Small activating RNA upregulates NIS expression: promising potential for hepatocellular carcinoma endoradiotherapy

Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. Currently, the clinical strategies available for the treatment of HCC remain insufficient for the poor prognosis. Sodium/iodide symporter (NIS)-based radioiodine therapy is proposed as a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of HCC. However, it is difficult for HCC cells to trap iodine for the lower expression of NIS. Small activating RNA (saRNA) is a newly identified small double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) that can induc… Show more

“…Removal of TSH for 3 days reduced 131 I uptake by approximately 50%, indicating the TSH-dependent action of iodine uptake. On the other hand, Nthy-ori 3-1 cells, irrespective of the presence or absence of TSH, showed almost negligible 131 I uptake; these low levels of iodine uptake are likely nonspecific because the similarly low levels of 131 I uptake were also observed in 8505C and HepG2 cells, both of which have been shown not to express NIS [ 29 , 30 ].…”

“…This outcome indicates that considering all eight centrality indices explored in this study, several apoptosis-related proteins, including BCL2L1, CASP9, XIAP, CASP3, and PARP1, are important in the network. Apoptosis has been proposed as a mechanism of cell www.nature.com/scientificreports/ death after radioactive iodine uptake in thyroid 40 and non-thyroid [41][42][43][44] cancer cells. However, our results suggest that apoptosis-related proteins may have a notable role in regulating NIS expression.…”

“…Specifically, saRNA regulating cancer-related genes have reported decreased viability (55,69,105,145), inhibition of proliferation (16,156,158), invasion and/or migration of cancer cells (145,158). Alternatively, saRNA have been used to decrease resistance of cancer cells to treatment (70,157). In addition, following saRNA-mediated increase of Progesterone receptor (PR) (44), VEGF-A (34) or transcription factors (eg Krupple-like factor [KLF4] or Myc) (137,149), activation of downstream genes of the targeted gene product were also observed.…”
