Research Article: Role of the suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 in the pathogenesis of Graves’ orbitopathy
Introduction:
Objective: Graves’ orbitopathy (GO) is characterized by increased production of proinflammatory cytokines and hyaluronic acid by fibroblasts and their differentiation into adipocytes in response to immunologic stimuli. The suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS3) is an inducible negative regulator of the JAK/STAT pathway, implicated in various inflammatory diseases. In this study, we investigated the role of SOCS3 in the inflammatory and adipogenic pathogenesis of GO.
