Abstract
甲狀腺未分化癌 (ATC) 是最難治療的甲狀腺癌,也是存活期最短的癌症之一,傳統的治療方式包括手術、放射線治療、化學治療或其合併治療,效果非常不理想,病患經診斷後平均只能存活三個月。有鑑於此,新的分子標靶藥物研究與治療方式,在甲狀腺未分化癌的治療上,是一個必要的研究課題。甲狀腺未分化癌會表現過量的表皮生長因子 (EGF),這與甲狀腺未分化癌的致病機轉有密切相關,且甲狀腺癌的患者通常會大量表現Cyr61,根據研究數據顯示,表皮生長因子可以誘導的Cyr61表現,進而導致在人類甲狀腺未分化癌細胞的細胞遷移增加;在血漿可達到的濃度之下,PPARγ配體之降血糖藥物troglitazone (5 μM) 與降血脂藥物lovastatin (1 μM) 合併使用,可以在無細胞毒性 (cytotoxicity) 的情況下,抑制表皮生長因子所誘導的甲狀腺未分化癌細胞遷移。Troglitazone與lovastatin合併使用也改變了EMT相關的基因的表達,具體而言,表皮細胞蛋白E-cadherin表現增加和間質細胞蛋白vimentin表現減少。Troglitazone與lovastatin合併治療降低了表皮生長因子所誘導的絲狀偽足 (filopodia) 的數目,且絲狀偽足被認為是參與遷移的重要因子之一;合併治療也顯著抑制表皮生長因子誘導的Cyr61 mRNA和蛋白表現量以及在細胞培養基中的分泌量。除此之外,表皮生長因子誘導的Cyr61表現,主要是透過兩個關鍵信號分子CREB和ERK的磷酸化所導致,而在甲狀腺未分化癌,troglitazone與lovastatin合併治療減少CREB和ERK的磷酸化。進一步的使用冷光的表現量來測試Cyr61啟動子的活性,該合併治療顯著抑制Cyr61的啟動子 (promoter) 活性,而且也抑制了重組蛋白Cyr61所引起的細胞遷移。經由以上結果得知,低劑量的Troglitazone與lovastatin合併治療,可以有效的抑制表皮生長因子所誘導的CREB和ERK磷酸化,降低Cyr61的表現及分泌量,進而減少甲狀腺未分化癌細胞遷移。此種合併治療在轉移性甲狀腺未分化癌提供了一種新的治療策略,在未來的甲狀腺癌研究中具有極大的潛力。
