Clinical relevance of thyroid dysfunction in human haematopoiesis: biochemical and molecular studies

Abstract

The following conclusions were derived: i) TR expression in human haematopoietic cells depends on TH status, ii) both hypo- and hyperthyroidism significantly influence clonogenicity and induce apoptosis in CD34(+)-enriched HPCs and iii) the molecular mechanism by which THs influence haematopoiesis might provide a basis for designing novel therapeutic interventions in thyroid diseases.
