    • In order to ascertain whether methimazole, a drug commonly used for the treatment of hyperthyroidism, interferes with the progression of autoimmune-mediated myocardial injury, we investigated the effect of methimazole on experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) in rats. EAM was induced by immunization with porcine cardiac myosin. Methimazole administration markedly slowed the body weight growth in both normal and EAM rats, but did not induce morphologic change of cardiac tissue in normal rats. In EAM rats, macroscopic examination revealed discoloration of the cardiac surface, and histopathological examination by light microscopy showed extensive myocardial necrosis, infiltration by inflammatory cells and myocardial fibrosis. In the EAM rats treated with methimazole, the discolored areas on the cardiac surface were markedly diminished in size, and the myocardial necrosis, cellular infiltration and fibrosis were significantly less severe. To identify the mechanism responsible of this effect, we investigated the change of regulatory lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood using an immunofluorescence technique with a flow cytometer. A decrease in the helper/suppressor T cell ratio as a result of the increased proportion of suppressor T cells and a decrease in the proportion of B cells were observed in normal rats after methimazole administration, and similar findings were made in the EAM rats treated with methimazole. These results indicate that methimazole interferes with the progression of EAM, and immunosuppression may, at least in part, be involved in the inhibitory effect of methimazole on EAM in rats.
