Overview
- The progression to Toxic multinodular goiter usually involves the somatic gain-of-function mutations in the TSH receptor in autonomously functioning thyroid nodules.
Pathophysiology
Thyroid physiology:
- The tissue of the thyroid gland is composed mostly of thyroid follicles
- The follicles are made up of a central cavity filled with a sticky fluid called colloid. Surrounded by a wall of epithelial follicle cells, the colloid is the center of thyroid hormone production, and that production is dependent on the hormones’ essential and unique component: iodine.
- Thyroid is endocrine gland which synthase and secretes thyroid hormones in bloodstream directly.
- It is regulated by hypothalamus and pituitary gland.
- Thyroid hormones are of two biochemical structures. , triiodothyronine (T3), which is true and potent form and its pro-hormone, thyroxine (T4) majorly is secretory form later converted to T3 in peripheral tissues by deiodinase enzyme.
- Thyroid hormones has negative feedback on thyroid receptors located on hypothalamus and pituitary gland.
- Thyroid hormones majorly effects every part of body and maintains metabolic rate by acting on thyroid receptors which are nuclear receptors mediating gene expression.
- Functional unit of thyroid gland is thyroid follicles, which are aliened in continuous circular form forming hallow cavity between them called thyroid cavity. On basal side of thyroid follicle is connective tissue containing blood vessels for transport of thyroid hormone and blood cells and iodine. Apical side of thyroid follicle faces toward thyroid cavity where it has TPO enzymes located, which help in conversion of iodide to iodine. Iodine is organified to tyrosine residue of thyroglobin, which is synthesized and stored in thyroid follicle cavity. It forms mono-idodo or di-iodo thyroglobin and then they combine to form tri-iodo or trata-iodo thyroglobin. On demand of body thyroglobin goes in proteolysis and release T3,T4 in blood stream across thyroid follicle.
- At high magnification the cell surface lining the follicle is rich in microvilli that project into the follicular lumen where the colloid is secreted; hormones are secreted into the blood at the opposite basal cell pole adjoining the rich capillary net.
- TSH is heterodimeric cystine-knot glycoproteins consisting a unique β-subunit, which provides biological specificity to TSH receptor and secreted by the basophilic thyrotropes in anteroir pitutary gland.
- TSH receptor (TSH-R) which is found on basolateral surface of thyroid follecular cells, belongs to a rhodopsin/β-adrenergic receptor family in the seven-transmembrane domain, GPCR superfamily.[1]
- TSH-R plays important role in thyroid gland function and growth.[2]
