Learning Objectives Review recent developments in solving the pathogenesis of TAO Introduce the concept that bone marrow derived fibrocytes express high levels of TSHR and infiltrate the orbit in TAO. Discuss the concept that fibrocytes express several “thyroid- specific’ proteins that become suppressed by native orbital fibroblasts Introduce the concept that the orbit in TAO represents a recapitulation of the thyroid

Identifying an Orbital Antigen Explaining TAO

  • While TSHR represents the central antigen in GD,

the mechanisms through which orbital tissues become activated remains uncertain.

  • Multiple antigens have been proposed as potentially

important to the pathogenesis of TAO

  • TSHR (Fenzi et al, Bahn et al, several others)
  • Tg (Kriss, Marino et al)
  • Muscle antigens (Wall et al)
  • IGF-1R (Kendall-Taylor, Smith)

To date, no convincing evidence substantiates antigen- specific T cell infiltration of the orbit in TAO

Electroporation of TSHR-Expressing Plasmid Results in Orbital Inflammation

  • Electroporation with TSHR A subunit containing plasmid

leads to a phenotype both typical and atypical of TAO

  • Orbital congestion
  • Muscle enlargement
  • Orbital fat expansion
  • Infiltration of T cells, F4/80+ macrophages, and mast cells
  • Predominance of TSHR blocking Abs and hypothyroidism
  • Dramatic mononuclear infiltration of the optic nerve
  • IGF-1R containing plasmids failed to elicit pathology
  • Anti-IGF-1R Abs became detectable in many animals

immunized with TSHR.

Conclusions

Orbital fibroblasts in TAO exhibit unique phenotypes. TSHR/IGF-1R complexes form in fibroblasts and

  • fibrocytes. Interrupting IGF-1R function attenuates Erk

and Akt signaling initiated by TSHR and blocks cytokine induction. CD34+ fibrocytes express functional TSHR, Tg, NIS, and TPO and infiltrate the orbit in TAO where levels drop. This results from negative influence from native CD34-

  • rbital fibroblasts

These insights might lead to more specific therapies Could the TAO orbit represent a recapitulation of the thyroid? .
