Rapamycin improves Graves’ orbitopathy by suppressing CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes

Abstract: CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) were recently implicated in immune-mediated inflammation and fibrosis progression of Graves' orbitopathy (GO). However, little is known about therapeutic targeting CD4+ CTLs. Herein, we studied the effect of rapamycin, an approved mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1(mTORC1) inhibitor, in GO mouse model, in vitro and in refractory GO patients. In the adenovirus-induced model, rapamycin significantly decreased the incidence of GO. This was accompanied by reduction of both … Show more

“…In zwei Studien mit geringer Patientenzahl wurde ein sehr guter antiproliferativer Effekt (Besserung von Motilität und Exophthalmus) für Sirulimus nachgewiesen [73,74]. Aufgrund der geringen Kosten für diese Therapie ist dies eine sehr interessante "off-label" Therapieoption.…”
