We performed an immunohistochemical analysis of TSH-receptor in normal and diseased human thyroid tissues using a monoclonal antibody (T3-356) against the C terminal region of human TSH receptor. In normal human thyroid tissues, a positive staining was observed exclusively along the basal cell surface of the flattened follicular cells. In the tissues from adenomatous nodules, adenomas, and papillary carcinomas, a positive staining was also found along the basal cell surface of the follicular cells. In addition, a considerable cytoplasmic staining was observed. The apical and lateral cell surfaces of the follicular cells showed no staining. The foci of squamous cell metaplasia of papillary carcinomas, anaplastic carcinoma, and medullary carcinoma did not show a positive staining. In Graves' thyroids, the positive staining was also observed along the basal cell surface of the follicular cells. The staining was obviously intense in the Graves' thyroids, and the most intense staining was noted in the foci of papillary projection of the columnar follicular cells. These findings indicate that TSH receptor is preserved essentially in the basal cell surface of the thyroid follicular cells in neoplastic conditions and that the amount of TSH receptor protein is increased in Graves' thyroid.

D011989 Receptors, Thyrotropin Cell surface proteins that bind pituitary THYROTROPIN (also named thyroid stimulating hormone or TSH) and trigger intracellular changes of the target cells. TSH receptors are present in the nervous system and on target cells in the thyroid gland. Autoantibodies to TSH receptors are implicated in thyroid diseases such as GRAVES DISEASE and Hashimoto disease (THYROIDITIS, AUTOIMMUNE).

D006111 Graves Disease A common form of hyperthyroidism with a diffuse hyperplastic GOITER. It is an autoimmune disorder that produces antibodies against the THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE RECEPTOR. These autoantibodies activate the TSH receptor, thereby stimulating the THYROID GLAND and hypersecretion of THYROID HORMONES. These autoantibodies can also affect the eyes (GRAVES OPHTHALMOPATHY) and the skin (Graves dermopathy).
