Abstract<\/p>\n
The complex mechanisms, which are related to the pathophysiology and the development of autoimmune thyroid diseases, involve transforming growth factor beta (TGF-\u03b2) and its interplay with the immune system. The aim of this review is to examine the role of TGF-\u03b2 regarding thyroid autoimmunity and explore the potent role of this molecule either as a diagnostic or prognostic marker or a therapeutic target regarding autoimmune thyroid diseases. TGF-\u03b2 is clearly a master regulator of the immune response, exerting either inhibitory or facilitatory effects on cells of the immune system. Thus, this molecule is involved in the pathogenesis and development of autoimmune thyroid diseases. Recent research has revealed the involvement of TGF-\u03b2 in the pathophysiology of autoimmune thyroid diseases. The role of TGF-\u03b2 in the development of autoimmune thyroid diseases varies, depending on its concentrations, the type of the activated TGF-\u03b2 signalling pathway, the genetic predisposition of the patient and the pathophysiologic stage of the disease. TGF-\u03b2 could emerge as a useful diagnostic or prognostic marker for the evolution of thyroid autoimmunity. Promising perspectives for the effective therapeutic use of TGF-\u03b2 regarding thyroid autoimmunity exist. The main treatment approaches incorporate either enhancement of the immunosuppressive role of TGF-\u03b2 or inhibition of its facilitatory role in the autoimmune thyroid diseases. Further research towards deeper understanding of TGF-\u03b2 physiology and clinical application of its possible therapeutic role regarding thyroid autoimmunity is needed.<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>Read More<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-13879","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nThe role of transforming growth factor beta in thyroid autoimmunity: current knowledge and future perspectives -
