Abstract

Here, we show that the anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) features the up-regulation of a set of genes involved in the control of cell cycle progression and chromosome segregation. This phenotype differentiates ATC from normal tissue and from well-differentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma. Transcriptional promoters of the ATC up-regulated genes are characterized by a modular organization featuring binding sites for E2F and NF-Y transcription factors and cell cycle–dependent element (CDE)/cell cycle gene homology region (CHR) cis-regulatory elements. Two protein kinases involved in cell cycle regulation, namely, Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) and T cell tyrosine kinase (TTK), are part of the gene set that is up-regulated in ATC. Adoptive overexpression of p53, p21 (CIP1/WAF1), and E2F4 down-regulated transcription from the PLK1 and TTK promoters in ATC cells, suggesting that these genes might be under the negative control of tumor suppressors of the p53 and pRB families. ATC, but not normal thyroid, cells depended on PLK1 for survival. RNAi-mediated PLK1 knockdown caused cell cycle arrest associated with 4N DNA content and massive mitotic cell death. Thus, thyroid cell anaplastic transformation is accompanied by the overexpression of a cell proliferation/genetic instability-related gene cluster that includes PLK1 kinase, which is a potential molecular target for ATC treatment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
