Thyroid cancer is the most abundant tumor of the endocrine organs. Poorly differentiated thyroid cancer is still difficult to treat. Human cells exposed to long-term real (r-) and simulated (s-) microgravity (µg) revealed morphological alterations and changes in the expression profile of genes involved in several biological processes. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of short-term µg on poorly differentiated follicular thyroid cancer cells (FTC-133 cell line) resulting from 6 min of exposure to µg on a sounding rocket flight. As sounding rocket flights consist of several flight phases with different acceleration forces, rigorous control experiments are mandatory. Hypergravity (hyper-g) experiments were performed at 18g on a centrifuge in simulation of the rocket launch and s-µg was simulated by a random positioning machine (RPM). qPCR analyses of selected genes revealed no remarkable expression changes in controls as well as in hyper-g samples taken at the end of the first minute of launch. Using a centrifuge initiating 18g for 1 min, however, presented moderate gene expression changes, which were significant for COL1A1, VCL, CFL1, PTK2, IL6, CXCL8 and MMP14. We also identified a network of mutual interactions of the investigated genes and proteins by employing in-silico analyses. Lastly, µg-samples indicated that microgravity is a stronger regulator of gene expression than hyper-g.

Abstract Context: Radioiodine ablation is commonly used to treat thyroid cancer, but a major challenge is often the loss of radioiodine avidity of the cancer caused by aberrant silencing of iodide-handling genes. Objectives: This study was conducted to test the therapeutic potential of targeting the aberrantly activated MAPK and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathways and histone deacetylase to restore radioiodine avidity in thyroid cancer cells. Experimental Design: We tested the effects of specific inhibitors targeting these pathways/molecules that had established clinical applicability, including the MAPK kinase inhibitor RDEA119, mTOR inhibitor temsirolimus, Akt inhibitor perifosine, and histone deacetylase inhibitor SAHA, individually or in combinations, on the expression of iodide-handling genes and radioiodide uptake in a large panel of thyroid cancer cell lines. Results: The expression of a large number of iodide-handling genes could be restored, particularly the sodium/iodide symporter, TSH receptor, and thyroperoxidase, by treating cells with these inhibitors. The effect was particularly robust and synergistic when combinations of inhibitors containing SAHA were used. Robust expression of sodium/iodide symporter in the cell membrane, which plays the most important role in iodide uptake in thyroid cells, was confirmed by immunofluorescent microscopy. Radioiodide uptake by cells was correspondingly induced under these conditions. Thyroid gene expression and radioiodide uptake could both be further enhanced by TSH. Conclusions: Targeting major signaling pathways could restore thyroid gene expression and radioiodide uptake in thyroid cancer cells. Further studies are warranted to test this therapeutic potential in restoring radioiodine avidity of thyroid cancer cells for effective ablation treatment.

Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have shown both anti-proliferative and redifferentiating effects in thyroid cancer cells. Also, they induce the expression of the sodium–iodide symporter gene (NIS(SLC5A5)), a crucial step for radioiodine treatment of thyroid malignancies. Here we investigated the effects of suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) and valproic acid (VPA) on BCPAP and FRO thyroid cancer cells, extending our analysis on the epigenetic mechanisms underlying theNISgene expression stimulation. In both cell lines we found a cooperative effect of the two compounds on either cell viability andNISgene expression, resulting in acquired/increased ability to uptake the radioiodine. Such effect was specific since it was not observed for expression of other genes or when SAHA was used in combination with trichostatin A. By using chromatin immunoprecipitation, we investigated epigenetic mechanisms underlying SAHA and VPA effects. Cooperation among the two HDACi occurred on H3 histone trimethylation at lysine 4 (H3K4me3) and not on histone acetylation. However, effects on H3K4me3 were detected only at the level of NIS Proximal Basal Promoter (NIS-PBP) in FRO cells and only at the level of NIS Upstream Enhancer (NIS-NUE) in BCPAP cells. Our data indicate that epigenetic changes are involved in the synergistic effects of VPA and SAHA onNISgene expression and that the cellular context modifies effects of HDACi in terms of H3K4me3 target sequence. Investigation of cooperation among different HDACi may provide clues for better defining their mechanism of action in view of their use in thyroid cancer treatment.
