Context: ZIC1 has been reported to be overexpressed and plays an oncogenic role in some brain tumors, whereas it is inactivated by promoter hypermethylation and acts as a tumor suppressor in gastric and colorectal cancers. However, until now, its biological role in thyroid cancer remains totally unknown. Objectives: The aim of this study is to explore the biological functions and related molecular mechanism of ZIC1 in thyroid carcinogenesis. Setting and Design: Quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to evaluate mRNA expression of investigated genes. Methylation-specific PCR was used to analyze promoter methylation of the ZIC1 gene. The functions of ectopic ZIC1 expression in thyroid cancer cells were determined by cell proliferation and colony formation, cell cycle and apoptosis, as well as cell migration and invasion assays. Results: ZIC1 was frequently down-regulated by promoter hypermethylation in both primary thyroid cancer tissues and thyroid cancer cell lines. Moreover, our data showed that ZIC1 hypermethylation was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis in patients with papillary thyroid cancer. Notably, restoration of ZIC1 expression in thyroid cancer cells dramatically inhibited cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion, and induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis by blocking the activities of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt and RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK (MAPK) pathways, and enhancing FOXO3a transcriptional activity. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that ZIC1 is frequently inactivated by promoter hypermethyaltion and functions as a tumor suppressor in thyroid cancer through modulating PI3K/Akt and MAPK signaling pathways and transcription factor FOXO3a.

Background/Aims: PI3KCA and mutant p53 are associated with tumorigenesis and the development of cancers. NVP-BKM120, a selective pan-PI3K inhibitor, exerts the antitumor activity by suppressing the PI3K signaling pathway. Prima-1Met, a low molecular weight compound, can rescue the gain-of-function of mutant p53 by restoring its transcriptional function. In this study, we investigated whether PI3K inhibition combined with mutant p53 reactivation could enhance the antitumor effect in thyroid cancer cells. Methods: The effects of BKM120 and Prima-1Met on the proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion of thyroid cancer cells were measured by MTT, colony formation, flow cytometry, wound-healing and transwell assays, respectively. Thyroid differentiation was assessed by detecting the expression levels of specific markers using RT-PCR and Western blot. The in vivo antitumor efficacy was analyzed in a mouse xenograft model. Results: The combinational treatment of BKM120 and Prima-1Met significantly enhanced the inhibitions of cell viability, colony formation, migration and invasion, and the induction of apoptosis in thyroid cell lines, and synergistically suppressed tumor xenograft growth by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR and EMT signaling pathways, up-regulating p53 targeted genes, and triggering the release of cytochrome c. Moreover, the combination of BKM120 and Prima-1Met suppressed the stemlike traits of thyroid cancer cells and promoted their differentiation by upregulating the expression of thyroid-specific differentiation markers and repressing the expression of cancer stem cell markers. Furthermore, the mechanism study demonstrated that the combinational treatment synergistically abrogated the binding of CPSF4 at the promoter of hTERT and thus suppressed hTERT expression. Consistently, overexpression of hTERT rescued the inhibitions of cell viability, invasion and stem-like traits mediated by the combination of BKM120 and Prima-1Met. Conclusion: Our results showed that the combination of BKM120 with Prima-1Met synergistically suppressed the growth of thyroid cancer cells and tumor xenografts via inhibiting PI3K/Akt/mTOR and CPSF4/hTERT signaling and reactivating mutant p53.

Abstract Background: Thyroid cancer is the most prevalent malignancy and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. Recent studies have revealed that microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in tumorigenesis in various cancer types by affecting the expression of its targets. However, the role of miR-32-5p in thyroid cancer remains limited. Methods: In this study, we attempt to explore the role of miR-32-5p in thyroid cancer and elucidate the underlying mechanism. Expression of miR-32-5p was determined by quantitative reverse transcription PCR. Functional assays were performed by CCK-8 assay, cell colony assay, cell apoptosis assay, cell migration and invasion assays, cell cycle assay and luciferase assay. Protein expression was analyzed by Western blot.Results: In the present study, the role of miR-32-5p in thyroid cancer was firstly explored. It is found that miR-32-5p was downregulated in thyroid cancer tissues and cells. Overexpression of miR-32-5p inhibited thyroid cancer cells proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial‐mesenchymal transition process; while suppression of miR-32-5p exhibited an opposite effect on thyroid cancer cells. In addition, In addition, a luciferase assay showed Twist1 was identified as a direct target of miR-32-5p in thyroid cancer, and further study showed that restoration of Twist1 attenuated the biological effect of miR-32-5p on thyroid cancer cells. Conclusion: In conclusion, our results demonstrated miR-32-5p functions as a tumor suppressor by targeting Twist1 in thyroid cancer, providing a novel insight into thyroid cancer therapy.

Proliferation And Invasion

The pathogenesis of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), the most common type of thyroid cancer, is not yet fully understood. This limits the therapeutic options for approximately 7% of invasive PTC patients. The critical role of AUF1 in the progression of thyroid cancer was first reported in 2009, however, its molecular mechanism remained unclear. Our study used CRISPR/Cas 9 system to knockdown AUF1 in IHH4 and TPC1 cells. We noticed that the expression of TRIM58 and ZBTB2 were increased in the AUF1 knockdown IHH4 and TPC1 cells. When TRIM58 and ZBTB2 were inhibited by small hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) against TRIM58 (shTRIM58) and ZBTB2 (shZBTB2), respectively, the proliferation, migration, and invasion ability of the AUF1-knockdown IHH4 and TPC1 cells were increased. In addition, two ZBTB2 binding sites (-719~-709 and -677~-668) on TRIM58 promoter and two AUF1 binding sites (1250-1256 and 1258-1265) on ZBTB2 3’-UTR were identified. These results suggested that AUF1 affecting thyroid cancer cells via regulating the expression of ZBTB2 and TRIM58.
