The selenoenzyme type I iodothyronine deiodinase: a new tumor suppressor in ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT: The selenoenzyme type I iodothyronine deiodinase (DIO1) catalyzes removal of iodine atoms from thyroid hormones. Although DIO1 action is reported to be disturbed in several malignancies, no work has been conducted in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), the most lethal gynecologic cancer. We studied DIO1 expression in HGSOC patients [The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data and tumor tissues], human cell lines (ES-2 and Kuramochi), normal Chinese hamster ovarian cells (CHO-K1), and normal human fallopian tube cells (FT282 and FT109). To study its functional role, DIO1 was overexpressed, inhibited [by propylthiouracil (PTU)], or knocked down (KD), and cell count, proliferation, apoptosis, cell viability, and proteomics analysis were performed. Lower DIO1 levels were observed in HGSOC com
