ABSTRACT

Thyroid hormones have essential roles in regulation of cellular functions, including the immune system. The purinergic signaling, activated through extracellular nucleotides and nucleosides has also strong implications in immune response regulation. Hypothyroidism may involve effects on the immune and purinergic systems. In view of that, we evaluated cytokines levels, their relation with the expression of purinergic enzymes and the effects of this condition on immune system cells from patients with post-thyroidectomy hypothyroidism. Increased IL6, IL10, IL17 and TNF-α levels as well as an increase in CD73 expression in lymphocytes were observed in patients' blood. Moreover, augmented myeloperoxidase activity, lipid peroxidation and thiolgroup production were observed in post-thyroidectomy hypothyroidism. In addition, proliferation and cell death of lymphocytes were enhanced when exposed to patients' serum. This study demonstrates that hypothyroidism is related to changes in the purinergic system, increased cytokines production and oxidative stress, which interfere in the cell life and signaling.

ABSTRACT

Signaling mediated by purines is a widespread mechanism of cell-cell communication related to vasomotor responses and the control of platelet function in the vascular system. However, little is known about the involvement of this signaling as well as the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the development of hypothyroidism. Therefore, the present study investigates changes in the purinergic system, including enzyme activities and expression in platelets, and oxidative profiles in patients with post-thyroidectomy hypothyroidism. The nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 1 (NTPDase/CD39) expression in patients increased by 40%, and the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) or adenosine diphosphate (ADP) hydrolyzing activity increased by 82% and 70%, respectively. The activities of ecto-5´-nucleotidase and adenosine deaminase (ADA) also significantly enhanced (39% and 52%, respectively), which correlates with a 45% decrease in adenosine concentration. Furthermore, these patients demonstrated an increased production of ROS (42%), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) (115%), carbonyl protein (30%) and a decreased glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity (20%). This study demonstrates that hypothyroidism interferes with adenine nucleoside and nucleotide hydrolysis and this is correlated with oxidative stress, which might be responsible for the increase in ADA activity. This increase causes rapid adenosine deamination, which can generate a decrease in their concentration in the systemic circulation, which can be associated with the development of vascular complications.
