RESUMEN
Primary cilia (PC) are non-motile and microtube-based organelles protruding from the surface of almost all thyroid follicle cells. They maintain homeostasis in thyrocytes and loss of PC can result in diverse thyroid diseases. The dysfunction of structure and function of PC are found in many patients with common thyroid diseases. The alterations are associated with the cause, development, and recovery of the diseases and are regulated by PC-mediated signals. Restoring normal PC structure and function in thyrocytes is a promising therapeutic strategy to treat thyroid diseases. This review explores the function of PC in normal thyroid glands. It summarizes the pathology caused by PC alterations in thyroid cancer (TC), autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD), hypothyroidism, and thyroid nodules (TN) to provide comprehensive references for further study.

Background: Numerous clinical studies have shown that atopic dermatitis (AD) is often associated with mental disorders. This could contribute to the overall burden of atopic dermatitis. However, the underlying mechanism of mental health symptoms in AD has not been fully elucidated. Methods: An AD mouse was induced by 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB), which was repeatedly applied to the back skin of the BALB/C mice to establish an atopic dermatitis mental disorder model. The role of neuroinflammation in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis mental disorders was then explored. Results: After the stimulation of DNFB for 35 days, the skin lesions, the HE staining of skin lesions, and the behavioral experiments (including elevated plus maze assay and tail suspension test) suggested that the AD mental disorder mouse model was successfully replicated. The expression of neuroinflammatory factors in the hippocampus was then investigated through Western blotting. The results showed a significant increase in the protein expression of NLRP3, caspase-1, and IL-1ß. Conclusion: Mental disorders in AD might be related to the neuroinflammatory response in the hippocampus. An alternative yet essential approach to promoting AD recovery could be through reducing neuroinflammation and improving mental disorders.
