    Abstract Nucleophosmin (NPM1) is frequently mutated in acute myeloid leukemia, and NPM1 expression is elevated in several cancer types. NPM1 is a multifunctional oligomeric protein involved in numerous cellular functions that include participating in liquid-liquid phase separation, ribosome biogenesis, chaperoning of histones, and modulation of transcription. In this review, we discuss the underappreciated role of NPM1 in DNA damage repair, specifically Polη-mediated translesion synthesis, base excision, and homologous recombination and highlight the therapeutic potential of NPM1 targeting in cancer treatment.

    Abstract Purpose: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) progression imparts reduced patient survival. Tumor resistance and progression can be influenced by Glutathione (GSH) metabolism. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) regulates GSH oxidation to prevent lipid peroxidation of cell membranes during increased oxidative stress and regulates ferroptosis cell death pathway in tumor cells. This study examines the differential ferroptosis effects by GPX4 inhibitors in thyroid cancer cell and 3-D spheroid in vitro models.
    Materials and methods: We examined differential effects of GPX4 inhibitors on PTC cells (K1, MDA-T32, MDA-T68) with BRAF and RAS mutations, and TERT promoter and PIK3CA co-mutations. The effects of GPX4 inhibitors on ferroptosis activation, proliferation, oxidative stress, and activation of signaling pathways were assessed by Western blot, total (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) levels, ROS induction, RT-qPCR, migration, and proliferation assays.
    Results: GPX4 inhibitors induced ferroptosis, rising ROS, GSH depletion, arrested tumor cell migration, increased DNA damage, suppressed mTOR pathway and DNA repair response in PTC cells in vitro. Differential responses to DNA damage and GPX4 levels were observed between 3-D PTC spheroids and thyroid cancer cells in a monolayer model.
    Conclusion: Effective GPX4 inhibition with various inhibitors induced a robust but differential activation of ferroptosis in monolayer thyroid tumor cell and 3-D PTC spheroid models. Our study is the first of its kind to determine the differential effects of GPX4 inhibitors on thyroid cancer cells with diverse mutational signatures. We have identified a novel mechanism of action of GPX4 inhibition in preclinical in vitro models of thyroid cancer that can be further exploited for therapeutic benefit in advanced therapy-resistant thyroid cancers.

    Abstract Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) demonstrates significantly reduced patient survival with metastatic progression. Tumor progression can be influenced by metabolism, including antioxidant glutathione (GSH). Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) is a selenoenzyme that uses GSH as a co-factor to regulate lipid peroxidation of cell membranes during increased oxidative stress. GPX4 suppression in tumor cells can induce ferroptosis. This study aims to examine ferroptosis as a potentially critical pathway in effective targeting of thyroid cancer (TC) cells. We treated human TC cells (K1, MDA-T68, MDA-T32, TPC1) with (1S,3R)-RSL3 (RSL3), a small-molecule inhibitor of GPX4 and examined the effects on ferroptosis, tumor cell survival and migration, spheroid formation, oxidative stress, DNA damage repair response, and mTOR signaling pathway in vitro. GPX4 inhibition activated ferroptosis, inducing TC cell death, rapid rise in reactive oxygen species and effectively arrested cell migration in vitro. Suppression of mTOR signaling pathway triggered autophagy. GPX4 genetic knockdown mirrored RSL3 effect on mTOR pathway suppression. RSL3 subdued DNA damage repair response by suppressing phosphorylation of nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1). Thus, observed potent induction of ferroptosis, GPX4-dependent novel suppression of mTOR pathway and DNA damage repair response in preclinical in vitro model of TC supports GPX4 targeting for therapeutic benefit in advanced therapy-resistant thyroid cancers.

    Abstract Introduction: We successfully developed a broad spectrum of patient-derived endocrine organoids (PDO) from benign and malignant neoplasms of thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands. In this study, we employed functionally intact parathyroid PDOs from benign parathyroid tissues to study primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), a common endocrine metabolic disease. As proof of concept, we examined the utility of parathyroid PDOs for bioenergetic and metabolic screening and assessed whether parathyroid PDO metabolism recapitulated matched PHPT tissues.
    Methods: Our study methods included a fine-needle aspiration (FNA)-based technique to establish parathyroid PDOs from human PHPT tissues (n=6) in semi-solid culture conditions for organoid formation, growth, and proliferation. Mass spectrometry metabolomic analysis of PHPT tissues and patient-matched PDOs, and live cell bioenergetic profiling of parathyroid PDOs with extracellular flux analyses, were performed. Functional analysis cryopreserved and re-cultured parathyroid PDOs for parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion was performed using ELISA hormone assays.
    Results and discussion: Our findings support both the feasibility of parathyroid PDOs for metabolic and bioenergetic profiling and reinforce metabolic recapitulation of PHPT tissues by patient-matched parathyroid PDOs. Cryopreserved parathyroid PDOs exhibited preserved, rapid, and sustained secretory function after thawing. In conclusion, successful utilization of parathyroid PDOs for metabolic profiling further affirms the feasibility of promising endocrine organoid platforms for future metabolic studies and broader multiplatform and translational applications for therapeutic advancements of parathyroid and other endocrine applications.

