The cell‐autonomous roles of interferon type 1 vary based on duration and intensity. While acute, robust signaling results in cancer cell cytotoxic effects, sustained, low‐level signaling is associated with tumor‐promoting effects. This review summarizes current research of IFN‐1 in cancer and within the clinical setting, with an emphasis on female ...

Rat Sodium Iodide Symporter for Radioiodide Therapy of Cancer [PDF]
Abstract Design and development of new approaches for targeted radiotherapy of cancer and improvement of therapeutic index by more local radiation therapy are very important issues. Adenovirus-mediated delivery of the sodium iodide symporter (NIS) gene to cancer cells is a powerful technique to concentrate lethal radiation in tumor cells

Abstract There is increasing concern regarding pollutants disrupting the vertebrate thyroid hormone (TH) system, which is crucial for development. Thus, identification of TH system–disrupting chemicals (THSDCs) is an important requirement in the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) testing framework.

Characterization of small-molecule inhibitors of the sodium iodide symporter [PDF]
The sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) mediates the active transport of iodide from the bloodstream into thyrocytes. NIS function is strategic for the diagnosis and treatment of various thyroid diseases. In addition, a promising anti-cancer strategy based on targeted NIS gene transfer in non-thyroidal cells is currently developed.

ABSTRACT Bisphenol A (BPA), a ubiquitous environmental endocrine disruptor, has been implicated in carcinogenesis; however, its effects on thyroid cells remain unclear. This study investigated BPA‐induced cytotoxicity and genotoxicity in thyroid cell lines, including normal follicular (Nthy‐ori 3‐1), papillary carcinoma (TPC‐1 and BCPAP) and anaplastic

Molecular theranostics: principles, challenges and controversies
Molecular theranostics offers a powerful tool to drive precision medicine in nuclear oncology. While theranostics is not a new principle in nuclear medicine, recent advances in instrumentation and radiopharmacy have driven a reinvigoration and a broader suite of applications.

PTTG and PBF repress the human sodium iodide symporter [PDF]
The ability of the thyroid to accumulate iodide provides the basis for radioiodine ablation of differentiated thyroid cancers and their metastases. Most thyroid tumours exhibit reduced iodide uptake, although the mechanisms accounting for this remain poorly understood.

Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...

The sodium iodide symporter: its pathophysiological and therapeutic implications [PDF]
SummaryThe sodium iodide symporter (NIS) is an intrinsic plasma membrane protein that mediates the active transport of iodide in the thyroid gland and a number of extrathyroidal tissues, in particular lactating mammary gland. Because of its crucial role in the ability of thyroid follicular cells to trap iodide, cloning of NIS opened an exciting and ...
