This study establishes a new spontaneous autoimmune thyroiditis (SAT) mouse model for Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) research. The model allows for detailed evaluation of pathological changes during iodine induction, aiding in understanding HT development and treatment screening.

Area of Science:

Immunology
Endocrinology
Pathology

Background:

Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is the most common autoimmune thyroid disease, characterized by thyroid lymphocyte infiltration and autoantibodies.
Current research models include experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT) and spontaneous autoimmune thyroiditis (SAT), each with limitations in fully recapitulating HT pathogenesis.
The NOD.H-2h4 mouse is a SAT model for HT, but comprehensive evaluation of pathological processes during iodine induction is lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish and evaluate a novel spontaneous autoimmune thyroiditis (SAT) mouse model for Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) research.
To comprehensively assess the pathological changes in this SAT model over an extended period of iodine induction.
To provide a valuable tool for understanding HT's pathological development and for screening novel therapeutic strategies.

Main Methods:

Establishment of a spontaneous autoimmune thyroiditis (SAT) mouse model in NOD.H-2h4 mice.
Induction of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) through prolonged iodine feeding.
Comprehensive evaluation of pathological processes and disease progression over time.

Main Results:

The study successfully established a SAT mouse model for HT research.
Detailed pathological changes were evaluated during a long-term iodine induction period.
The model demonstrated high levels of thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb) and lymphocyte infiltration in thyroid tissue.

Conclusions:

The developed SAT mouse model provides a robust platform for studying Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) pathogenesis.
This model facilitates a deeper understanding of the long-term pathological development of HT under iodine influence.
It serves as a crucial tool for identifying and testing new treatment modalities for HT.
