Abstract

Differential protein arrays between nuclear extracts of human thyroid cell lines obtained from tumors with different degree of differentiation were exploited to define molecular alterations occurring during thyroid tumor progression. Nuclear extracts from the well differentiated TPC-1 (from papillary carcinoma) and the poorly differentiated ARO (from anaplastic carcinoma) cells showed an overall similar pattern of protein expression as revealed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis analysis. However, manganese-superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) was clearly identified by mass spectrometry procedures as significantly less expressed in ARO compared to TPC-1 cells. A reduced expression of Mn-SOD in the nuclear compartment was confirmed by Western blot and immunofluorescence analysis. A similar expression pattern of nuclear Mn-SOD was detected by immuno-histochemistry in human thyroid tumors, with the lowest or absent detection in anaplastic carcinomas. Moreover, the levels of nuclear Mn-SOD in tumor cells were lower than in the normal thyrocytes. These data indicate that an altered nuclear expression of Mn-SOD parallels, together with changes in other elements of the antioxidant protective system, the loss of differentiation occurring during the progression of thyroid tumors.
