The oncogene BRAFV600E is the most frequent genetic event in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) but its prognostic impact still remains to be elucidated. We evaluated a representative series of 67 individuals with PTC who underwent total thyroidectomy. BRAF-positive tumours correlated with early recurrences (32% vs 7.6%; P=0.02) during a median postoperative follow-up period of 3 years. Interestingly, within the recurrences, a significant majority had negative radioiodine (131I) total body scans, predicting a poorer outcome as treatment with 131I is not effective. This last observation led us to investigate the role of BRAFV600E and the MEK-ERK pathway in thyroid dedifferentiation, particularly in Na+/I− symporter (NIS) impairment, as this thyroid-specific plasma membrane glycoprotein mediates active transport of I− into the thyroid follicular cells. A subset of 60 PTC samples was evaluated for NIS immunoreactivity and, accordingly, we confirmed a significant low NIS expression and impaired targeting to membranes in BRAF-positive samples (3.5% vs 30%; P=0.005). Furthermore, experiments with differentiated PCCl3 thyroid cells demonstrated that transient expression of BRAFV600E sharply impaired both NIS expression and targeting to membrane and, surprisingly, this impairment was not totally dependent on the MEK-ERK pathway. We have concluded that BRAFV600E is a new prognostic factor in PTC that correlates with a high risk of recurrences and less differentiated tumours due to the loss of NIS-mediated 131I uptake.

Abstract The tumor suppressor LKB1 (STK11) is a cytoplasmic/nuclear serine/threonine kinase, defects in which cause Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) in humans and animals. Recent studies showed that loss of function of LKB1 is associated with sporadic forms of lung, pancreatic, and ovarian cancer. In cancer cells, LKB1 is inactivated by two mechanisms: mutations in its central kinase domain or complete loss of LKB1 expression. Inactivation of LKB1 is associated with progression of PJS and transformation of benign polyps into malignant tumors. This study examines the effect of LKB1 on regulation of STAT3 and expression of transcriptional targets of STAT3. The results show that LKB1 inhibits rearranged in transformation (RET)/papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC)-dependent activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), which is mediated by phosphorylation of STAT3 tyrosine 705 by RET/PTC. Suppression of STAT3 transactivation by LKB1 requires the kinase domain but not the kinase activity of LKB1. The centrally located kinase domain of LKB1 is an approximately 260-amino-acid region that binds to the linker domain of STAT3. Chromatin immunoprecipitation studies indicate that expression of LKB1 reduces the binding of STAT3 to its target promoters and suppresses STAT3-mediated expression of Cyclin D1, VEGF, and Bcl-xL. Knockdown of LKB1 by specific small interfering RNA led to an increase in STAT3 transactivation activity and promoted cell proliferation in the presence of RET/PTC. Thus, this study suggests that LKB1 suppresses tumor growth by inhibiting RET/PTC-dependent activation of oncogenic STAT3.
