concomitantly present for the likelihood of ‘high TOS’ to be significantly elevated. CONCLUSIONS Oxidative stress is increased in women with HT under thyroxine replacement. Nevertheless, normal BMI, daily fruit and vegetable consumption, all contribute in maintaining oxidative stress at low levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The thyroid gland has a special relationship with oxidative stress. While generation of oxidative substances is part of normal iodide metabolism during thyroid hormone synthesis, the gland must also defend itself against excessive oxidation in order to maintain normal function. Antioxidant and detoxification enzymes aid thyroid cells to maintain homeostasis by ameliorating oxidative insults, including during exposure to excess iodide, but the factors that coordinate their expression with the cellular redox status are not known. The antioxidant response system comprising the ubiquitously expressed NFE2-related transcription factor 2 (Nrf2) and its redox-sensitive cytoplasmic inhibitor Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) defends tissues against oxidative stress, thereby protecting against pathologies that relate to DNA, protein, and/or lipid oxidative damage. Thus, it was hypothesized that Nrf2 should also have important roles in maintaining thyroid homeostasis. METHODS Ubiquitous and thyroid-specific male C57BL6J Nrf2 knockout (Nrf2-KO) mice were studied. Plasma and thyroids were harvested for evaluation of thyroid function tests by radioimmunoassays and of gene and protein expression by real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting, respectively. Nrf2-KO and Keap1-KO clones of the PCCL3 rat thyroid follicular cell line were generated using CRISPR/Cas9 technology and were used for gene and protein expression studies. Software-predicted Nrf2 binding sites on the thyroglobulin enhancer were validated by site-directed in vitro mutagenesis and chromatin immunoprecipitation. RESULTS The study shows that Nrf2 mediates antioxidant transcriptional responses in thyroid cells and protects the thyroid from oxidation induced by iodide overload. Surprisingly, it was also found that Nrf2 has a dramatic impact on both the basal abundance and the thyrotropin-inducible intrathyroidal abundance of thyroglobulin (Tg), the precursor protein of thyroid hormones. This effect is mediated by cell-autonomous regulation of Tg gene expression by Nrf2 via its direct binding to two evolutionarily conserved antioxidant response elements in an upstream enhancer. Yet, despite upregulating Tg levels, Nrf2 limits Tg iodination both under basal conditions and in response to excess iodide. CONCLUSIONS Nrf2 exerts pleiotropic roles in the thyroid gland to couple cell stress defense mechanisms to iodide metabolism and the thyroid hormone synthesis machinery, both under basal conditions and in response to excess iodide.

Abstract
Haizao Yuhu Decoction (HYD), a famous multi-component herbal formula, has been widely used to treat various thyroid-related diseases, including iodine-deficient goiter. Herb pair Thallus Sargassi Pallidi (HZ) and Radix Glycyrrhizae (GC), one of the so-called “eighteen antagonistic medicaments”, contains in HYD. To explore pharmacological mechanisms of HYD acting on iodine-deficient goiter and to provide evidence for potential roles of herb pair HZ and GC in HYD, our genome-wide microarray detection and network analysis identified a list of goiter-related genes, mainly involved into the alterations in hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid/gonad/growth axes. Then, the disease genes-drug genes interaction network illustrated the links between HYD regulating genes and goiter-related genes, and identified the candidate targets of HYD acting on goiter. Functionally, these candidate targets were closely correlated with thyroid hormone synthesis. Moreover, the potential regulating genes of herb pair HZ and GC were revealed to be crucial components in the pathway of thyroid hormone synthesis. The prediction results were all verified by following experiments based on goiter rats. Collectively, this integrative study combining microarray gene expression profiling, network analysis and experimental validations offers the convincing evidence that HYD may alleviate iodine-deficient goiter via regulating thyroid hormone synthesis, and explains the necessity of herb pair HZ and GC in HYD. Our work provides a novel and powerful means to clarify the mechanisms of action for multi-component drugs such as herbal formulae in a holistic way, which may improve drug development and applications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Oxidative stress has been implicated in the normal ageing process and the pathogenesis of several diseases, including goitre. The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between urine lipid peroxidation (LPO) and anthropometric parameters as well as the parameters associated with goitre formation in children. MATERIAL AND METHODS The subjects included 172 healthy children (93 girls and 79 boys) aged 8-15, divided into 4 age groups - group I (8-9 years), group II (10-11 years), group III (12-13 years) and group IV (14-15 years) - and into 2 groups based on the BSA: the BSA-1 group (≤ 0.55 m2) and the BSA-2 group (> 0.55 m2). RESULTS The value of LPO was the highest in group I but the difference between the groups was not statistically significant (p = 0.074). In the BSA-1 group, the LPO was higher than in the BSA-2 group (12.75 ±6.90 nmol/ml and 10.79 ±4.86 nmol/ml, respectively; p = 0.023). We found a weak, negative linear correlation between LPO and age (r = -0.216; p < 0.005), body mass (r = -0.153; p < 0.05), height (r = -0.152; p < 0.05) and BSA (r = -0.151; p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Anthropometric parameters of school-age children independently of age are negatively associated with oxidative damage to membrane lipids, whereas factors promoting goitrogenesis do not contribute to this process.