    Abstract Nrf2 is a transcription factor that promotes antioxidant and drug-metabolizing gene expression. It also regulates the transcription of genes involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, NADPH regeneration, and heme and iron metabolism, as well as proteasome metabolism. Emerging research has identified Nrf2 as a critical factor for promoting survival of mammalian cells subjected to ionizing radiation. At a mechanistic level, Nrf2 promotes the repair of DNA damage and drives detoxification of superoxide that is generated hours to days after irradiation. This review summarizes research in these areas and discusses targeting of Nrf2 in radiation-resistant cancer and Nrf2׳s role in mitigating acute radiation syndrome.

    Abstract Radiation therapy is often combined with androgen deprivation therapy in the treatment of aggressive localized prostate cancer. However, castration-resistant disease may not respond to testosterone deprivation approaches. Enzalutamide is a second-generation anti-androgen with high affinity and activity that is used for the treatment of metastatic disease. Although radiosensitization mechanisms are known to be mediated through androgen receptor activity, this project aims to uncover the detailed DNA damage repair factors influenced by enzalutamide using multiple models of androgen-sensitive (LNCaP) and castration-resistant human prostate cancer (22Rv1 and DU145). Enzalutamide is able to radiosensitize both androgen-dependent and androgen-independent human prostate cancer models in cell culture and xenografts in mice, as well as a treatment-resistant patient-derived xenograft. The enzalutamide-mediated mechanism of radiosensitization includes delay of DNA repair through temporal prolongation of the repair factor complexes and halting the cell cycle, which results in decreased colony survival. Altogether, these findings support the use of enzalutamide concurrently with radiotherapy to enhance the treatment efficacy for prostate cancer.

    Abstract Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare but highly aggressive malignancy. Nearly half of ACC tumours overproduce and secrete adrenal steroids. Excess cortisol secretion, in particular, has been associated with poor prognosis among ACC patients. Furthermore, recent immunotherapy clinical trials have demonstrated significant immunoresistance among cortisol-secreting ACC (CS-ACC) patients when compared to their non-cortisol-secreting (nonCS-ACC) counterparts. The immunosuppressive role of excess glucocorticoid therapies and hypersecretion is known; however, the impact of the cortisol hypersecretion on ACC tumour microenvironment (TME), immune expression profiles and immune cell responses remain largely undefined. In this study, we characterized the TME of ACC patients and compared the immunogenomic profiles of nonCS-ACC and CS-ACC tumours to assess the impact of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by utilizing The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Immunogenomic comparison (CS- vs. nonCS-ACC tumour TMEs) demonstrated an immunosuppressive expression profile with a direct impact on patient survival. We identified several primary prognostic indicators and potential targets within ACC tumour immune landscape. Differentially expressed immune genes with prognostic significance provide additional insight into the understanding of potential contributory mechanisms underlying failure of initial immunotherapeutic trials and poor prognosis of patients with CS-ACC.

    Abstract The ability of chemo-radiation therapy to control locally advanced stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is poor. While addition of consolidation immunotherapy has improved outcomes in subsets of patients there is still an urgent need for new therapeutic targets. Emerging research indicates that nucleophosmin1 (NPM1) is over-expressed in NSCLC, promotes tumor growth and that over-expression correlates with a lower survival probability. NPM1 is critical for APE1 base excision activity and for RAD51-mediated repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). YTR107 is a small molecule radiation sensitizer that has been shown to bind to NPM1, suppressing pentamer formation. Here we show that in irradiated cells YTR107 inhibits SUMOylated NPM1 from associating with RAD51, RAD51 foci formation and repair of DSBs. YTR107 acts synergistically with the PARP1/2 inhibitor ABT 888 to increase replication stress and radiation-induced cell lethality. YTR107 was found to radiosensitize tumor initiating cells. Congruent with this knowledge, adding YTR107 to a fractionated irradiation regimen diminished NSCLC xenograft growth and increased overall survival. These data support the hypothesis that YTR107 represents a therapeutic target for control of NSCLC.

    Abstract The transcription factor Nrf2 is an important modulator of antioxidant and drug metabolism, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, as well as heme and iron metabolism. Regulation of Nrf2 expression occurs transcriptionally and post-transcriptionally. Post-transcriptional regulation entails ubiquitination followed by proteasome-dependent degradation. Additionally, Nrf2-mediated gene expression is subject to negative regulation by ATF3, Bach1 and cMyc. Nrf2-mediated gene expression is an important regulator of a cell's response to radiation. Although a majority of studies have shown that Nrf2 deficient cells are radiosensitized and Nrf2 over expression confers radioresistance, Nrf2's role in mediating the radiation response of crypt cells is controversial. The Nrf2 activator CDDO attenuates radiation-mediated crypt injury, whereas intestinal crypts in Nrf2 null mice are radiation resistant. Further investigation is needed in order to define the relationship between Nrf2 and radiation sensitivity in Lgr5+ and Bmi1+ cells that regulate regeneration of crypt stem cells. In hematopoietic compartments Nrf2 promotes the survival of irradiated osteoblasts that support long-term hematopoietic stem cell (LT-HSC) niches. Loss of Nrf2 in LT-HSCs increases stem cell intrinsic radiosensitivity, with the consequence of lowering the LD50
