HHV-6A in vitro infection of thyrocytes and T cells alters the expression of miRNA associated to autoimmune thyroiditis
11 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human herpesviruses have been hypothesized as environmental triggers in the development of autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD), and in particular active human herpesvirus 6A (HHV-6A) infection was detected in thyrocytes of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) patients, who also show specific anti-viral immune responses. On the other hand, AITD patients display modulation of specific miRNAs in thyroid tissue...
