Ji Min Oh, Ramya Lakshmi Rajendran, Prakash Gangadaran, Chae Moon Hong, Byeong-Cheol Ahn
TL;DR
This study explores how sodium selenite can improve the effectiveness of radioactive iodine therapy in papillary thyroid cancer by increasing iodine uptake and reducing cancer cell survival.
Contribution
The novel finding is that sodium selenite enhances radioactive iodine avidity and mediates cytotoxicity in papillary thyroid cancer cells.
Findings
Sodium selenite upregulates sodium iodide symporter and thyroid-specific proteins, increasing radioactive iodine uptake.
Sodium selenite downregulates MAPK, PI3K–AKT, and GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling pathways in papillary thyroid cancer cells.
Sodium selenite increases radioactive iodine-mediated cytotoxicity in papillary thyroid cancer cells.
Abstract
Radioactive iodine therapy is a mainstay for recurrent and metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer. However, a substantial portion of differentiated thyroid cancer patients exhibits dedifferentiation status with a lack of sodium iodide symporter functionality and expression, as well as downregulated thyroid‐specific proteins and transcription factors. Eventually, this status is connected to the failure of radioactive iodine therapy with an overall poor prognosis. Selenium, an essential trace element, has antitumor, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and antiviral activities and is required for thyroid hormone synthesis and metabolism, and it was reported that sodium selenite induces radioactive iodine uptake in thyroid tissue in rats. However, the relationship between sodium selenite and differentiation markers in differentiated thyroid cancer remains unclear. We investigated whether…
