We report the structural organization of a segment of the human thyroglobulin gene, located 70kb from the 3' end of the gene, containing the exons 8 and 9 starting from the 3' end. Selected probes from this region have been used for the chromosomal mapping of the thyroglobulin gene by in situ hybridization techniques. Only one site in the human haploid karyotype is labeled with the genomic DNA probes. Twenty percent of the grains are localized on the long arm of chromosome 8, mostly in the subregion q-2-23 q-2-24 of the long arm of chromosome 8. The localization of the autoradiographic grains suggests a subregional assignment of the human thyroglobulin gene locus to 8q 2-23 or 8q 2-24.

Article Synopsis
- Thyroid hormones (TH) are crucial for regulating cell functions and metabolism, with their synthesis in the thyroid gland relying on high levels of hydrogen peroxide (HO) for iodide oxidation.
- The study investigates Retinol Saturase (RetSat), an enzyme that protects cells from oxidative stress, and finds it is highly expressed in the thyroid gland, influencing TH production and metabolism.
- Deleting RetSat in thyroid cells results in changes to hormone levels and thyroid morphology, suggesting that it plays an important role in maintaining TH balance and overall metabolic stability.
Linsitinib Decreases Thyrotropin-Induced Thyroid Hormone Synthesis by Inhibiting Crosstalk Between Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone and Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 Receptors in Human Thyrocytes and in Mice.

Thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) have been shown to crosstalk in primary cultures of human thyrocytes (hThyros) and Graves' orbital fibroblasts. The phenomenon of TSHR/IGF-1R crosstalk has been largely studied in the pathogenesis of thyroid eye disease (TED) in human orbital fibroblasts. Here, we investigated the effects of inhibiting the IGF-1R-mediated contribution to crosstalk by linsitinib (Lins), a small-molecule IGF-1R kinase inhibitor, on TSH-induced regulation of thyroperoxidase (TPO) and thyroglobulin (TG) mRNAs and proteins in hThyros and on TPO and TG mRNAs and free thyroxine (fT4) levels in mice.

Female SD rats were immunized with iodine-rich drinking water combined with Freund's adjuvant and porcine thyroglobulin(pTG) to establish the EAT model of rats, and the levels of serum thyroperoxidase antibody(TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibody(TGAb) were detected. Pathological sections by hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining were observed.

Article Synopsis
- Excessive iodine intake can lead to autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT), with methylation changes in the PD-L2 gene potentially playing a crucial role in this condition.
- Researchers used Decitabine, a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor, in an experimental model to explore the effects on AIT, involving various biochemical and molecular techniques to assess thyroid function and immune responses.
- Results indicated that iodine-induced AIT was associated with decreased PD-L2 methylation and increased inflammatory markers, while treatment with Decitabine improved thyroid function trends and altered PD-L2 expression, though more safety evaluations are needed for this potential treatment.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and potential mechanism of Bailing capsule (, BL) anti-autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT).
Methods: Based on the AIT rat model, the effect of BL in alleviating AIT was evaluated by detecting serum thyroid index free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb), thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb), and inflammatory factors Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), Interleukin-4, -10, and -12 (IL-4, IL-10, and IL-12) as well as thyroid tissue Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and ultrastructure observation. The mechanism of BL was explored by combining transcriptome and proteome analysis, and further verified by Western blot (WB).
