Abstract
AbstractThyroid cancer (TC) is the most common endocrine tumor, amongst which anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is the most deadly. Aurora-A usually functions as oncogenes, and its inhibitor Alisertib exerts a powerful antitumor effect in various tumors. However, the mechanism of Aurora-A in regulating TC cell energy supply remains unclear. In the present study, we demonstrated the antitumor effect of Alisertib and an association between high Aurora-A expression and shorter survival. Multi-omics data and in vitro validation data suggested that Aurora-A induced PFKFB3-mediated glycolysis to increase ATP supply, which significantly upregulated the phosphorylation of ERK and AKT. Furthermore, the combination of Alisertib and Sorafenib had a synergistic effect, further confirmed in xenograft models and in vitro. Collectively, our study provides compelling evidence of the prognostic value of Aurora-A expression and suggests that Aurora-A upregulates PFKFB3-mediated glycolysis to enhance ATP supply and promote TC progression. Combining Alisertib with Sorafenib has huge prospects for application in treating advanced thyroid carcinoma.
