桥本氏甲状腺炎合并甲状腺癌的研究进展

桥本氏甲状腺炎(Hashimoto”s thyroiditis,HT)又称慢性淋巴细胞性甲状腺炎,是一种比较常见的自身免疫性疾病.甲状腺癌是较常见的恶性肿瘤,其中以乳头状癌(papillary thyroid carcinoma,PTC)最为常见.近年来桥本氏甲状腺炎合并甲状腺癌的发病率呈上升趋势.甲状腺癌通常伴随着炎症细胞的浸润,包括淋巴细胞、巨噬细胞、肥大细胞等,但这些细胞在癌症发生中的作用及发挥作用的机制并不完全清楚.然而,大部分实验表明这些细胞有促肿瘤发生的作用.此外,甲状腺乳头状癌患者表达的RET/PTC、RAS、BRAF等癌基因都可以导致甲状腺细胞发生炎症反应.这些证明炎性分子可以作为甲状腺癌治疗的潜在靶点.在本篇综述将集中在甲状腺炎和甲状腺癌的流行病学特点、二者之间的因果关系以及RET/PCT基因和癌基因蛋白信号肽等目前获得较多承认的发病机制理论进行论述.

mRNA Expression in Papillary and Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma: Molecular Anatomy of a Killing Switch

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is the most lethal form of thyroid neoplasia and represents the end stage of thyroid tumor progression. No effective treatment exists so far. ATC frequently derive from papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC), which have a good prognosis. In this study, we analyzed the mRNA expression profiles of 59 thyroid tumors (11 ATC and 48 PTC) by microarrays. ATC and PTC showed largely overlapping mRNA expression profiles with most genes regulated in all ATC being also regulated in several PTC. 43% of the probes regulated in all the PTC are similarly regulated in all ATC. Many genes modulations observed in PTC are amplified in ATC. This illustrates the fact that ATC mostly derived from PTC. A molecular signature of aggressiveness composed of 9 genes clearly separates the two tumors. Moreover, this study demonstrates gene regulations corresponding to the ATC or PTC phenotypes like inflammatory reaction, epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and invasion, high proliferation rate, dedifferentiation, calcification and fibrosis processes, high glucose metabolism and glycolysis, lactate generation and chemoresistance. The main qualitative differences between the two tumor types bear on the much stronger EMT, dedifferentiation and glycolytic phenotypes showed by the ATC.

ret/PtC1 and ret/PTC3r1 rearrangement in thyroid cancer cells, arising in residents of Belorus in the period after the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant

After the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, a considerable increase in the incidence of thyroid cancer among children in Belarus was observed. In the present study, the frequency of the c-ret protooncogene rearrangements in samples of thyroid carcinomas resected and diagnosed in 1998 from individuals in Belarus was investigated. The ret/PTC1 oncogene was detected in 19% of the samples, and the ret/PTC3r1 oncogene, in 14%. The number of ret/PTC1 rearrangements observed in tumor cells from the patients whose age at the time of the accident was from 1 to 10 years, was greater compared to those whose age at the time was from 10 to 20 years, irrespective of the year of surgery (1996 or 1998). The majority of the patients with ret/PTC3r1 rearrangements lived in Gomel oblast, which was contaminated by the Chernobyl meltdown.     

Genome-wide expression analysis suggests a crucial role of dysregulation of matrix metalloproteinases pathway in undifferentiated thyroid carcinoma

Background

Thyroid cancer (TC) is the most common malignant cancer of the Endocrine System. Histologically, there are three main subtypes of TC: follicular, papillary and anaplastic. Diagnosing a thyroid tumor subtype with a high level of accuracy and confidence is still a difficult task because genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the transition from differentiated to undifferentiated thyroid tumors are not well understood.A genome-wide analysis of these three subtypes of thyroid carcinoma was carried out in order to identify significant differences in expression levels as well as enriched pathways for non-shared molecular and cellular features between subtypes.

Results

Inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases pathway is a major event involved in thyroid cancer progression and its dysregulation may result crucial for invasiveness, migration and metastasis. This pathway is drastically altered in ATC while in FTC and PTC, the most important pathways are related to DNA-repair activation or cell to cell signaling events.

