The two major clinical manifestations of AITD are Graves\u2019 disease and Hashimoto\u2019s thyroiditis (HT). AITD is characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the thyroid gland, leading either to follicular cell damage, thyroid gland destruction, and development of hypothyroidism (in HT) or thyroid hyperplasia, induced by thyroid antibodies which activate thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) on thyrocytes, leading to hyperthyroidism. The aim of this review is to present up-to-date picture of the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie the pathology of AITD. Based on studies involving patients, animal AITD models, and thyroid cell lines, we discuss the key events leading to the loss of immune tolerance to thyroid autoantigens as well as the signaling cascades leading to the destruction of thyroid gland. Special focus is given on the interplay between the environmental and genetic factors, as well as ncRNAs and microbiome contributing to AITD development. In particular, we describe mechanistic models by which SNPs in genes involved in immune regulation and thyroid function, such as CD40, TSHR, FLT3, and PTPN22, underlie AITD predisposition. The clinical significance of novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers based on ncRNAs and microbiome composition is also underscored. Finally, we discuss the possible significance of probiotic supplementation on thyroid function in AITD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1530\/etj-21-0024","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,4]],"date-time":"2022-01-04T05:09:33Z","timestamp":1641272973000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-16","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":105,"title":["Cellular and molecular basis of thyroid autoimmunity"],"prefix":"10.1530","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Joanna","family":"Bogus\u0142awska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Postgraduate Medical Education, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marlena","family":"Godlewska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Postgraduate Medical Education, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ewa","family":"Gajda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Postgraduate Medical Education, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Agnieszka","family":"Piekie\u0142ko-Witkowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Postgraduate Medical Education, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"416","reference":[{"key":"bib1","series-title":"Endocrine Reviews","first-page":"59","article-title":"Breaking tolerance to thyroid antigens: changing concepts in thyroid autoimmunity","volume":"35","author":"Mclachlan","year":"2014","unstructured":"Mclachlan SMRapoport B.
