Abstract Purpose: Patients with aggressive thyroid cancer are frequently failed by the central therapy of ablative radioiodide (RAI) uptake, due to reduced plasma membrane (PM) localization sodium/iodide symporter (NIS). We aimed understand how NIS is endocytosed away from PM human cells, and whether this was druggable in vivo. Experimental Design: Informed analysis endocytic gene expression patients cancer, we used mutagenesis, NanoBiT interaction assays, cell surface biotinylation RAI...

Abstract New approaches are urgently needed to enhance the radioiodide (RAI) ablation of aggressive and metastatic thyroid cancer. We recently discovered that valosin-containing protein inhibitors (VCPi) such as clotrimazole disulfiram transiently block sodium iodide symporter (NIS) proteasomal degradation, hence promoting RAI uptake. However, poor bioavailability diminishes their potential impact in vivo . Following 3D modelling iterative drug design we appraised 26 novel analogues...
