    Identification of kinase inhibitors that repress TERTp MUT reporter activity (A) Schematic diagram of knock-in strategy. LUC : luciferase, PURO : Puromycin, LHA: left homology arm, RHA: right homology arm, HDR: homology directed repair. (B) Quantification of transgene copy number and TERT expression in <t>SW1736</t> TERT/LUC . Digital droplet PCR and RT-qPCR were utilized to quantify the transgene copy number and TERT expression, respectively, from gDNA and total RNA extracted from SW1736 TERT/LUC across 30 passages post-puromycin selection. The plotted values represent averages from three independent assays. (C) Genome-wide coverage plot derived from Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing of SW1736 TERT/LUC . An inset zooms in on the TERT locus, where a distinct peak indicates the precise integration site of the LUC transgene at the TERT locus. (D and E) Sanger sequencing analysis of the reporter integration site in PCR amplified genomic DNA from SW1736 TERT/LUC reporter cells. TSS : TERT transcriptional start site, LUC : luciferase gene (E) A library of 218 FDA-approved and experimental inhibitors was tested against the SW1736 TERT/LUC reporter cell-line. The heatmap show hierarchical clustering of mean values of two independent screens performed in duplicate, which were normalized to Actinomycin D (general transcriptional inhibitor) and DMSO controls and expressed as percentages of the DMSO control. The inhibitors within clusters 1 and 2 are shown together with their respective targets. (F) Dose response of SW1736 TERT/LUC cells treated with AZD8330 (target = MEK1/2), AZD8055 (mTORC1/2), Lenvatinib (RTK), Dabrafenib (RAF) and Everolimus (mTORC1). Luciferase activity was evaluated after 24 h treatment with varying inhibitor doses (0.01–20 μM). Plotted values are the mean ± SD of three independent experiments, each performed in triplicate, expressed as fold-change in normalized percentage luciferase activity relative to DMSO treated cells.

TERT expression was quantified using RT-qPCR, and phospho-protein levels were assessed through semi-quantitative western blotting. (C–E) Correlation of Somatic Variants in MAPK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR Pathways with TERT Expression in six poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) cases. WGS mutational profiling of key thyroid cancer driver and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway genes versus log2FC TERT expression, as determined by RT-qPCR, compared to the median expression levels across six cases of PDTC. Colors in the top row indicate whether a somatic variant impacts the MAPK, PI3K/AKT/mTOR or both pathways. Time-course analysis of (D) TERT expression 24–72 h measured by RT-qPCR and (E) telomerase activity relative to MCF7 control 72–120 h measured by qTRAP, following treatment with Everolimus (IC50 dose of 2 nM) across various cancer cell lines. Significant changes (∗), defined as p < 0.05, were calculated by two-tailed unpaired t -test.

    A. Human focused CRISPR/Cas9 KO library and CRISPR/dcas9 activation library containing number of guides were packed into lentiviral particles and transduced into Cas9+ or dCas9+ <t>8505c</t> cells. The transduced cells were selected with puromycin. Newly generated mutant cell lines were cultured for 14 days with vehicle or dabrafenib (0.4 µM) for screening. Genomic DNA was extracted from the treated cells with vehicle or dabrafenib, sgRNA fragments were amplified by RT-PCR followed by next-generation sequencing. Genomic DNA from non-treated 8505c-transduced cell line was used as control. Sequencing data were analyzed using MAGeCKFlute. Genes were ranked by essentiality. B .

Red arrow pointing to HGF and blue arrow pointing to WWTR1. D . Venn Diagram showing the common essential genes from the CRISPR/Cas9 KO and activation screens’ top 50 hits. E. sgRNA targeting WWTR1 (TAZ) were depleted in dabrafenib treated cells and sgRNA activating WWTR1 were enriched in dabrafenib treated cells, suggesting that WWTR1 is an essential gene for survival during treatment. F . Cancer Dependency Map showing gene effect of WWTR1 using CHRONOS score in thyroid cancer cell lines . G . Gene expression Omnibus dataset (GSE33630) showed higher expression of WWTR1 in ATC compared to normal thyroid or PTC. H . WWTR1 (TAZ) essentiality in cancer cell lines based on BRAF mutation status using DepMap dataset. Essentiality score is defined by the effect of WWTR1 loss on cell viability.

