Area of Science:

Immunology
Endocrinology
Autoimmune Diseases

Background:

Graves' disease (GD) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by anti-TSH receptor (TSHR) autoantibodies, leading to hyperthyroidism.
Severe cases manifest with Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO), acropachy, and dermopathy.
The TSHR is central to GD pathogenesis, making it a key target for disease modeling.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish effective in vivo models for studying Graves' disease pathogenesis and evaluating treatments.
To overcome immune tolerance to the conserved TSHR across species.

Main Methods:

Immunization against the TSHR using strategies to break immune tolerance.
Introduction of the human TSHR extracellular domain via plasmid or adenovirus vectors.
Assessment of immunomodulatory therapies and disease prevention strategies.

Main Results:

Successful development of animal models that replicate the full spectrum of Graves' disease, including autoimmune thyroid disease and orbitopathy.
Current models are suitable for pathogenesis research and therapeutic intervention studies.
Emerging research explores disease prevention through tolerance induction using TSHR-derived peptides.

Conclusions:

Animal models expressing human TSHR are essential for advancing Graves' disease research.
These models facilitate the study of disease mechanisms and the testing of novel therapeutic approaches.
Future directions include developing tolerance-inducing strategies for disease prevention.
