Abstract

Graves’ disease (GD) is a chronic autoimmune condition in which the anti-thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibodies (TRAb) activate the thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) located on thyrocytes, leading to excessive thyroid hormone production. TSHR is also expressed in extrathyroidal tissues, in particular, within the orbit. The serum levels of TRAb correlate with the severity and activity of thyroid orbitopathy (TO). TO is the most common extrathyroidal manifestation of GD. It is an autoimmune inflammation of orbital tissues, that is, extraocular muscles, orbital adipose tissue or a lacrimal gland. Increased orbital fibroblast and adipocyte proliferation, overproduction of glycosaminoglycans, as well as extraocular muscle oedema, result in increased orbital tissue volume and trigger the onset of TO symptoms. The pathophysiology of TO is complex and has not been fully unexplained to date. Orbital fibroblasts show expression of the TSHR, which is the main target of autoimmunity. It has been hypothesised that T-cell activation induced by orbital receptor stimulation by the target antibody results in orbital tissue infiltration, triggering a cascade of events which leads to the production of cytokines, growth factors and reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS cause damage to many components of the cell: the cell membrane through the peroxidation of lipids and proteins leading to a loss of their function and enzymatic activity. Oxidative stress leads to the activation of the antioxidant system, which operates through two mechanisms: enzymatic and non-enzymatic. Assessment of the concentration of oxidative stress markers and the concentration or activity of anti-oxidative system parameters enables the evaluation of oxidative stress severity, which in the future may be utilized to assess treatment efficacy and prognosis in patients with active OT.
