摘要
Interleukin-1 is a potent inhibitor of thyroglobulin and cAMP production in human thyroid cells and the inhibitory effect is enhanced by tumor necrosis factor-α and interferon-β In the present study secondary cultures of human thyroid cells produced interleukin-6 and the production was significantly increased after exposure of the cells to recombinant interleukin-α and -1β This increase was dose-dependent and concomitant of the IL-1 induced decrease in cAMP and thyroglobulin production. Both tumor necrosis factor-α and -β also augmented interleukin-6 production, but less potently than interleukin-1. Interferon-γ did not affect the production of interleukin-6. The rat thyroid cell line FRTL-5 produced interleukin-6 spontaneously, and the production was enhanced after addition of recombinant interleukin-1β. A pathogenetic role of interleukin-6 in autoimmune thyroid disease is suggested. © 1991 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
