Abstract

This study investigated serum levels of the soluble form of CD30 (sCD30), which is mainly secreted from T helper 2(Th2) cells, in autoimmune thyroid diseases. The possible relationship of sCD30 to autoantibody production was also evaluated. Serum levels of sCD30 were determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 71 patients with Graves' disease, 37 patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and 21 normal donors. Compared with normal subjects (7.1 +/- 4.5 U/mL), sCD30 was increased in patients with Graves' disease (29.2 +/- 25.2 U/mL, P < 0.0001) and in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (29.9 +/- 26.9 U/mL, P < 0.0001). In Graves' disease, sCD30 levels were higher in thyrotoxic patients (41.7 +/- 31.2 U/mL, P < 0.001) than in remission patients (15.8 +/- 11.0 U/mL), and a significant correlation was observed between sCD30 levels and serum activities of TSH receptor antibody (r = 0.444, P < 0.0001). In Hashimoto's thyroiditis, sCD30 levels were higher in patients with transient destructive thyrotoxicosis caused by the aggravation of the disease (48.8 +/- 34.4 U/mL, P < 0.05) than in euthyroid patients (24.2 +/- 19.4 U/mL). These data suggest that serum sCD30 is a valuable marker of disease activity and support an importan...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Thyroiditis

Autoimmune thyroiditis is an inflammatory disease of thyroid gland due to autoimmune responses leading to lymphocytic infiltration of the gland. It is characterized by the presence of circulating thyroid antigen-specific T-cells and thyroid autoantibodies. Discover the latest research on autoimmune thyroiditis here.
