摘要
Apoptosis occurs in many autoimmune diseases. Excess iodine induces thyrocyte apoptosis and increases the incidence and prevalence of autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT). However, the sequence of events between the appearance of thyrocyte apoptosis and the occurrence of thyroiditis remains uncharacterized. Furthermore, few studies have investigated the role of macrophage phagocytosis in the development of AIT. Therefore, we evaluated the relationship between apoptosis and inflammatory infiltration in NOD.H-2h4 mouse thyroids by comparing the sequence of events in tissue samples. We also investigated the role of macrophages by comparing macrophage phagocytosis function in BALB/c, C57BL/6, and NOD.H-2h4 mice treated with different levels of iodine. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assays and thyroid inflammatory scores revealed that apoptosis (2 weeks) occurred before inflammatory infiltration (4 weeks). Phosphatidylserine (PS) expression on the extracellular surface of the cell membrane and double-stranded DNA fragments associated with apoptosis appeared at 2 and 8 weeks, respectively. Additionally, although apoptosis was enhanced in the thyroids of mice supplemented with excess iodine (0.05 ± 0.12 vs 1.63 ± 0.82% for BALB/c, 0.09 ± 0.14 vs 1.51 ± 0.34% for C57BL/6, and 0.07 ± 1.11 vs 4.72 ± 0.62% for NOD.H-2h4 mice), only NOD.H-2h4 mouse thyroids presented with inflammation. Furthermore, macrophages from NOD.H-2h4 mice (44.46 ± 1.79%) exhibited decreased phagocytotic activity relative to that in BALB/c (54.21 ± 4.58%) and C57BL/6 (58.96 ± 4.04%) mice. There were no differences in phagocytosis function between NOD.H-2h4 mice supplemented with excess iodine or left untreated (24.50 ± 2.66 vs 21.71 ± 1.79%, p = 0.06). In conclusion, deficiencies in the apoptosis clearance of macrophages in NOD.H-2h4 mice may constitute an early pathogenic mechanism in AIT that is not influenced by iodine intake.
