Autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) may impair radioiodine (131I) uptake in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Finding the mechanisms that govern immune cells during 131I therapy of PTC with concomitant AIT (PTC + AIT) could provide a rationale. Our study aimed to evaluate the effects of 131I on anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and its tissue inhibitor TIMP-1 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and its receptors TNFR1 and TNFR2, in PTC and PTC + AIT patients. Peripheral blood was collected from 56 femal
