Role of ADAM33 short isoform as a tumor suppressor in the pathogenesis of thyroid cancer via oncogenic function disruption of full-length ADAM33

Thyroid cancer is the most prevalent endocrine malignancy globally; however, its underlying pathogenesis remains unclarified. Reportedly, alternative splicing is involved in processes such as embryonic stem and precursor cell differentiation, cell lineage reprogramming, and epithelial-mesenchymal transitions. ADAM33-n, an alternative splicing isoform of ADAM33, encodes a small protein containing 138 amino acids of the N-terminal of full-length ADAM33, which constructs a chaperone-like domain that was previously reported to bind and block the proteolysis activity of ADAM33. In this study, we reported for the first time that ADAM33-n was downregulated in thyroid cancer. The results of cell counting kit-8 and colony formation assays showed that ectopic ADAM33-n in papillary thyroid cancer cell lines restricted cell proliferation and colony formation. Moreover, we demonstrated that ectopic ADAM33-n reversed the oncogenic function of full-length ADAM33 in cell growth and colony formation in the MDA-T32 and BCPAP cells. These findings indicate the tumor suppressor ability of ADAM33-n. Altogether, our study findings present a potential explanatory model of how the downregulation of the oncogenic gene ADAM33 promotes the pathogenesis of thyroid cancer.
