Title in Portuguese
Estudo da expressão de Arkadia, proteína E3 de ubiquitinação, em tumores de tiróide e sua relação com a via de sinalização de TGF-Beta.
Keywords in Portuguese
Arkadia
ARO
Carcinoma anaplásico de tiróide
E3 ubiquitina ligase
TGF-beta
Ubiquitinação
Abstract in Portuguese
Arkadia participa do processo de amplificação da sinalização de TGF-b mediada por Smads, via degradação do I-Smad. O objetivo desse estudo foi caracterizar e investigar a influência de Arkadia em linhagens celulares de cânceres de tiróide. A expressão gênica de Arkadia em linhagens celulares de carcinomas papílifero (NPA), folicular (WRO) e anaplásico (ARO), foi avaliada por PCR quantitativo. Em ARO, que apresenta a maior expressão de Arkadia, foram identificados subclones (ARO_1 e ARO_2) com expressão diferencial de Arkadia, ARO_2>ARO_1. A expressão gênica de SMAD2, 3, 4, 7 e de genes do ciclo celular modulados por TGF-b, foi maior em ARO_2. Os subclones respondem ao tratamento com peptídeo de TGF-b1 e activina A. O crescimento in vivo (xenotransplante) mostra que ARO_2 desenvolve um tumor de menor volume. Recentemente a origem de ARO foi questionada e comprovamos sua origem por análises de expressão gênica e morfologias. Desta maneira, observamos que a expressão diferencial de Arkadia indica que ela está envolvida na modulação inibitória da via de TGF-b.

Abstract in English
Arkadia is involved in the process of amplification of the TGF-b signaling mediated by Smads, by degradation of I-Smad. The aim of this study was to characterize and investigate the influence of Arkadia in thyroid cancers cell lines. Arkadia gene expression in the papillary (NPA), follicular (WRO) and anaplastic carcinoma cell lines (ARO) was evaluated by quantitative PCR. In ARO, which presents the highest Arkadia expression, we identified subclones (ARO_1 and ARO_2) with differential Arkadia expression ARO_2> ARO_1. The expression of SMAD2, 3, 4, 7 and the cell cycle genes modulated by TGF-b, was also higher in ARO_2. However both the subclones responded to treatment with peptide of TGF-b1 and activin A. The in vivo growth (evaluated by xenotransplant), showed that ARO_2 developed tumors of lower volume. Recently the ARO origin was questioned and we proved its origin by gene expression and morphological analysis. This way, the differential Arkadia expression indicates that it is involved in modulation of the inhibitory TGF-b pathway.
