Abstract

Objective. Thyroid hormone has an especially strong impact on central nervous system development, and thyroid hormone deficiency has been shown to result in severe mental retardation. It is crucial to identify compensatory mechanisms that can be involved in improving cognitive function and the quality of life of patients with hypothyroidism.

Methods: We used the pathway-specific PCR array (Neurotrophins and Receptors RT2 Profiler PCR Array, QIAGEN, Germany) to identify and validate neurotrophins genes and their receptor expression in patients with thyroid pathology and control group.

Results: The analysis of gene expression of neurotrophins and their receptors showed that CRHBP, FRS2, FRS3, GFRA1, GFRA2, GMFB, NGF, NRG2, NRG4, NTF4, TRO, and VGF significantly decreased their expression in Group 3, which includes the patients with postoperative hypothyroidism. The patients with primary hypothyroidism stemming from AIT had significantly reduced expression of CRHBP, GFRA1, GFRA2, GMFB, NGF, PTGER2, and VGF, while the expression of NRG4 and TRO increased. In Group 3, which includes the patients with AIT and elevated serum anti-Tg and anti-TPO autoantibodies, the mRNA levels of GFRA2, NGF, NRG2, NTF4, NGF, PTGER were reduced, and the expression of CRHBP, FRS2, FRS3 GFRA1, GMFB, NRG4, TRO, and VGF significantly increased.

Conclusion: These results indicate significant variability in the transcriptional activity of the genes of encoding neurotrophins and their receptors in the peripheral blood in people with thyroid diseases.