An extremely high dietary iodide supply forestalls severe hypothyroidism in Na +/I - symporter (NIS) knockout mice. Sci Rep 2017; 7:5329. [PMID: 28706256 PMCID: PMC5509730 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-04326-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2016] [Accepted: 05/12/2017] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
The sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) mediates active iodide (I−) accumulation in the thyroid, the first step in thyroid hormone (TH) biosynthesis. Mutations in the SLC5A5 gene encoding NIS that result in a non-functional protein lead to congenital hypothyroidism due to I− transport defect (ITD). ITD is a rare autosomal disorder that, if not treated promptly in infancy, can cause mental retardation, as the TH decrease results in improper development of the nervous system. However, in some patients, hypothyroidism has been ameliorated by unusually large amounts of dietary I−. Here we report the first NIS knockout (KO) mouse model, obtained by targeting exons 6 and 7 of the Slc5a5 gene. In NIS KO mice, in the thyroid, stomach, and salivary gland, NIS is absent, and hence there is no active accumulation of the NIS substrate pertechnetate (99mTcO4−). NIS KO mice showed undetectable serum T4 and very low serum T3 levels when fed a diet supplying the minimum I− requirement for rodents. These hypothyroid mice displayed oxidative stress in the thyroid, but not in the brown adipose tissue or liver. Feeding the mice a high-I− diet partially rescued TH biosynthesis, demonstrating that, at high I− concentrations, I− enters the thyroid through routes other than NIS.

Abstract
Incretin‐based therapies are widely used to treat type 2 diabetes. Although hypoglycemic actions of incretins are mostly due to their insulinotropic/glucagonostatic effects, they may also influence extrapancreatic metabolism. We administered exendin‐4 (Ex‐4), a long‐acting glucagon‐like peptide receptor agonist, at low dose (0.1 nmol/kg/day) for a short period (10 days), in obese nondiabetic fa/fa Zucker rats (ZFRs). Ex‐4‐treated ZFRs were compared to vehicle (saline)‐treated ZFRs and vehicle‐ and Ex‐4‐treated lean rats (LRs). Blood glucose levels were measured at days 0, 9, and 10. Ingested food and animal weight were recorded daily. On the day of sacrifice (d10), blood was sampled along with liver, epididymal, subcutaneous, brown adipose, and skeletal muscle tissues from animals fasted for 24 h. Plasma insulin and blood glucose levels, food intake, and body and epididymal fat weight were unchanged, but gross morphological changes were observed in insulin‐sensitive tissues. The average size of hepatocytes was significantly lower in Ex‐4‐treated ZFRs, associated with decreased number and size of lipid droplets and 4‐hydroxy‐2‐nonenal (HNE) staining, a marker of oxidative stress (OS). Myocytes, which were smaller in ZFRs than in LRs, were significantly enlarged and depleted of lipid droplets in Ex‐4‐treated ZFRs. Weak HNE staining was increased by Ex‐4. A similar observation was made in brown adipose tissue, whereas the elevated HNE staining observed in epididymal adipocytes of ZFRs, suggestive of strong OS, was decreased by Ex‐4. These results suggest that incretins by acting on OS in insulin‐sensitive tissues may contribute to weight‐independent improvement in insulin sensitivity.

