ABSTRACT

A suspensão da tiroxina (T4) ou o TSH recombinante são usados para a estimulação da tireoglobulina (Tg), para o mapeamento de corpo inteiro (MCI) e para o tratamento com 131Iodo em pacientes com carcinoma tireoideano. Esse estudo avaliou um protocolo de redução de dose do T4 como alternativa para o preparo desses pacientes. Cinquenta e um pacientes submeteram-se à suspensão total de T4 para o MCI e a medida de Tg. Tratamento com T4 foi então reinstituído e mantido até que o TSH atingisse níveis < 0.3 mUI/l. A dose de T4 foi então dominuída para 0,8 µg/kg/dia e o TSH medido semanalmente. A Tg foi analisada quando o TSH estava > 30 mUI/l. Pacientes diagnosticados com a doença na fase inicial da avaliação foram tratados. Nós também avaliamos as alterações clínicas e laboratoriais observadas para ambos os preparos. Usando o protocolo de redução de dose, níveis de TSH > 30 mUI/l foram atingidos em 6 e 8 semanas em 84,6 and 100% dos pacientes, respectivamente. A suspensão do T4 esteve associada com sintomas mais comuns de hipotireoidismo e com elevação da creatino- quinase (CK) e LDL-colesterol. O protocolo de redução da dose de T4 mostrou-se útil para a estimulação da Tg e terapia ablativa, sem apresentar as complicações do hipotireoidismo severo ou chegar ao custo do TSH recombinante.

ABSTRACT

Säo descritos aspectos clínicos, laboratoriais e de biologia molecular em quatro pacientes pertencentes a duas famílias (Se, Fu) näo relacionadas entre si (JGSe: 9a, M; MGSe: 5a, F; ITFu: 9a, M e RHFu: 8a, M), portadores de bócio congênito e graus variados de hipotireoidismo, atribuídos a defeito de síntese de tireoglobulina (Tg). Caracteristicamente, os níveis séricos basais de Tg säo, desproporcionalmente, baixos em relaçao ao aumento de massa exibido pela tireóide (JGSe = 5,5 ng/mL; MGSe = 2,6 ng/mL; ITFu = 2 ng/mL e RHFu < 0,5 ng/mL). Em dois deles, aquelas medidas de Tg nao se elevaram após estímulo exógeno com TSH bovino: JGSe: Tg (pico) = 4,6 ng/mL e MGSe: Tg (pico) = 2,1 ng/mL. Em todos, a pesquisa de autoanticorpos (anti-TPO e TRAb) foi negativa. A análise do DNA genômico dos quatro afetados indicou ausência de polimorfismo, sugerindo que os defeitos observados näo decorrem de inserçöes ou deleçöes significativas no gene da Tg. Por näo haver indicaçao cirúrgica no momento da avaliaçäo dos pacientes, näo foi possível obter tecido tireóideo para realizaçäo de outros estudos bioquímicos e de biologia molecular os quais indicariam o erro molecular presente nestas famílias.

ABSTRACT

1. Hereditary goiter and the various degrees of thyroid hypofunction are the result of structural changes in the thyroglobulin (Tg) or thyroperoxidase (TPO) proteins, the inability to couple iodotyrosines or defective iodination, impairing or substantially altering the synthesis of T4 and T3. 2. The first nmutations in the Tg and TPO genes responsable for human cases of dys-hormonogenesis have been described. The mutation in two siblings with hereditary goiter and marked impairment of Tg synthesis was a cytosine to thymine transition creating a stop codon at postion 1510. The point mutation is removed by the preferential accumulation of a 171-nt deleted Tg mRNA. In another subject, molecular studies revealed that exon 4 was missing from the major Tg transcript due to a cytosine to guanine transversion at postion minus 3 in the acceptor splice site of intron 3. 3. Genomic DNA studies identified a duplication of a 4-base sequence in the eight exon of the TPO gene. Interestingly, besides abolishing the enzymatic activity by disrupting the reading frame of the messenger RNA and introducing stop codons, the GGCC duplication also unmasks a cryptic acceptor splice site in exon 9. 4. In conclusion, the identification of different molecular defects provied evidence that hereditary goiter associated with abnormal Tg or TPO synthesis is caused by heterogeneous genetic alterations

ABSTRACT

To determine the content of thyroglobulin in oxyphilic cells of the thyroid, which have been considered as non-thyroglobulin producing cells, the degree of stainability of the various oxyphilic cells for thyroglobulin was compared with that of non-oxyphilic follicular cells in either same or different lesion. A total of 13 oxyphilic lesions, including three follicular adenomas containing oxyphilic cell nodules, four pure oxyphilic cell adenomas, and six Hashimoto's thyroiditis were compared with 16 of non-oxyphilic lesions such as, seven follicular adenomas, four chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, and five Graves' disease. Many oxyphilic cells stained positively for thyroglobulin regardless of their morphologic variation, but less intensely than the usual follicular cells in follicular adenomas, chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, and Graves' disease. The stainability of oxyphilic cells for thyroglogulin did not show any significant correlation with morphologic features, whereas in follicular adenomas, the non-oxyphilic follicular cells forming microfollicles stained less strongly for thyroglobulin than the same cells lining large mature follicles in a reproducible way. With above findings, we concluded that oxyphilic cells maintain the functional activity in terms of thyroglobulin synthesis, although the content of the thyroglobulin is less than that of non-oxyphilic colloid forming follicular cells.
