This study confirmed the effect of sodium/iodine symporter (NIS) expression on existing drugs by in vitro and in vivo tests using cultured cell lines. The tumor growth inhibitory effect of sodium astatide ([At]NaAt) was evaluated by in vitro and in vivo tests using human thyroid cancer cells (K1, K1/NIS and K1/NIS-DOX). NIS expression in cancer cells was controlled using the Tet-On system. [I]NaI was used as control existing drug. From the results of the in vitro studies, the mechanism of [At]NaAt uptake into thyroid cancer cells is mediated by NIS, analogous to [I]NaI, and the cellular uptake rate correlates with the expression level of NIS. [At]NaAt's ability to inhibit colony formation was more than 10 times that of [I]NaI per becquerel (Bq), and [At]NaAt's DNA double-strand breaking (DSB) induction was more than ten times that of [I]NaI per Bq, and [At]NaAt was more than three times more cytotoxic than [I]NaI (at 1000 kBq each). In vivo studies also showed that the tumor growth inhibitory effect of [At]NaAt depended on NIS expression and was more than six times that of [I]NaI per Bq.

Triclosan (TCS), an antimicrobial agent widely used in personal care products, has been associated with impaired thyroid function and reduced thyroid hormone (TH) levels. However, its potential role in the developmental programming of thyroid dysfunction remains unclear. This study investigated the long-term effects of intrauterine TCS exposure on the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis in adult rat offspring.

: Gut dysbiosis has been implicated in multiple sclerosis (MS), but microbial signatures remain inconsistent across studies. Machine learning (ML) algorithms based on global microbiome data integration can reveal key disease-associated microbial biomarkers and new insights into MS pathogenesis. This study aimed to investigate gut microbial signatures associated with MS and to evaluate the potential of ML for diagnostic applications.

Objective: Approximately, one-third of patients with epilepsy (PWE) have drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). This condition significantly impacts quality of life, leads to various negative socioeconomic consequences, and increases the risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Surgical treatment is considered the most effective option for patients with lesional DRE.

Iodine is an essential trace element, and its deficiency continues to pose a significant global health burden. Reliable biomarkers such as urinary iodine concentration (UIC), thyroglobulin, thyroid volume, and breast milk iodine levels are well-established for assessing individual and population iodine status. However, mechanistic studies into iodine metabolism and distribution remain limited by the use of the radionuclide iodine-131 which imposes practical limitations on experimental design, cost, and safety.

Sodium iodide symporter (NIS) expression in breast cancer renders radioiodide (RAI) a promising treatment modality. However, insufficient functional NIS within the plasma membrane limits RAI uptake (RAIU). We aimed to elucidate NIS regulatory mechanisms that impede RAIU in breast cancer and identify molecular targets for stimulating RAI-avidity in breast tumours.
