项目摘要

Abstract Thyroid cancer patients with distant metastases or unresectable disease have poor likelihood of long-term survival. Radioactive iodine (RAI) can specifically and systemically eradicate malignant thyroid cancer cells that have spread throughout the body through metastasis. However, 5-15% of all thyroid cancer patients eventually progress to RAI-refractory status, which has the poorest prognosis of all thyroid cancer cases. Refractory disease occurs when thyroid tumor cells lose their innate ability to take up and concentrate RAI. Recent clinical studies have shown that kinase inhibitors and other drugs can reverse this effect by redifferentiating refractory tumor cells, thus restoring the cellular machinery required to concentrate RAI. However, this redifferentiation strategy remains challenging to optimize and deploy clinically. The reasons for this include the small number of patients eligible, the heterogeneity of the disease, the toxicity of targeted kinase therapies, and the lack of robust biomarkers. This project will develop papillary thyroid carcinoma organoids to study and individualize the use of redifferentiation agents to restore RAI uptake in RAI-refractory patients. In the first Aim, we develop a novel automated and high-throughput assay to measure RAI uptake in thousands of tumor organoid cultures. The assay will be optimized to achieve specific performance goals, including throughput, linearity, limit of detection, and reproducibility. In the second Aim, we will demonstrate the assay in a small pilot study of 10 patients. The panel of tumor organoids, which will include both RAI-sensitive and refractory disease, will be used to screen a library of relevant drugs on the basis of RAI uptake. Using the approach, we will optimize dosing and scheduling of the treatments towards the eventual goal of individualizing therapy to maximize efficacy while minimizing the adverse side effects of kinase inhibitors.

抽象的甲状腺癌患者患有远处转移或不可切除的疾病的患者长期存在很大的可能性生存。放射性碘（RAI）可以特异性地根除恶性甲状腺癌细胞，已经通过转移扩散到整个身体。但是，所有甲状腺癌患者中有5-15％ RAI侵犯状态的进展，所有甲状腺癌病例的预后最差。难治性疾病当甲状腺肿瘤细胞失去了其既定能力并浓缩RAI的能力时，就会发生。最近的临床研究已经表明激酶抑制剂和其他药物可以通过重新分辨难治性肿瘤来扭转这种作用细胞，从而恢复浓缩RAI所需的细胞机制。但是，这种重新分化策略在临床上进行优化和部署仍然具有挑战性。原因包括少数患者合格的，疾病的异质性，靶向激酶疗法的毒性以及缺乏强大的生物标志物。该项目将开发乳头状甲状腺癌器官，以研究和个性化使用重新分化剂以恢复Rai fractractory患者的RAI摄取。在第一个目标中，我们发展了一本小说自动化和高通量测定法，以测量成千上万种肿瘤器官培养物中的RAI摄取。这测定将被优化以实现特定的性能目标，包括吞吐量，线性，检测极限，和可重复性。在第二个目标中，我们将在一项针对10名患者的小型试点研究中证明该测定法。这肿瘤类器官的面板将包括对RAI敏感和难治性疾病，将用于筛查根据RAI的吸收，相关药物库。使用该方法，我们将优化剂量和调度朝着个体化治疗的最终目标的治疗方法，以最大化疗效，同时最大程度地减少激酶抑制剂的不良副作用。
