Abstract

Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is an autoimmune eye disease that affects visual function and appearance, involving pathological remodeling processes of orbital tissue such as inflammatory reaction, oxidative stress, lipogenesis, and fibrosis. Current clinical first-line treatment options cannot be effective for all patients. This article summarizes the research on potential therapeutic targets of TAO at home and abroad in recent years, including receptor protein targets, immune cell targets, fat suppression targets, anti-fibrosis targets, transcription factor targets, and metabolic regulatory enzyme targets. Both non-natural compounds and natural compounds are introduced, with a view to providing clinical researchers with reference and ideas in the treatment of TAO and promoting the clinical application of new therapeutic drugs.

甲状腺相关眼病(TAO)是一种影响视功能和容貌的自身免疫性眼病,包括炎性反应、氧化应激、脂肪生成、纤维化等眼眶组织病理性重塑过程。目前临床一线治疗方案并不能对所有患者产生疗效。本文针对近年国内外关于TAO潜在治疗靶点的研究进行总结,包括受体蛋白靶点、免疫细胞靶点、脂肪抑制靶点、抗纤维化靶点、转录因子靶点、代谢调节酶靶点,涉及非天然化合物和天然化合物,以期为临床科研工作者在TAO治疗研究方向方面提供借鉴和思路,促进新型治疗药物应用于临床。.
