Exosomes expressing thyrotropin receptor ameliorate autoantibody-mediated stimulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate production.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that exosomes expressing TSHR may be secreted from normal and cancerous thyroid cells. In thyroid gland of patients with GD, TSHR exosomes may exert a decoy effect by sequestering autoantibody, thereby ameliorating autoantibody-mediated activation of thyroid function.
