Novel therapy strategies are crucial for thyroid carcinoma treatment. It is increasingly important to clarify the mechanism of thyroid carcinoma progression. Several studies demonstrate that α-Enolase (ENO1) participates in cancer development; nevertheless, the role of ENO1 in thyroid carcinoma progression remains unclear. In the present study, we found that the expression of ENO1 was upregulated in thyroid carcinoma samples. Proliferation and migration of thyroid carcinoma cells were suppressed by depletion of ENO1; conversely, ENO1 overexpression promoted thyroid carcinoma cell growth and invasion. To elucidate the mechanisms, we found that the hypoxia-related mTOR/HIF1 pathway regulated ENO1 expression. ENO1 regulated the expression of CST1; knockdown of CST1 reversed the tumorigenicity enhanced by ENO1 overexpression. Taken together, our findings provide a theoretical foundation for thyroid carcinoma treatment.

The RET receptor tyrosine kinase mediates cell proliferation, survival and migration in embryogenesis and is implicated in the transformation and tumour progression in multiple cancers. RET is frequently mutated and constitutively activated in familial and sporadic thyroid carcinomas. As a result of alternative splicing, RET is expressed as two protein isoforms, RET9 and RET51, which differ in their unique C-terminal amino acids. These isoforms have distinct intracellular trafficking and associated signalling complexes, but functional differences are not well defined. We used shRNA-mediated knockdown (KD) of individual RET isoforms or of total RET to evaluate their functional contributions in thyroid carcinoma cells. We showed that RET is required for cell survival in medullary (MTC) but not papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) cells. In PTC cells, RET depletion reduced cell migration and induced a flattened epithelial-like morphology. RET KD decreased the expression of mesenchymal markers and matrix metalloproteinases and reduced anoikis resistance and invasive potential. Further, we showed that RET51 depletion had significantly greater effects on each of these processes than RET9 depletion in both MTC and PTC cells. Finally, we showed that expression of RET, particularly RET51, was correlated with malignancy in a panel of human thyroid tumour tissues. Together, our data show that RET expression promotes a more mesenchymal phenotype with reduced cell–cell adhesion and increased invasiveness in PTC cell models, but is more important for tumour cell survival, proliferation and anoikis resistance in MTC models. Our data suggest that the RET51 isoform plays a more prominent role in mediating these processes compared to RET9.