Activation of the Nrf2-Keap 1 Pathway in Short-Term Iodide Excess in Thyroid in Rats. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2017; 2017:4383652. [PMID: 28133506 PMCID: PMC5241484 DOI: 10.1155/2017/4383652] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2016] [Revised: 10/29/2016] [Accepted: 11/23/2016] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Wistar rats were randomly divided into groups of varying iodide intake: normal iodide; 10 times high iodide; and 100 times high iodide on Days 7, 14, and 28. Insignificant changes were observed in thyroid hormone levels (p > 0.05). Urinary iodine concentration and iodine content in the thyroid glands increased after high consumption of iodide from NI to 100 HI (p < 0.05). The urinary iodine concentration of the 100 HI group on Days 7, 14, and 28 was 60–80 times that of the NI group. The mitochondrial superoxide production and expressions of Nrf2, Srx, and Prx 3 all significantly increased, while Keap 1 significantly decreased in the 100 HI group when compared to the NI or 10 HI group on Days 7, 14, and 28 (p < 0.05). Immunofluorescence staining results showed that Nrf2 was localized in the cytoplasm in NI group. Although Nrf2 was detected in both cytoplasm and nucleus in 10 HI and 100 HI groups, a stronger positive staining was found in the nucleus. We conclude that the activation of the Nrf2-Keap 1 antioxidative defense mechanism may play a crucial role in protecting thyroid function from short-term iodide excess in rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is a transcription factor that regulates the expression of multiple target genes involved in several metabolic pathways as well as in inflammation. The expression and cell localization of caveolin-1 (Cav-1), thyroperoxidase (TPO), and dual oxidase (DUOX), involved in extracellular iodination, is modulated by Th1 cytokines in human normal thyroid cells and in Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were (i) to analyze the PPARγ protein and mRNA expression at the follicular level in HT versus controls in correlation with the one of Cav-1; (ii) to study the effects of Th1 cytokines on PPARγ and catalase expression in human thyrocyte primary cultures; and (iii) to study the effects of pioglitazone, a PPARγ agonist, on thyroxisome components (Cav-1, TPO, DUOX) and on catalase, involved in antioxidant defense. RESULTS Although the global expression of PPARγ in the whole gland of patients with HT was not modified compared with controls, there was great heterogeneity among glands and among follicles within the same thyroid. Besides normal (type 1) follicles, there were around inflammatory zones, hyperactive (type 2) follicles with high PPARγ and Cav-1 expression, and inactive (type 3) follicles which were unable to form thyroxine and did not express PPARγ or Cav-1. In human thyrocytes in primary culture, Th1 cytokines decreased PPARγ and catalase expression; pioglitazone increased Cav-1, TPO, and catalase expression. CONCLUSION PPARγ may play a central role in normal thyroid physiology by upregulating Cav-1, essential for the organization of the thyroxisome and extracellular iodination. By upregulating catalase, PPARγ may also contribute to cell homeostasis. The inhibitory effect of Th1 cytokines on PPARγ expression may be considered as a new pathogenetic mechanism for HT, and the use of PPARγ agonists could open a new therapeutic approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thyroid cancer (TC) has one of the fastest increasing incidences worldwide and primarily involves papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). The BRAF(V600E) mutation is the most common genetic alteration identified in PTC. There are few data concerning an association between the rising incidence of PTC and the increasing prevalence of BRAF-positive cases. Environmental factors such as iodine intake may be responsible for the changing molecular features of PTC. The aim of this study was to evaluate probable variations in the frequency of the BRAF(V600E) mutation in PTC that were diagnosed at a single institution over 14 years in Poland, a country with a demonstrated improvement in iodine supplementation in the early 21st century. METHODS Time-dependent trends in the prevalence of the BRAF(V600E) mutation during three time periods (2000-2004, 2005-2009, and 2010-2013) were analyzed. The BRAF mutation was genotyped using direct sequencing, allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and real-time PCR in 723 unselected cases of PTC that were diagnosed in 2000-2013. Trends in the clinicopathologic characteristics of all PTCs and BRAF(V600E)-positive PTCs were also analyzed. RESULTS The proportion of PTCs with mutations significantly increased over the study period (54.8% vs. 70.6%; p = 0.001). The median tumor size of all and BRAF-positive tumors decreased (p = 0.008 and p = 0.001, respectively) and correlated with an increase in the proportion of all and mutated microcarcinomas (p = 0.003 and p = 0.003, respectively). A decrease in all and mutated tumors between 2 and 4 cm was also observed (p = 0.002 and p = 0.006, respectively). A significant decrease in tumors ≥ 4 cm in size was only observed in BRAF-positive cases (p = 0.017). The proportion of classic PTC with BRAF(V600E) mutation was observed to increase (57.6% vs. 74.4%; p = 0.001) and was stable for the follicular variant of PTC (p = 0.336). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of the BRAF(V600E)mutation increased significantly in PTCs diagnosed in the authors' institution. Improved detection and several causative factors, most likely environmental and changes in iodine intake, may contribute to the increasing occurrence of TC.

