AbstractThe objective of this research was to check whether the apoptotic inhibitor sFas (soluble fibroblaste-assosiated cell surface) and the apoptotic inducer FasL (fibroblaste-assosiated cell surface ligand) are differentially present in two opposite phenotypes of autoimmune thyroid disorders (AITD) and nodular goiter (NG). However, in contrast to GD (Graves’ disease), decreased sFas in HT (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis) increased FasL, indicate destruction of thyrocytes. In cases of thyroid NG, sFas may provide a key protective signal that helps the cells to avoid ap­optosis in a hostile environment.

Keywords: Autoimmune thyroid disease, Fas ligand, soluble Fas, Graves’ disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, nodular goiter.
