项目摘要

Mitochondrial glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (MGPDH) is the key enzyme connecting oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and glycolysis as well as a target of the antidiabetic drug metformin in the liver. There are no data on the expression and role of MGPDH as a metformin target in cancer. In this study, we evaluated MGPDH as a potential target of metformin in thyroid cancer and investigated its contribution in thyroid cancer metabolism.Experimental Design: We analyzed MGPDH expression in 253 thyroid cancer and normal tissues by immunostaining and examined its expression and localization in thyroid cancer-derived cell lines (FTC133, BCPAP) by confocal microscopy. The effects of metformin on MGPDH expression were determined by qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Seahorse analyzer was utilized to assess the effects of metformin on OXPHOS and glycolysis in thyroid cancer cells. We analyzed the effects of metformin on tumor growth and MGPDH expression in metastatic thyroid cancer mouse models. Results: We show for the first time that MGPDH is overexpressed in thyroid cancer compared with normal thyroid. We demonstrate that MGPDH regulates human thyroid cancer cell growth and OXPHOS rate in vitro Metformin treatment is associated with downregulation of MGPDH expression and inhibition of OXPHOS in thyroid cancer in vitro Cells characterized by high MGPDH expression are more sensitive to OXPHOS-inhibitory effects of metformin in vitro and growth-inhibitory effects of metformin in vitro and in vivo Conclusions: Our study established MGPDH as a novel regulator of thyroid cancer growth and metabolism that can be effectively targeted by metformin.

线粒体甘油磷酸脱氢酶（MGPDH）是连接氧化磷酸化（OXPHOS）和糖酵解的关键酶，也是肝脏中抗糖尿病药物二甲双胍的靶标。没有关于MGPDH作为二甲双胍靶标在癌症中的表达和作用的数据。在这项研究中，我们评估了MGPDH是甲状腺癌中二甲双胍的潜在靶标，并研究了其在甲状腺癌代谢中的贡献。设计：我们通过免疫染色并检查了其在甲状腺癌衍生的细胞系（FTC133，BCPAP）中通过共焦显微镜分析了253种甲状腺癌和正常组织中的MGPDH表达。通过QRT-PCR和Western印迹分析确定二甲双胍对MGPDH表达的影响。 Seahorse分析仪用于评估二甲双胍对甲状腺癌细胞中Oxphos和糖酵解的影响。我们分析了二甲双胍对转移性甲状腺癌小鼠模型中肿瘤生长和MGPDH表达的影响。结果：我们首次表明MGPDH与正常甲状腺相比在甲状腺癌中过表达。 We demonstrate that MGPDH regulates human thyroid cancer cell growth and OXPHOS rate in vitro Metformin treatment is associated with downregulation of MGPDH expression and inhibition of OXPHOS in thyroid cancer in vitro Cells characterized by high MGPDH expression are more sensitive to OXPHOS-inhibitory effects of metformin in vitro and growth-inhibitory effects of metformin in vitro and in vivo 结论：我们的研究将MGPDH建立为甲状腺癌生长和代谢的新型调节剂，可以有效地由二甲双胍靶向。
