Autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT), one of the most common autoimmune diseases among women of reproductive age, is closely associated with reproductive failure and other obstetric complications. However, effective clinical strategies for the management of pregnant women with AIT are limited. It has been shown that Prunella vulgaris (PV), a traditional herbal medicine, can ameliorate AIT and other common thyroid disorders. Therefore, using an experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT) rat model, we investigated the potential effects of PV on AIT-related pregnancy outcomes. According to the administered dose of PV, EAT rats were randomly divided into the untreated EAT and PV-treated EAT groups. We found that thyroid peroxidase antibody and thyroglobulin antibody serum levels and the inflammatory infiltration of the thyroid were reduced in all PV-treated groups. Increased splenic Tgfb1 mRNA levels and Treg cell proportions were associated with decreased Th1/Th17 cell proportions, and Ifng mRNA levels were reduced in rats that received low and medium doses of PV. Moreover, in the low-dose PV group, fetal development retardation and placental injuries were reversed. Overall, our findings indicated that PV could alleviate AIT and improve pregnancy outcomes in EAT rats by downregulating Th1/Th17 immune responses and inducing Treg cell proliferation.
