AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates how amitrole may cause thyroid tumors in a specific cell line (Nthy-ori-3-1) using microarray analysis.
  • Amitrole treatment did not significantly affect cell proliferation, but it significantly altered the expression of 90 genes, with 55 up-regulated and 35 down-regulated.
  • Key genes identified, including bmp2, arnt2, and wnt5b, may contribute to tumor development through various signaling pathways.

Article Abstract

Objective: To explore the possible mechanism of amitrole causing thyroid tumor in Nthy-ori-3-1 cell by differential expression microarray analysis.

Methods: After the Nthy-ori-3-1cells were treated with 1 ~ 100 g / m L amitrole for 24 h, and the effect of amitrole on the proliferation of the cells was detected by MTT assay. Then cells were treated with 100 g / m L amitrole for 24 h, and the differential expression microarray was tested. The microarray results was analyzed by GO analysis and pathway analysis. The microarray results were verified by real-time quantitative PCR.

Results: MTT results showed that amitole had no significant effect on the proliferation of Nthy-ori-3-1 cells. Microarray results showed that 90( 55 up-regulated, 35 down regulated) genes were significantly changed. GO analysis showed that 43( 37 up-regulated, 6 down-regulated) of the 90 changed genes were related to biological processes, and 42( 37 up-regulated, 5down-regulated) were related to molecular function, and 44( 38 up-regulated, 6 downregulated) were related to cell components. Pathway results showed that 44 signalingpathways were influenced by the differentially expressed genes, and 10 of them were closely related to tumor. The qRT-PCR results were consistent with microarray results. wnt5 b, arnt2 and bmp2 genes were significantly related with multiple tumor-associated pathways.

Conclusion: Amitrole may cause thyroid tumor by multiple signaling pathways, and bmp2, arnt2 and wnt5 b may beits major target genes.

Background: Collagenases, a subgroup of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), play crucial roles in local invasion and metastasis in cancer. While substrate zymography and in situ zymography are commonly used to analyze the collagenases, traditional techniques have limitations in determining their local activities in vitro.

Objectives: We aimed to develop a new "cell in situ collagen zymography" technique to enhance the efficiency of studying local collagenase activities in vitro.

Background: Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a rare but the most aggressive type of thyroid carcinoma. Nevertheless, limited advances were made to reduce mortality and improve survival over the last decades. Therefore, identifying novel diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for ATC patients is still needed.

Article Synopsis
  • Gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) is a significant precursor to gastric cancer, and the traditional Chinese medicine Huangqi Jianzhong decoction (HQJZ) shows promise for treating patients with cold intolerance, though the underlying mechanisms are unclear.
  • The study aimed to understand how HQJZ affects GIM through the gut microbiota‒thyroid axis using a rat model, assessing tissue lesions and serum metabolites.
  • Results revealed that HQJZ improved gastric and thyroid conditions, enhanced cold tolerance, increased beneficial gut bacteria, and reduced harmful metabolites, indicating its potential therapeutic mechanisms involving butyric acid.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the role of TRAb in the angiogenesis associated with Graves' disease (GD) and to elucidate its underlying mechanisms.

Methods: Human thyroid follicular epithelial cells (Nthy-ori 3-1) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated with the monoclonal thyroid-stimulating antibody M22 and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) at various concentrations. Cell viability, migration, and tube formation were evaluated using CCK-8, wound healing, and tube formation assays, respectively.
