Radiosensitization Following Valproic Acid and Gamma Rays in Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer Cells Increases the Expression of hsa-miR-26a-5p

ABSTRACT: Background: Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a rare lethal human malignancy with a poor prognosis. Multimodality treatment, including radiotherapy, is recommended to improve local control and survival. Valproic acid (VA) is a clinically available anticonvulsant and histone deacetylase inhibitor with a well-documented side effect profile. Furthermore, VA radiosensitizes various cancer cells, including thyroid cancer. MicroRNAs (miRs) are deregulated in several cancers and may modulate radiation response. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the effect of VA combined with gamma radiation in radioresistant ATC cells at the expression level of miRs. Methods: ATC cells (8505c and KTC-2) were VA-treated and gamma-irradiated (2 Gy). The expression profile of miRs in 8505c was evaluated by microarray analysis 4 h after irradiation. Selected miRs were validated by RT-qPCR in both types of ATC cells. Results: We observed that after combined VA and gamma irradiation treatment, 8505c cells showed 109 differentially expressed miRs as compared to irradiated cells alone. These miRs exhibited a radiosensitization profile highlighted by upregulation of hsa-miR-26a-5p, which is usually downregulated in aggressive thyroid cancers. Moreover, hsa-miR-27a-3p and hsa-miR-486-5p, which are often deregulated in thyroid neoplasms, were downregulated after irradiation and VA treatment, respectively. The expression level of these three miRs was validated in 8505c and KTC-2 cells after treatments. Conclusion: The regulated miRs by VA and gamma irradiation reveal a novel miR expression profile with potential to be further studied in the radio-induced response and radiosensitization of ATC cells.

Project description:This study represents the first attempt to perform a profiling analysis of the intergenerational differences in the microRNAs (miRNAs) of melanocytic neoplasms in young adult and older adult groups. Our comparative miRNA profiling provides a novel characterization of the miRnomes of melanocytic neoplasms and melanomas of different age groups and identifies a set of potential diagnostic and potential clinico-pathologic biomarkers that may serve as targets for development of novel miR-based modalities in cancer diagnosis and treatment. An exploratory miRNA analysis of 666 miRs was conducted on formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues from 10 adults and 10 young adults including conventional melanoma and melanocytic neoplasms of uncertain biological significance. Age-matched benign melanocytic nevi were used as controls. The comparative profiling was intentionally performed at two extremes of age, i.e., less than 30 years (Mel 30) and greater than 60 years (Mel 60). Primary melanoma in patients greater than 60 years old was characterized by the increased expression of miRs regulating TLR-MyD88-NF-kappaB pathway (hsa-miR -199a), RAS/RAB22A pathway (hsa-miR-204); growth differentiation and migration (hsa-miR337), epithelial mesenchymal transition EMT (let-7b, hsa-miR-10b/10bSTAR(*)), invasion and metastasis (hsa-miR-10b/10bSTAR(*), hsa-miR-30a/e*, hsa-miR-29c*; cellular matrix components (hsa-miR-29c*); invasion-cytokinesis (hsa-miR 99b*) compared to melanoma of younger patients. miR 211 was dramatically downregulated in primary melanoma compared to nevi controls, decreased with increasing age and was among the miRs linked to metastatic processes and potentially targeting the inflammatory receptor CCR10; Primary melanoma in young adult patients was characterized by the increased expression of hsa-miR-449a and decreased expression of hsa-miR146b, hsa-miR 214*. Among the miRs expressed at higher levels in control nevi, compared to adult or young adult melanoma, was hsa-miR 574-3p. Only 2 miRs distinguished adult from young adult-pediatric nevi, hsa-miR374a* and has-miR-566. MiR 30a* appeared to be a strong marker of differentiation in clinical stages I-II adult and pediatric melanoma, and could predict classification of melanoma tissue in the two age groups. Furthermore, lymph node status in the two age groups was characterized by the statistically significant expression of hsa-miR-30a* and hsa-miR-204 (F-test, p-value <0.001).

Project description:Laminin-5 gamma-2 (LAMC2) is highly expressed in anaplastic thyroid carcinoma and associated with tumor progression, migration and invasion by modulating signaling of EGFR LAMC2 was highly expressed in ATC samples and cell lines compared to normal thyroid tissues. Silencing LAMC2 by shRNA in ATC cells moderately inhibited cell growth in liquid culture and dramatically decreased growth in soft agar and in xenografts growing in immunodeficient mice. Silencing LAMC2 caused cell cycle arrest and significantly suppressed migration, invasion and wound healing of ATC cells. Rescue experiments by overexpressing LAMC2 in LAMC2 knockdown cells, reversed the inhibitory effects as shown by increased cell proliferation and colony formation. Microarray data demonstrated that LAMC2 shRNA significantly altered expression of genes associated with migration, invasion, proliferation and survival. Immunoprecipitation studies showed that LAMC2 was bound to EGFR in ATC cells. Silencing of LAMC2 partially blocked EGF-mediated activation of EGFR and its downstream pathway. Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is an aggressive malignancy having no effective treatment.

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma cell lines (HTH83 and TL3) were infected with scrambled shRNA and LAMC2 shRNA and stable clones from each cell line were generated and used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Illumina Microarray. We compared scrambled shRNA stable cells with LAMC2 shRNA stable cells.