Conclusion

A progression from FTC to PTC and then to ATC was detected and validated on two independent datasets. Moreover, PTX3, COLEC12 and PDGFRA genes were found as possible candidates for biomarkers of ATC while GPR110 could be tested to distinguish PTC over other tumor subtypes. The genome-wide analysis emphasizes the preponderance of pathway-dysregulation mechanisms over simple gene-malfunction as the main mechanism involved in the development of a cancer phenotype.

微小RNA-205 在甲状腺乳头状癌中的表达及临床意义

目的:观察微小RNA(microRNA,miRNA,miR)-205在甲状腺乳头状癌(PTC)中的表达并探讨其临床意义。方法:收集自2014年1月至2014年12月在我院甲状腺外科住院治疗的甲状腺乳头状癌患者的术后新鲜病理组织45例,其中男14例,女31例,年龄24-69岁,平均45.5岁。结节性甲状腺肿28例,癌旁正常甲状腺组织5例。提取各组织中的miRNA,应用实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应(RT-q PCR)方法检测miR-205的表达情况。结果:甲状腺乳头状癌miR-205的表达量较非肿瘤组织(结节性甲状腺肿、癌旁组织)明显下调[(1.06±1.76)vs(3.19±4.88),P=0.038]。伴淋巴结转移的PTC组织中miR-205表达量明显低于无淋巴结转移的PTC组织[(1.21±1.80)vs(9.59±1.60),P=0.003]。miR-205的相对表达与PTC患者性别、年龄及浸润与否均无显著相关性,而肿瘤直径呈显著相关性。结论:miR-205在PTC中的表达异常下调,可能与PTC的发生、侵袭和转移有关。     

Altered expression of key players in vitamin D metabolism and signaling in malignant and benign thyroid tumors

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25(OH)(2)D(3)), the active form of vitamin D, mediates antitumor effects in various cancers. The expression of key players in vitamin D signaling in thyroid tumors was investigated. Vitamin D receptor (VDR) and CYP27B1 and CYP24A1 (respectively activating and catabolizing vitamin D) expression was studied (RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry) in normal thyroid, follicular adenoma (FA), differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) consisting of the papillary (PTC) and follicular (FTC) subtype, and anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC). VDR, CYP27B1, and CYP24A1 expression was increased in FA and DTC compared with normal thyroid. However, in PTC with lymph node metastasis, VDR and CYP24A1 were decreased compared with non-metastasized PTC. In ATC, VDR expression was often lost, whereas CYP27B1/CYP24A1 expression was comparable to DTC. Moreover, ATC with high Ki67 expression (>30%) or distant metastases at diagnosis was characterized by more negative VDR/CYP24A1/CYP27B1 staining. In conclusion, increased expression of key players involved in local 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) signaling was demonstrated in benign and differentiated malignant thyroid tumors, but a decrease was observed for local nodal and especially distant metastasis, suggesting a local antitumor response of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) in early cancer stages. These findings advocate further studies with 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) and analogs in persistent and recurrent iodine-refractory DTC.     

Multinucleated giant cells in fine needle aspirates. Can they help differentiate papillary thyroid cancer from benign nodular goiter?

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether multinucleated giant cells (MGCs) in fine needle aspirates can help differentiate papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) from benign nodular goiter (BNG). STUDY DESIGN: Specimens from 100 cases of PTC and 100 cases of BNG with surgical and pathologic proof were randomly retrieved. The morphologic characteristics and frequency distribution of the maximal size and number of MGC nuclei were analyzed. A retrospective review of medical records was also undertaken. RESULTS: MGCs were twice as frequent (40%) in PTC than in BNG (26%) (odds ratio = 1.90). Most MGCs in BNG tended to be smaller and ovoid, with foamy cytoplasm, and had fewer nuclei. No MGC in BNG was > 116 microns in diameter or had > 27 nuclei. In contrast, MGCs in PTC were more diverse in size, shape, cytoplasm and number of nuclei. No significant association was found between the presence or nature of MGCs and disease extent in PTC. CONCLUSION: The presence of large MGCs with dense cytoplasm in a thyroid nodule without clinical evidence of thyroiditis should prompt careful exclusion of associated PTC.