BACKGROUND Increased oxidative stress has been suggested as one of the underlying mechanisms in iodide excess-induced thyroid disease. Metallothioneins (MTs) are regarded as scavengers of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in oxidative stress. Our aim is to investigate the effects of propylthiouracil (PTU), a thyroid peroxidase inhibitor, perchlorate (KClO₄), a competitive inhibitor of iodide transport, and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) on mitochondrial superoxide production instigated by high concentrations of iodide in the thyroids of MT-I/II knockout (MT-I/II KO) mice. METHODS Eight-week-old 129S7/SvEvBrd-Mt1(tm1Bri) Mt2(tm1Bri)/J (MT-I/II KO) mice and background-matched wild type (WT) mice were used. RESULTS By using a mitochondrial superoxide indicator (MitoSOX Red), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, and methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay, we demonstrated that the decreased relative viability and increased LDH release and mitochondrial superoxide production induced by potassium iodide (100 μM) can be relieved by 300 μM PTU, 30 μM KClO₄, or 10 U/L TSH in the thyroid cell suspensions of both MT-I/II KO and WT mice (P<0.05). Compared to the WT mice, a significant decrease in the relative viability along with a significant increase in LDH release and mitochondrial superoxide production were detected in MT-I/II KO mice(P<0.05). CONCLUSION We concluded that PTU, KClO₄, or TSH relieved the mitochondrial oxidative stress induced by high concentrations of iodide in the thyroids of both MT-I/II KO and WT mice. MT-I/II showed antioxidant effects against high concentrations of iodide-induced mitochondrial superoxide production in the thyroid.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We have aimed to study the relation between Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and thyroid autoantibodies and oxidative stress parameters in euthyroid, subclinical and overt hypothyroid stages. DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 124 patients were included in the study; 93 of whom were newly diagnosed with HT (31 patients in each of the euthyroid, subclinical hypothyroid and overt hypothyroid subgroups), aged over 18 and had not received any prior treatment and 31 of whom were healthy volunteers. RESULTS Total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) levels were higher, and total antioxidant status (TAS) and total thiol and arylesterase levels were lower in the overt hypothyroid group compared to other groups. TOS and OSI levels increased, and TAS levels decreased significantly in each phase from euthyroid, subclinical hypothyroid, to overt hypothyroid subgroups among HT patients. There was a negative correlation between TAS, log (paraoxonase1) and paraoxonase1/HDL and anti-thyroid peroxidase and a negative correlation between anti-thyroglobulin and total thiol. It was also determined that overt hypothroidism was an individual predictor that effects all of the oxidative stress parameters, but not total thiol, levels. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that oxidative stress increases continuously during the development of subclinical hypothyroidism and overt hypothyroidism in patients with HT. To determine whether this is a cause or result, randomized, controlled trials that study the effect of antioxidant treatment on the development of overt hypothyroidism and its consequences, e.g., increase in total cholesterol levels, may be performed in euthyroid and/or subclinical hypothyroid patients with HT.

Trace elements profile is associated with insulin resistance syndrome and oxidative damage in thyroid disorders: Manganese and selenium interest in Algerian participants with dysthyroidism. J Trace Elem Med Biol 2015; 32:112-21.

