    Inflammatory cells in Hashimoto's thyroiditis migrate between follicular cells, not through them. Follicular cells exhibit injury and altered protein production, impacting thyroid function.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Cell Biology
    • Immunopathology

    Background:

    • Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease affecting the thyroid gland.
    • Understanding the cellular mechanisms of thyroid inflammation is crucial for disease management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the ultrastructural behavior of inflammatory cells and follicular cells in Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
    • To elucidate the pathway of inflammatory cell infiltration and the changes in follicular cell morphology and function.

    Main Methods:

    • Ultrastructural analysis using electron microscopy on thyroid tissue samples from two Hashimoto's thyroiditis patients.
    • Detailed examination of inflammatory cell infiltration, basement membrane integrity, and follicular cell ultrastructure.

    Main Results:

    • Inflammatory cells (lymphocytes, plasma cells) infiltrate thyroid follicles via diapedesis between epithelial cells, not by passing through them.
    • The basement membrane shows variable thickening and reduplication, with evidence of collagen formation.
    • Follicular cells display sublethal injury, altered rough endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, and changes consistent with squamous metaplasia.
    • Colloid production is diminished; follicular cells appear to secrete basement membrane material or keratin instead of colloid.

    Conclusions:

    • Inflammatory cell migration in Hashimoto's thyroiditis resembles neutrophil diapedesis.
    • Follicular cell injury and altered protein synthesis contribute to thyroid dysfunction in this condition.
