The TSH receptor (TSHR) on orbital fibroblasts (OF) is a proposed target of the autoimmune attack in Graves' ophthalmopathy. In the present study, we tested whether the novel low-molecular-weight (LMW) TSHR antagonist Org-274179-0 inhibits cAMP production induced by rhTSH, Graves' disease IgG (GD-IgG), or M22 (a potent human monoclonal TSHR stimulating antibody) in cultured and differentiated OF from Graves' ophthalmopathy patients. cAMP production significantly increased after incubation either with 10 mU/ml rhTSH (3-fold; P ≤ 0.05), 1 mg/ml GD-IgG (2-fold; P ≤ 0.05), or 500 ng/ml M22 (5-fold; P ≤ 0.05). Incubation with the LMW TSHR antagonist dose dependently inhibited rhTSH, GD-IgG as well as the M22-induced cAMP production at nanomolar concentrations; complete blockade was affected at 10(-6) M. Our results suggest that GD-IgG- and M22-induced cAMP production in differentiated OF is exclusively mediated via the TSHR because it can be completely blocked by the LMW TSHR antagonist, Org 274179-0.
