Serum CD5L as potential biomarker of thyroid hormone status during pregnancy.

ABSTRACT: The thyroid hormone (TH) status is routinely assessed by thyrotropin (TSH) and thyroxine (T4). Both biomarkers are mainly regulated by TH receptor beta, whereas many peripheral organs employ the alpha receptor. Serum cluster of differentiation 5-like molecule (CD5L) is a liver-derived protein under control of both TH receptor isoforms. However, clinical data on its relation to TH status are sparse. An additional biomarker of TH status is needed in particular during pregnancy, where the routine biomarkers become dynamically disturbed. This study aimed to determine possible covariates regulating serum CD5L and to test its potential suitability as additional TH biomarker during pregnancy. A sandwich ELISA for serum CD5L was established using newly raised antibodies. Circadian effects and the
