Background.mTOR signaling would be a promising target for thyroid cancer therapy. However, in clinical trials, objective response rate with mTOR inhibitor monotherapy in most cancer types was modest. A new focus on development of combinatorial strategies with rapalogs is increasing.Objective.Investigating the combinatorial antitumor effect of rapamycin andβ-elemene in follicular thyroid cancer cells.Methods.MTT assay was used to determine the FTC-133 cell proliferation after culturing with rapamycin and/orβ-elemene. To analyze their combinatorial effect, immunoblotting was performed to analyze the activation status of AKT. Moreover,β-elemene attenuated rapamycin-induced immunosuppression was tested in mice.Results.Combination of rapamycin andβ-elemene exerted significant synergistic antiproliferative effects in FTC-133 cell linesin vitro, based on inhibiting the AKT feedback activation induced by rapamycin.In vivo, theβ-elemene could attenuate rapamycin-induced immunosuppression via reversing imbalance of Treg/Th17, with the underlying mechanism needed to be declared.Conclusions. We demonstrate that the novel combination of mTOR inhibitor withβ-elemene synergistically attenuates tumor cell growth in follicular thyroid cancer, which requires additional preclinical validation.

The principal issue derived from thyroid cancer is its high propensity to metastasize to the lymph node. Aberrant exprssion of long non-coding RNAs have been extensively reported to be significantly correlated with lymphatic metastasis of thyroid cancer. However, the clinical significance and functional role of lncRNA-MAPK8IP1P2 in lymphatic metastasis of thyroid cancer remain unclear. Here, we reported that MAPK8IP1P2 was downregulated in thyroid cancer tissues with lymphatic metastasis. Upregulating MAPK8IP1P2 inhibited, while silencing MAPK8IP1P2 enhanced anoikis resistance in vitro and lymphatic metastasis of thyroid cancer cells in vivo. Mechanistically, MAPK8IP1P2 activated Hippo signaling by sponging miR-146b-3p to disrupt the inhibitory effect of miR-146b-3p on NF2, RASSF1, and RASSF5 expression, which further inhibited anoikis resistance and lymphatic metastasis in thyroid cancer. Importantly, miR-146b-3p mimics reversed the inhibitory effect of MAPK8IP1P2 overexpression on anoikis resistance of thyroid cancer cells. In conclusion, our findings suggest that MAPK8IP1P2 may serve as a potential biomarker to predict lymphatic metastasis in thyroid cancer, or a potential therapeutic target in lymphatic metastatic thyroid cancer.