Abstract
The relationship between dysthyroidism and antioxidant trace elements (ATE) status is very subtle during oxidative stress (OS). This relationship is mediated by thyroid hormone (TH) disorder, insulin resistance syndrome (IRS) and inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate ATE such as selenium (Se), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) status on thyroid dysfunction, and their interaction with antioxidant enzyme activities, mainly, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), TH profile (TSH, T(3), T(4)) and IRS clusters. The study was undertaken on 220 Algerian adults (30-50 years), including 157 women and 63 men who were divided to 4 groups: subclinical hypothyroidism (n = 50), overt hypothyroidism (n = 60), Graves's disease hyperthyroidism (n = 60) and euthyroid controls (n = 50). The IRS was confirmed according to NCEP (National Cholesterol Education Program). Insulin resistance was evaluated by HOMA-IR model. Trace elements were determined by the Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (Flame-AAS) technique. The antioxidant enzymes activity and metabolic parameters were determined by biochemical methods. The TH profile and anti-Thyroperoxidase Antibodies (anti-TPO-Ab) were evaluated by radioimmunoassay. Results showed that the plasma manganese levels were significantly increased in all dysthyroidism groups (p ≤ 0.01). However, the plasma copper and zinc concentrations were maintained normal or not very disturbed vs control group. In contrast, the plasma selenium levels were highly decreased (p ≤ 0.001) and positively correlated with depletion of glutathione peroxidase activity; and associated both with anti-TPO-Ab overexpression and fulminant HS-CRP levels. This study confirms the oxidative stress-inflammation relationship in the dysthyroidism. The thyroid follicles antioxidant protection appears preserved in the cytosol (Cu/Zn-SOD), while it is altered in the mitochondria (Mn-SOD), which gives this cell organelle, a status of real target therapy in thyroid dysfunction. The publisher would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused. [corrected].

Abstract
BACKGROUND Graves' orbitopathy (GO) is the main extrathyroidal manifestation associated with Graves' disease (GD). It is characterized by reduced eye motility due to an increased volume of orbital fat and/or of extraocular muscles (EOMs) infiltrated by fibrosis and adipose tissue. The pathogenetic mechanisms leading to fibrosis and adipogenesis are mainly based on the interaction between orbital fibroblasts and immune cells (lymphocytes and mast cells) infiltrating the GO EOMs. METHODS Analysis of the morphological status, oxidative stress (OS), and antioxidant defenses in the orbital muscular cells and adipocytes in GO patients compared with controls was conducted. RESULTS Both cell types are affected by OS, as shown by the increased expression of 4-hydroxynonenal, which leads to apoptosis in muscular cells. However, the EOMs and the adipocytes possess antioxidant defenses (peroxiredoxin 5 and catalase) against the OS, which are also upregulated in thyrocytes in GD. The expression of adiponectin (ApN) and proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is also increased in GO muscular cells and adipocytes. OS and antioxidant proteins expression are correlated to the level of blood antithyrotropin receptor antibodies (TSHR-Ab). CONCLUSION Even when TSHR-Ab level is normalized, OS and antioxidant protein expression is high in EOM muscular cells and adipocytes in GO compared with controls. This justifies a supplementation with antioxidants in active as well as chronic GO patients. Orbital muscular cells are also the sources of PPARγ and ApN, which have direct or indirect local protective effects against OS. Modulation of these proteins could be considered as a future therapeutic approach for GO.

Mitochondrial Respiratory Chain Inhibitors Involved in ROS Production Induced by Acute High Concentrations of Iodide and the Effects of SOD as a Protective Factor. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2015; 2015:217670. [PMID: 26294939 PMCID: PMC4532905 DOI: 10.1155/2015/217670] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2014] [Revised: 02/12/2015] [Accepted: 03/24/2015] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
A major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation is the mitochondria. By using flow cytometry of the mitochondrial fluorescent probe, MitoSOX Red, western blot of mitochondrial ROS scavenger Peroxiredoxin (Prx) 3 and fluorescence immunostaining, ELISA of cleaved caspases 3 and 9, and TUNEL staining, we demonstrated that exposure to 100 μM KI for 2 hours significantly increased mitochondrial superoxide production and Prx 3 protein expression with increased expressions of cleaved caspases 3 and 9. Besides, we indicated that superoxide dismutase (SOD) at 1000 unit/mL attenuated the increase in mitochondrial superoxide production, Prx 3 protein expression, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and improved the relative cell viability at 100 μM KI exposure. However, SOD inhibitor diethyldithiocarbamic acid (DETC) (2 mM), Rotenone (0.5 μM), a mitochondrial complex I inhibitor, and Antimycin A (10 μM), a complex III inhibitor, caused an increase in mitochondrial superoxide production, Prx 3 protein expression, and LDH release and decreased the relative cell viability. We conclude that the inhibitors of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I or III may be involved in oxidative stress caused by elevated concentrations of iodide, and SOD demonstrates its protective effect on the Fischer rat thyroid cell line (FRTL) cells.

