ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the expression and clinical significance of miR-143 in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) .Methods:Tumor samples and adjacent tissues from 52 patients with PTC were obtained from Jan. 1st, 2018 to Mar. 31st, 2018 in Thyroid Surgery Department of the Affiliated Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital of Qingdao University. Quantitative reverse-transcriptase PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to measure the expression of miR-143 in those subjects. In addition, the relationship between the expression levels of miR-143 and the clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed.Results:RT-qPCR indicated that the expression of miR-143 was down-regulated in PTC, which was significantly lower than that in adjacent tissues ( t=-21.39, 95% CI: 18.20-15.07, P<0.001) . Low expression of miR-143 was related to the number of lymph node metastasis ≥3 in central compartment ( t=10.13, P=0.012) and lateral neck lymph node metastasis ( t=-4.67, P<0.001) . Conclusion:Downregulation of miR-143 in PTC is linked to the metastasis of PTC and may be a potential target for therapeutic intervention.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the clinical significance of recurrent laryngeal nerve inlet zone(RLNIZ) lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid cancer(PTC).Methods:The clinical data of the clinicopathologic characteristics of 738 cases with papillary thyroid cancer at our centers from Jul 2017 to Jun 2018 was retrospectively reviewed. 108 cases with RLNIZ lymph node dissection for pathological examination were included. The relationship between metastasis of RLNIZ lymph node and clinicopathologic characteristics was analyzed.Results:RLNIZ lymph node was detected in 12.3%(91/738)cases, the mean lymph node number in RLNIZ was 1.5±0.7, and 30.8%(28/91) cases suffered RLNIZ lymph node metastasis. RLNIZ lymph node metastasis(LNM) is associated with tumor size( P=0.028), capsular invasion( P=0.019), No. of central compartment LNM( P<0.001) and lateral neck LNM( P<0.001). No. of central compartment LNM was found to be the independent risk factor of RLNIZ lymph node metastasis. The incidence of dysphagia and inferior parathyroid damage was 0.9%(1/108)respectively. Conclusions:RLNIZ lymph node metastasis is common among PTC patients , therefore, RLNIZ lymph node should be routinely removed especially in patients with tumor size over 1cm、suspected capsular invasion and lateral neck lymph node metastasis confirmed by preoperative imaging examination.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To explore the clinical significance of metastasis of lymph nodes between sternocleidomastoid and sternohyoid muscle (LNSS) in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC).@*Methods@#A total of 175 patients with PTC who underwent thyroidectomy with LNSS dissection were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to determine the independent risk factors for LNSS metastasis in PTC.@*Results@#The rate of detectable LNSS was 70.9% (124/175) and metastasis rate was 7.4% (13/175). Of 13 cases with LNSS metastasis, 10 with the coexistence of cervical lymph node metastasis. Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that multiple focal cancer, tumor located in the lower pole of thyroid, belt-shaped muscle invasion, lateral cervical lymph node metastasis, cN+ , the number of cervical lymph nodes with metastasis and the number of lymph nodes with metastasis in level Ⅳwere the risk factors for LNSS metastasis (P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis suggested that tumor located in the lower pole of thyroid and the number of cervical lymph nodes with metastasis >6 were the independent risk factors for LNSS metastasis (P<0.05). Given the number of cervical lymph nodes with metastasis as a predictor for the LNSS metastasis, the sensitivity was 92.3%, the specificity was 66.7% and the accuracy rate was 68.6%.@*Conclusions@#LNSS metastasis is commom in PTC, with a metastasis rate of 7.4%. PTC in the lower pole of thyroid and the number of cervical lymph nodes with metastasis > 6 are independent risks for LNSS metastasis.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effect and related mechanism of celecoxib on tumor necrosis factorrelated apoptosis-inducing ligand(TRAIL) induced apoptosis of medullary thyroid cancer TT cell line.Methods MTT assay was used to measure the growth inhibition induced by TRAIL and celecoxib alone and their combination.TT cell cycle distribution was analyzed by flowcytometry.Hochest33258 staining and DNA ladder was used to detect the apoptosis of drug combination on TT cells.Western blot was used detect the protein change of cyclin A,Cdk2,caspase-8,c-FLIP,and RIP.Results ①MTT showed the growth inhibition ratio of TT cell intervened by the combination of TRAIL and celecoxib was 47.53% ± 1.34%,which was much higher than that intervened by TRAIL(7.75 % ± 3.84%)and celecoxib alone.The differences had statistical significance (t test,F =5.234,P <0.01);②PI detection found the cells' number in G0/G1 phase in celecoxib group and combination group were increased compared to that in control group and TRAIL group(F =242.694,P < 0.01);③Western blot indicated the expression of Cyclin A and Cdk2 were down regulated,there was no statistic significance;④ The apoptosis morph in nuclus was detected by Hochest33258 staining and showed the karyopycnosis and muclear fragmentation were increased in combination group with the apoptosis rate 24.23% ± 2.91%,which was much higher than that in TRAIL(5.86% ± 1.41%) and celecoxib(20% ± 1.24%) (t test,F =1.824,P <0.01),the difference has statistic significance;⑤Western blot illustrated the active schizolysis of casplase-8 was higher and the expression of c-FLIP and RIP was down regulated in combination group.Conclusion celecoxib plays a positive effect on TRAIL-reduced apoptosis of medullary thyroid cancer TT cell line,which may due to the cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase,down-regulation of c-FLIP and RIP and subsequent activation of caspase-8.

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the level of autophagy induced by TRAIL in TT cell line and identify the role of autophagy in TRAIL-inducing apoptosis of TT cell line.Methods The growth inhibition of TT cells was measured by MTT assay.MDC staining was used to identify the happening of autophagy.Annexin V/PI double staining was used to analyze the apoptosis rate of TT cells by flowcytometry.The protein expression of caspase-8 and Beclin1 was detected by Western blot.Results ① The growth inhibition ratio of TT cells induced by TRAIL at the concentration of 250,500,1000 and 2000 ng/ml was (3.02 ± 1.82)%,(4.87 ± 1.45)%,(7.51 ± 1.57) %,(12.76 ± 3.23) % respectively,which suggested significant resistance of TT cells to TRAIL.② MDC-labeled green light vesicles was significantly increased after the treatment of TRAIL for 48 h.③ The apoptosis rate of TT cells induced by TRAIL at the concentration of 500 ng/ml and 1000 ng/ml after the pretreat ment of 3-MA for 4 h was(17.83 ± 1.54) % and(27.81 ± 1.79) % respectively,which was significantly higher than the apoptosis rate induced by TRAIL(3.70 ± 0.34) %,(6.55 ± 0.59) % alone and that induced by 3-MA(7.71 ± 0.64) % (t =3.282,P < 0.05 ; t =7.830,P < 0.01).④ The combination treatment of TRAIL and 3-MA increased the cleavage of caspase-8 and down-regulated the expression of Beclin 1.Conclusion Autophagy induced by TRAIL may contributes to the resistance of TT cells to TRAIL,which can be reversed by the inhibition of autophagy.
