Background And Purpose: Patients with active cancer face an increased risk of ischemic stroke. Also, stroke may be an initial indicator of cancer. In patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke treated with thrombectomy, analysis of the clot composition may contribute new insights into the pathological connections between these two conditions.

To elucidate the role of IGF1R inhibition in the pathogenesis of Graves' orbitopathy (GO), the effects of linsitinib (Lins) on a recombinant human TSHR antibody (M22) and IGF1 to activate TSHR and IGF1R of human orbital fibroblasts (HOFs) obtained from patients without GO (HOFs) and patients with GO (GHOFs) were studied using in vitro three-dimensional (3D) spheroid models in addition to their 2D planar cell culture. For this purpose, we evaluated 1) cellular metabolic functions by using a seahorse bioanalyzer (2D), 2) physical properties including size and stiffness of 3D spheroids, and mRNA expression of several extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, their modulators (CCL2 LOX, CTGF, MMPs), ACTA2 and inflammatory cytokines (IL1β, IL6). Administration of IGF1 and M22 induced increases of cellular metabolic functions with the effect on HOFs being much more potent than the effect on GHOFs, suggesting that IGF1R and TSHR of GHOFs may already be stimulated.

RBM47 as a potential therapeutic target for thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy.

Int Immunopharmacol

January 2025

Department of Ophthalmology, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430022, China. Electronic address:

RNA-binding motif 47 (RBM47) is a recently identified RNA-binding protein involved in early vertebrate development, immune homeostasis, and cancer development. This study examined the biological functions of RBM47 in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO). Orbital fibroblasts (OFs) were obtained from the control (n = 6) and TAO groups (n = 6).

Stimulation of Piezo1 mechanosensitive channels inhibits adipogenesis in thyroid eye disease.

J Clin Endocrinol Metab

January 2025

Division of Endocrinology, Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Debrecen, Debrecen, Hungary, Address: Hungary, 4032 Debrecen Nagyerdei krt. 98. Tel. +36-52-255-600.

Context: Increased orbital tissue volume due to matrix expansion, orbital fibroblast (OF) proliferation and adipocyte differentiation are the hallmarks of thyroid eye disease (TED). Their combination with the presence of hyaluronan-bound excess water in the constrains of the bony orbit results in increased intraorbital pressure. High intraorbital pressure, along with changes in the mechanical properties of orbital tissues, may lead to the activation of mechanosensitive receptors.

Background: Thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO) is an autoimmune inflammatory disorder of the orbital adipose tissue, primarily causing oxidative stress injury and tissue remodeling in the orbital connective tissue. Ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death driven by the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), iron metabolism disorder, and lipid peroxidation. This study aims to identify and validate the optimal feature genes (OFGs) of ferroptosis with diagnostic and therapeutic potential in TAO orbital adipose tissue through bioinformatics analysis and to assess their correlation with disease-related immune cell infiltration.