    Impact of AURKB inhibition on TERT expression and telomerase activity (A–C) Dose response of TERT expression measured by RT-qPCR across thyroid cancer cell-lines treated with 0.1–10 μM Hesperadin. Plotted values are the mean ± SD of three independent experiments, each performed in triplicate, expressed as fold-change in normalized expression relative to DMSO control. Time-course analysis showing modulation of (B) TERT expression 24–72 h measured by RT-qPCR and (C) telomerase activity relative to MCF7 control 72–120 h measured by qTRAP, following treatment with IC50 dose of Hesperadin across various cancer cell lines. (D–F), Cell-cycle independent effect of Hesperadin on TERT expression was assessed by RT-qPCR at 0, 3, and 6 h post IC50 Hesperadin dose in SW1736 and CAL62 cells, which were arrested at the G2/M phase by Nocodazole. Flow cytometry was utilized to evaluate the cell cycle distribution of cells exposed to a 24 h Nocodazole vehicle, 24 h Nocodazole with a 6 h Hesperadin vehicle, or Nocodazole plus 6 h Hesperadin treatment. Data illustrates average cell percentages in G1, S, and G2/M phases (±SD). Values presented are mean ± SD from three independent experiments, each conducted in triplicate, expressed as fold changes in normalized expression/activity relative to 0 h baseline levels. For all experiments, asterisks (∗) denote significant changes, determined at p < 0.05, using an unpaired two-tailed t -test with the assumption of equal variances.

    Figure Lengend Snippet: ADSC-CM Improved the proliferation and viability of TPC-1 and BCPAP cells. (A,C) EdU incorporation assay showed that ADSC-CM upregulated the proliferation of TPC-1 and BCPAP. (B,D) CCK8 assay showed that ADSC-CM increased the cell viability of TPC-1 and BCPAP. Experiments were repeated at least five times. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.

    Article Snippet: The TPC-1 and BCPAP human papillary thyroid cancer cell lines (Procell Life Science & Technology, Co., Ltd.) were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) containing 10% fetal bovine serum [ , ].

    The conditioned medium of ADSCs upregulated the level of leptin receptor (Ob-R) in TPC-1 and BCPAP cells. (A) The concentration of leptin in the medium of ADSCs was ∼3-fold higher than that in the medium of TPC-1 and BCPAP cells, approximately 50 pg/ml. (B) In vitro experiments showed that ADSC-CM increased the level of leptin receptor (Ob-R) in the TPC-1/BCPAP cells. Experiments were repeated at least five times. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001.

    The neutralizing antibody to leptin reduced the invasion and migration of the TPC-1 and BCPAP cells. ADSC-CM upregulated MMP-2 in TPC-1 and BCPAP cells, and the effect was attenuated by the neutralizing antibody to leptin. (A) Addition of 10 μg/mL NAB of leptin to ADSC-CM conditioned medium attenuated TPC-1 and BCPAP invasion. (B) Leptin NAB also attenuated conditioned medium-promoted TPC-1/BCPAP migration. Experiments were repeated at least five times. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001.

    Neutralizing antibodies against leptin slightly downregulated cell proliferation without significant effect on cell viability. (A) Addition of leptin NAB to ADSC-CM slightly reduced the stimulatory effect of conditioned medium on TPC-1 proliferation. (B) Addition of NAB to the conditioned medium had no significant effect on cell viability of TPC-1 cells. (C) NAB of leptin had no significant effect on BCPAP proliferation. (D) NAB of leptin had no significant effect on BCPAP viability. Experiments were repeated at least five times. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. * p < 0.05, ns: not statistically significant.

    (A,B) The ADSCs conditioned medium upregulated the MMP-2 levels of TPC-1/BCPAP. NAB of leptin partially counteracted the increase in MMP-2 levels. Experiments were repeated at least five times. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.
