Exploring the involvement of NOX4 in hypoxia adaptation of papillary thyroid cancer
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Hypoxic stress is a feature of rapidly growing thyroid tumors. Cancer progression is thought to be driven by reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced hypoxia adaptation. NADPH oxidases (NOXs), which produce ROS as their primary and sole function, has become of particular interest in thyroid malignancy. NOX4 was demonstrated to be upregulated in papillary thyroid cancers, functioning as a mitochondrial energetic sensor to modulate ATP levels, mediating overproduction of ROS induced by IL-δ, inversely correlating to thyroid differentiation. In this study, we analyzed hypoxia-treated BCPAP cells transfected with siRNA against NOX4. Results provides insight into the role of NOX4 in hypoxia adaptation.
