Peroxidase activities in autonomously functioning nodules and adjacent non-tumorous portions of thyroids.

چکیده
Peroxidase activities of autonomously functioning thyroid tumors (T) and surrounding non-tumorous tissue (N) in 5 patients were determined by employing guaiacol or iodide as the second substrates. The mean values for specific activities of T were 30 times (in iodide oxidation assay) or 4 times (in guaiacol oxidation assay) as high as those in N, being significantly higher than those of non-functioning tumors. The thyroglobulin-iodination activity of thyroid peroxidase in T was also found to correlate well to the iodide oxidation activity. These results suggest that the enhanced peroxidase activity in the nodules plays an essential role in the function of autonomously functioning thyroid nodules.

Histometry of thyroids containing few and multiple nodules.
Histometric measurements were made on individual nodules and the internodular thyroid on glands from 15 patients without evidence of endocrine thyroid disease: some of the thyroids had multiple nodules. Measurements of the surviving internodular thyroid tissue showed that the various components were each within the normal range for thyroids from patients with no evidence of thyroid disease, but...
متن کاملComplementary DNA expression array analysis suggests a lower expression of signal transduction proteins and receptors in cold and hot thyroid nodules.
Autonomously functioning thyroid nodules are characterized by an increased proliferation and function, which is predominantly caused by constitutively activating TSH receptor mutations leading to an activation of cAMP. In contrast to autonomously functioning thyroid nodules, cold thyroid nodules are functionally inactive and less differentiated. Their molecular cause is still unknown. To furthe...
متن کاملClinicopathological and prognostic implications of endoglin (CD105) expression in hepatocellular carcinoma and its adjacent non-tumorous liver.
AIM The expression pattern of endoglin (CD105) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been reported so far. We hypothesized that CD105 could differentially highlight a subset of microvessels in HCC, and intratumoral microvessel density (IMVD) by CD105 immunostaining (IMVD-CD105) could provide better prognostic information than IMVD by CD34 immunostaining (IMVD-CD34). METHODS Paraffin block...
متن کاملApplication of improved coupling assay method for peroxidase of diseased thyroids: report of three cases.
Recently we have developed an assay method for peroxidase-catalyzed coupling of iodotyronine residues of thyroglobulin, which is applicable to human diseased thyroid tissues. In the present study, the assay method as well as usual peroxidase assay methods were applied to thyroids of three patients (No. 1: familial goiter with impaired thyroglobulin synthesis, No. 2: mild chronic thyroiditis, No...
متن کاملClinical review 133: Progress in understanding the etiology of thyroid autonomy.
The etiology of thyroid autonomy and autonomously functioning thyroid nodules has been reviewed, with emphasis on histological (1, 2), molecular (3), and clinical aspects (4) as well as transgenic animal experiments that model thyroid autonomy (5). Somatic TSH receptor (TSHR) mutations have been discovered as the most prevalent molecular event in the etiology of autonomously functioning thyroid...
