1 19837722 Previous studies have shown that methimazole (MMI) reduces MHC class-I expression and inhibits interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma or IFNG as listed in the MGI Database)-induced expression of the MHC class-II genes in TECs.
2 19837722 In the present study, we show that in Fisher rat thyroid cell line 5 cells, the ability of MMI and its novel derivative phenylmethimazole (C10) to decrease MHC class-I promoter activity is similar to TSH/cAMP suppression of MHC class-I and TSH receptor genes, and involves a 39 bp silencer containing a cAMP response element (CRE)-like site.
3 19837722 Furthermore, we show that C10 decreases MHC class-I gene expression to a greater extent than MMI and at 10- to 50-fold lower concentrations.
4 19837722 C10 also reduces the IFN-gamma-induced increase in the expression of MHC class-I and MHC class-II genes more effectively than MMI.
5 19837722 These data support the conclusion that the immunosuppressive mechanism by which MMI and C10 inhibit MHC gene expression mimics 'normal' hormonal suppression by TSH/cAMP.
