Autophagy and Thyroid Disease

Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology

Abstract

Autophagy is a dynamic process, regulated by a variety of factors, and may play different roles in different thyroid diseases or in different stages of the same thyroid disease. Autophagy can mediate inflammatory response and immunity, which is closely related to the pathogenesis of thyroid autoimmune diseases. Therefore, it is still necessary to further understand the relationship between autophagy and autoimmune thyroid disease and hypothyroidism. With more and more studies on the relationship between autophagy and thyroid cancer, the relationship between the two is becoming more and more complicated. From the perspective of current studies, it is still worth pondering whether inhibition or activation of autophagy can be a valuable targeted therapy for thyroid cancer, and further research and efforts are still needed.
