Monocytes/macrophages can be activated by the colony-stimulating factors (CSFs), granulocyte/macrophage CSF and macrophage CSF, and play a pivotal role in immune and inflammatory responses. We examined whether human thyrocytes can produce these CSFs. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) strongly up-regulated the gene and protein expression of the two CSFs. Interferon-gamma stimulated M-CSF expression but inversely suppressed GM-CSF expression in either basal or IL-1-stimulated condition. Thyrocytes prepared from Graves' thyroid tissues produced relatively larger amounts of GM-CSF in response to IL-1 and M-CSF in both basal and IL-1-stimulated conditions when compared to those obtained from normal and adenomatous goiter thyroid tissues. Thyrotropin attenuated M-CSF, but not GM-CSF, production. The present finding indicates that human thyrocytes themselves produce both GM-CSF and M-CSF, and thus may participate in immune and inflammatory responses through these CSFs production.

D013961 Thyroid Gland A highly vascularized endocrine gland consisting of two lobes joined by a thin band of tissue with one lobe on each side of the TRACHEA. It secretes THYROID HORMONES from the follicular cells and CALCITONIN from the parafollicular cells thereby regulating METABOLISM and CALCIUM level in blood, respectively.

D013972 Thyrotropin A glycoprotein hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Thyrotropin stimulates THYROID GLAND by increasing the iodide transport, synthesis and release of thyroid hormones (THYROXINE and TRIIODOTHYRONINE). Thyrotropin consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH; LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.

D016173 Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor A mononuclear phagocyte colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) synthesized by mesenchymal cells. The compound stimulates the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of hematopoietic cells of the monocyte-macrophage series. M-CSF is a disulfide-bonded glycoprotein dimer with a MW of 70 kDa. It binds to a specific high affinity receptor (RECEPTOR, MACROPHAGE COLONY-STIMULATING FACTOR).

D016178 Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor An acidic glycoprotein of MW 23 kDa with internal disulfide bonds. The protein is produced in response to a number of inflammatory mediators by mesenchymal cells present in the hemopoietic environment and at peripheral sites of inflammation. GM-CSF is able to stimulate the production of neutrophilic granulocytes, macrophages, and mixed granulocyte-macrophage colonies from bone marrow cells and can stimulate the formation of eosinophil colonies from fetal liver progenitor cells. GM-CSF can also stimulate some functional activities in mature granulocytes and macrophages.