Metallothionein-I/II Knockout Mice Aggravate Mitochondrial Superoxide Production and Peroxiredoxin 3 Expression in Thyroid after Excessive Iodide Exposure. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2015; 2015:267027.

Abstract
Purpose. We aim to figure out the effect of metallothioneins on iodide excess induced oxidative stress in the thyroid. Methods. Eight-week-old MT-I/II knockout (MT-I/II KO) mice and background-matched wild-type (WT) mice were used. Mitochondrial superoxide production and peroxiredoxin (Prx) 3 expression were measured. Results. In in vitro study, more significant increases in mitochondrial superoxide production and Prx 3 expression were detected in the MT-I/II KO groups. In in vivo study, significantly higher concentrations of urinary iodine level were detected in MT-I/II KO mice in 100 HI group. Compared to the NI group, there was no significant difference existing in serum thyroid hormones level in either groups (P > 0.05), while the mitochondrial superoxide production was significantly increased in 100 HI groups with significantly increased LDH activity and decreased relative cell viability. Compared to WT mice, more significant changes were detected in MT-I/II KO mice in 100 HI groups. No significant differences were detected between the NI group and 10 HI group in both the MT-I/II KO and WT mice groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions. Iodide excess in a thyroid without MT I/II protection may result in strong mitochondrial oxidative stress, which further leads to the damage of thyrocytes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The exact mechanism for different propensities to obesity when consuming a high-fat diet (HFD) is largely unknown. Thyroid hormone (TH) is an important modulator of energy homeostasis and body weight. OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to find the potential mechanisms of TH in the development of obesity-prone (OP) and obesity-resistant (OR) mice after short-term and long-term HFD feeding. METHODS C57Bl/6 male mice were randomly divided into two groups: a low-fat diet (LFD) group and an HFD group. In the 7th week, HFD-fed mice were classified as OP or OR according to upper and lower tertiles of body weight. Half of the mice were sacrificed at this time point and the remaining mice were kept on feeding and sacrificed in the 27th week. Indirect calorimetry was performed. At harvest, serum was used for ELISA assays and oxidative stress biomarkers determination. Tissues were dissected for deiodinases activity and relative mRNA expression determination, as well as antioxidant capacity evaluation. RESULTS In the 7th week, OP mice showed a significant body weight gain, decreased energy expenditure (EE), normal circulating TH levels, and activated HPT axis, whereas OR mice had normal body weight and maintained T(3) levels only through enhancing hepatic D1 activity. In the 27th week, OR mice gained more body weight than LFD mice accompanied by an activation of HPT axis and decreased hepatic deiodination. Genes involved in TH production were down-regulated in OP mice and up-regulated in OR mice. Changes in deiodinases activity and thyroid function were related with redox status in specific tissues. Furthermore, OP mice had more serious hepatic steatosis than OR mice, with up-regulation of T(3) target genes (e.g. Srebp1c, Acc1, Fasn) involved in lipid synthesis and down-regulation of Pgc1α, Cyp7a1 and Cpt1α. CONCLUSIONS HPT axis function and deiodinases activity might be involved in different propensities to obesity and the ability of OR mice to resist obesity was limited.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor- (PPAR-) γ expression has been shown in thyroid tissue from patients with thyroiditis or Graves' disease and furthermore in the orbital tissue of patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO), such as in extraocular muscle cells. An increasing body of evidence shows the importance of the (C-X-C motif) receptor 3 (CXCR3) and cognate chemokines (C-X-C motif) ligand (CXCL)9, CXCL10, and CXCL11, in the T helper 1 immune response and in inflammatory diseases such as thyroid autoimmune disorders. PPAR-γ agonists show a strong inhibitory effect on the expression and release of CXCR3 chemokines, in vitro, in various kinds of cells, such as thyrocytes, and in orbital fibroblasts, preadipocytes, and myoblasts from patients with GO. Recently, it has been demonstrated that rosiglitazone is involved in a higher risk of heart failure, stroke, and all-cause mortality in old patients. On the contrary, pioglitazone has not shown these effects until now; this favors pioglitazone for a possible use in patients with thyroid autoimmunity. However, further studies are ongoing to explore the use of new PPAR-γ agonists in the treatment of thyroid autoimmune disorders.
