Knockdown of circ_NEK6 Decreased ¹³¹I Resistance of Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma via Regulating miR-370-3p/MYH9 Axis.

ABSTRACT: Radioresistance is a crucial factor for the failure of iodine 131 (¹³¹I)-based radiotherapy for differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). This study aimed to explore the effect of circ_NEK6 on the development of ¹³¹I resistance in DTC and its potential mechanism. In this study, we demonstrated that circ_NEK6 expression was significantly elevated in ¹³¹I-resistant DTC tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of circ_NEK6 significantly repressed ¹³¹I resistance via inhibiting cell proliferation, migration, invasion abilities, and inducing cell apoptosis and DNA damage in ¹³¹I-resistant DTC cells. Mechanistically, knockdown of circ_NEK6 suppressed ¹³¹I resistance in DTC by upregulating the inhibitory effect of miR-370-3p on the expression of myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9). In vivo experiments showed that circ_NEK6 inhibition aggravated ¹³¹I radiation-induced inhibition of xenograft tumor growth. Taken together, knockdown of circ_NEK6 repressed ¹³¹I resistance in DTC cells by regulating the miR-370-3p/MYH9 axis, indicating that circ_NEK6 may act as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for DTC patients with ¹³¹I resistance.

Project description:Few studies have addressed the mechanism by which circ_0010729 regulates hypoxia-induced cell injury in cardiovascular diseases. However, its role and its regulatory mechanism in myocardial infarction remain to be explored. Cell viability, cycle, apoptosis, and migration were analyzed using cell counting kit-8 assay, flow cytometry, caspase-3 activity assay kit and transwell assay, respectively. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentrations were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Glucose metabolism was calculated by detecting ATP production, glucose uptake and lactate production. Levels of circ_0010729, miR-370-3p and TNF Receptor Associated Factor 6 (TRAF6) were detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction or western blot. The direct interaction between circ_0010729 and TRAF6 or miR-370-3p was verified using dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay. Under hypoxia condition, cardiomyocytes suffered from cell viability suppression, cell cycle arrest, cell apoptosis promotion, migration reduction, increase of inflammatory factor IL-6 and TNF-α, as well as glycolysis inhibition. Circ_0010729 expression was up-regulated in the cardiomyocytes at different hypoxia-exposed time points. Circ_0010729 knockdown protected cardiomyocytes against hypoxic dysfunction, while circ_0010729 overexpression showed inverse effects. MiR-370-3p was confirmed to directly bind to circ_0010729 or TRAF6. MiR-370-3p inhibition attenuated the protective effects of circ_0010729 knockdown on hypoxia-modulated cardiomyocyte dysfunction. MiR-370-3p restoration protected cardiomyocytes against hypoxic injury via targeting TRAF6. Besides, circ_0010729 indirectly regulated TRAF6 expression via miR-370-3p. This study demonstrated that circ_0010729 knockdown attenuated hypoxia-induced cardiomyocyte dysfunction via miR-370-3p/TRAF6 axis, indicating a potential therapeutic target for myocardial infarction.

Project description:Patients with metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) may be prepared using either thyroid-stimulating hormone withdrawal (THW) or recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone (rhTSH) injections before 131I administration for treatment. The objective of this study was to compare the absorbed dose to the critical organs and tumors determined by 124I PET/CT-based dosimetry for 131I therapy of metastatic DTC when the same patient was prepared with and imaged after both THW and rhTSH injections. Methods: Four DTC patients at MedStar Washington Hospital Center were first prepared using the rhTSH method and imaged by 124I PET/CT at 2, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h after administration of approximately 30-63 MBq of 124I. After 5-8 wk, the same patients were prepared using the THW method and imaged as before. The 124I PET/CT images acquired as part of a prospective study were used to perform retrospective dosimetric calculations for 131I therapy for the normal organs with the dosimetry package 3D-RD. The absorbed doses from 131I for the lungs, liver, heart, kidneys, and bone marrow were obtained for each study (rhTSH and THW). Twenty-two lesions in 3 patients were identified. The contours were drawn on each PET image of each study. Time-integrated activity coefficients were calculated and used as input in OLINDA/EXM sphere dose calculator to obtain the absorbed dose to tumors. Results: The THW-to-rhTSH organ absorbed dose ratio averaged over 5 organs for the first 3 patients was 1.5, 2.5, and 0.64, respectively, and averaged over 3 organs for the fourth patient was 1.1. The absorbed dose per unit administered activity to the bone marrow was 0.13, 0.086, 0.33, and 0.068 mGy/MBq after rhTSH and 0.11, 0.14, 0.22, and 0.080 mGy/MBq after THW for each patient, respectively. With the exception of 3 lesions of 1 patient, the absorbed dose per unit administered activity of 131I was higher in the THW study than in the rhTSH study. The ratio of the average tumor absorbed dose after stimulation by THW compared with stimulation by rhTSH injections was 3.9, 27, and 1.4 for patient 1, patient 2, and patient 3, respectively. The ratio of mean tumor to bone marrow absorbed dose per unit administered activity of 131I, after THW and rhTSH, was 232 and 62 (patient 1), 12 and 0.78 (patient 2), and 22 and 11 (patient 3), respectively. Conclusion: The results suggest a high patient variability in the overall absorbed dose to the normal organs per MBq of 131I administered, between the 2 TSH stimulation methods. The tumor-to-dose-limiting-organ (bone marrow) absorbed dose ratio, that is, the therapeutic index, was higher in the THW-aided than rhTSH-aided administrations. Additional comparison for tumor and normal organ absorbed dose in patients prepared using both methods is needed before definitive conclusions may be drawn regarding rhTSH versus THW patient preparation methods for 131I therapy of metastatic DTC.

Project description:BackgroundWhether radioactive iodine (131I) treatments for differentiated thyroid cancer should be performed as an outpatient or inpatient remains controversial. The objective of this study was to survey selected aspects of radiation safety of patients treated with 131I for differentiated thyroid cancer as an outpatient.MethodsAn e-mail invitation was sent to over 15,000 members of ThyCa: Thyroid Cancer Survivors' Association, Inc. to complete a web-based survey on selected aspects of radiation safety regarding their last outpatient 131I treatment.ResultsA total of 1549 patients completed the survey. Forty-five percent (699/1541) of the respondents reported no discussion on the choice of an inpatient or outpatient treatment. Moreover, 5% (79/1541) of the respondents reported that their insurance company made the decision. Survey respondents recalled receiving oral and written radiation safety instructions 97% (1459/1504) and 93% (1351/1447) of the time, respectively. Nuclear medicine physicians delivered oral and written instructions to 54% (807/1504) and 41% (602/1462) of the respondents, respectively. Eighty-eight percent (1208/1370) of the respondents were discharged within 1 hour after receiving their 131I treatment, and 97% (1334/1373) traveled in their own car after being released from the treating facility. Immediately post-therapy, 94% (1398/1488) of the respondents stayed at their own home or a relative's home, while 5% (76/1488) resided in a public lodging. The specific recommendations received by patients about radiation precautions varied widely among the respondents. Ninety-nine percent (1451/1467) of the respondents believed they were compliant with the instructions.ConclusionThis is the largest, patient-based survey published regarding selected radiation safety aspects of outpatient 131I treatment. This survey suggests several concerns about radiation safety, such as the decision process regarding inpatient versus outpatient treatment, instructions about radiation safety, transportation, and lodging after radioiodine therapy. These concerns warrant further discussion, guidelines, and/or policies.
