The specific relationship between the endocrine and immune systems is represented by a numerous number of factors and mechanisms that form the structure and ensure the function of each of the two systems. For example, immunocompetent cells can produce immunologically active substances, as well as some hormones. On the other hand, immune cells are available to the effects of endogenous hormones. Currently, the so-called cross-regulation of endocrine and immune mechanisms in an equilibrium of pro-and anti-inflammatory responses has not been sufficiently studied. Among other autoimmune lesions, autoimmune thyreopathy occupies a significant place. The development of an autoimmune lesion of the thyroid gland is a complex process, which is the result of the interaction of infiltrating lymphocyte and thyrocyte tissue that can express a wide range of molecules involved in the immune response. Immunological and immunogenetic factors play a major role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune thyroid diseases, such as autoimmune thyroiditis and Graves disease. Despite the fact that more than 100 years have passed since the first description of autoimmune thyroiditis and Graves disease has been known for many centuries, the mechanisms of these pathologies are still not fully understood.

We determined the levels of TSH, free T4 (fT4), immunoregulatory proteins (alpha-2-macroglobulin (α2-MG), lactoferrin (LF), alpha-1-antitripsin (α1-AT) , and cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-6, IFN-gamma)) in the blood of 50 women presenting with diffuse toxic goiter (DTG) and 35 women with autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) before and 4-6 months after the treatment. Thirty healthy women served as controls. Hypothyroidism in the outcome of AIT was associated with hypercytokinemia and the enhanced levels of a2-MG and LF, but not a1-AT. The treatment had no effect on these parameters but normalized the TSH and T4 levels. Manifest DTG was associated with the increased IFN-gamma, IL-6, α2-MG, LF, and α1-AT levels . The treatment during 4-6 months resulted in the reduction of the IL-6 and α2-MG levels whereas the hormonal status of the patients became normal. The persistence of certain disturbances suggested that dysfunction of the immune system was not totally corrected despite the normalization of the hormonal status and could be interpreted as the risk factor of a relapse of thyroid pathology.
