Azione: 
Questi risultati identificano un nuovo obiettivo per terapie ri-differenzianti e anti-tumorali mediate dall'acido retinoico (RA) nel trattamenti del carcinoma della tiroide.
Target: 
RA/carcinoma della tiroide.

Our previous studies demonstrated that retinoic acid (RA)-induced reduction of both, the key glycolytic enzyme ENO1 and proliferation-promoting c-Myc, resulted in decreased vitality and invasiveness of the follicular thyroid carcinoma cell lines FTC-133 and FTC-238. By employing two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry, we identified proteins affected by RA treatment. In addition to previously reported decrease in ENO1 expression, we found that RA led to significantly reduced levels of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), pyruvate
kinase isoenzymes M1/M2 (PKM1/M2), peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase A (PPIA), transketolase (TKT), annexin A2 (ANXA2), glutathione S-transferase P (GSTP1) and peroxiredoxin 2 (PRDX2) as compared to untreated control. The same proteins investigated on thyroid tissues were found to be significantly up-regulated in follicular, papillary and undifferentiated thyroid carcinomas when compared with goiter and adenoma tissues. These findings identify new target proteins for RA-mediated anti-tumor and re-differentiation therapies and provide novel insights into treatments for thyroid carcinoma.
