【 摘 要 】

Introduction: Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is characterized by anti-thyroid antibodies such as the anti-thyroglobulin (Tg) antibody and anti-thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibody, is one of the autoimmune diseases associated with psychiatric illnesses. We previously reported a high prevalence of antibodies to N-terminals of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) type glutamate receptor (GluR) subunits (GluN1-NT and GluN2B-NT2) among psychiatric patients with anti-thyroid antibodies. However, it remains unclear whether the presence of anti-thyroid antibodies influences antibodies to GluN1-NT or GluN2B-NT2 among psychiatric patients. The present study aims to examine antibodies to GluN1-NT and GluN2B-NT2 in psychiatric patients with anti-thyroid antibodies (PPATs) and in those without (non-PPATs). Material and methods: We recruited psychiatric inpatients aged 20–60 years. Patients were excluded if they had a history of neurological diseases, dementia, developmental disorders, tumors, or autoimmune diseases except autoimmune thyroiditis. The rest of the participants were divided into two groups according to the presence of serum anti-Tg and anti-TPO antibodies. We investigated serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) antibodies to GluN1-NT and GluN2B-NT2 using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: We initially recruited seventy-three psychiatric inpatients. Forty-six patients were excluded because of the exclusion criteria. Eighteen PPATs and nine non-PPATs were ultimately enrolled. We also collected stored sera of eighteen healthy controls (HCs) who were age- and sex-matched with PPATs. The optical densities (ODs) of serum antibodies to GluN1-NT (p = 0.0020) and GluN2B-NT2 (p = 0.039) were significantly higher in PPATs than in HCs. The ODs of CSF antibodies to GluN1-NT (p = 0.030) and GluN2B-NT2 (p = 0.017) as well as the positive ratios of those antibodies were significantly higher in PPATs than in non-PPATs. Conclusion: Our finding indicates that detecting anti-thyroid antibodies in psychiatric patients would be a clue to consider psychiatric conditions related to antibodies to GluN1-NT/GluN2B-NT2. Further studies focusing on the relationship between PPATs and antibodies to GluN1-NT/GluN2B-NT2 are needed.
