RET/PTC1 fusion oncogene is the most common genetic alteration identified to date in thyroid papillary
carcinomas (PTC) and represents a good target for small interfering RNA (siRNA). Our aim was: i) to target the
RET/PTC1 oncogene by siRNAs, ii) to assess the knockdown effects on cell growth and cell cycle regulation and
iii) to vectorize it in order to protect it from degradation. Methods. Human cell lines expressing RET/PTC1
were transfected by siRNA RET/PTC1, inhibition of the oncogene expression was assessed by qRT-PCR and by
Western blot. Conjugation of siRNA RET/PTC1 to squalene was performed by coupling it to squalene. In vivo
studies are performed in nude mice. Conclusion. In this short com- munication, we report the main published
results obtained during last years.
Keywords: RET/PTC1, siRNA, thyroid papillary carcinomas.
Introduction. Cancers due to chromosomal transloca-
tions are considered to represent around 20 % of all can-
cers [1]. Genomic rearrangements leading to intragenic
fusion are mainly found in some types of haematopoie-
tic malignancies and sarcomas. They have recently been
described also in carcinomas [2, 3]. The mechanism of
formation of most of these translocations is still un-
clear, except for RET oncogene in papillary thyroid car-
cinomas (PTC) where ionizing radiation is described as
an important factor [4]. Thus, thousands of people deve-
loped thyroid cancers after the Chernobyl catastrophe
[5, 6]. The RET/PTC oncogene was isolated almost
twenty years ago [7, 8]. RET/PTC is an early event in
the process of thyroid carcinogenesis and plays a criti-
cal role in the generation of papillary carcinoma [9].
The RET protooncogene codes for a cell membrane re-
ceptor tyro sine kinase and has a role in the regulation of
cell growth, survival, differentiation and migration [10].
Rearrangement involving the chromosome 10 between
RET and a ubiquitous gene leads to the abnormal ex-
pression of a chimeric constitutively activated RET pro-
tein in follicular cells [11]. To date, 12 different fusion
pattern genes have been reported to form at least 17
different RET hybrid oncogenes. The spatial proximity
of Ret gene with H4 during thyrocyte interphase can
explain the RET/PTC1 formation [12]. This fusion on-
cogene is essentially restricted to the papillary histo-
type (60–70 %) [13] and to the Hurthle thyroid tumours
(58 %) [14] and its incidence increases after radiation
exposure.
Moreover, the RET/PTC1 fusion oncogene is pre-
sent only in the tumour cells and not in the surroun-
ding normal cells, this constitutes an area of important
research on emerging therapies such as using small in-
terfering RNA (siRNA) to target. Therefore, we tar-
geted the RET/PTC1 oncogene by siRNAs and asses-
sed the knockdown effects on cell growth and cell cycle
regulation, then we vectorized it because the biological

efficacy of the siRNAs is hampered by their short plas-
matic half-life due to poor stability in biological fluids
and by their low intracellular penetration due to their
highly hydrophilic character [15, 16].
Material and methods. The human TPC-1 cell li-
ne that harbours the RET/PTC1 rearrangement was
used. A siRNA targeted to H4/RET termed siRNA
RET/PTC1 was designed to knockdown RET/PTC1 in
the TPC-1 cells. It was transiently transfected in TPC-1
cells using Lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent.
Then, total RNA was extracted and first-strand cDNA
was generated with M-MLV (Reverse Transcription),
real time PCR Q-RT-PCR was used to assess the knock-
down efficiency.
Western blot was performed using Ret antibody and
β-actin was used as loading control. The siRNA RET/
PTC1 effects on cell cycle growth (MTT tests), cell cyc-
le (flow cytometry) and apoptosis (TUNEL method)
were studied (Fig. 1).

injections were performed for siRNA-SQ RET/ PTC1 or control] NPs at days 0, 2, 4, 7 and 10 at 2.5 mg/kg cumulative dose. ⇓: Mice were sacri-
ficed at day 19. The effects of siRNA-SQ RET/PTC1 NPs on tumour growth in nude mice are expressed relatively to tumour volume on day 1 ac-
cording to the following formula: tumour volume at day x/tumour volume at day 1. Bars correspond to the standard deviation for five mice. A
statistical difference was observed between treatments (p = 0.01) using the ANOVA test followed by Bonferroni test who showed a statistical
difference between siRNA-SQ RET/PTC1 NP and untreated tumours (saline), p = 0.013
For vectorization, a non cationic new approach for
the delivery of siRNA targeted toward the RET/PTC1
fusion oncogene; it is based on the concept of «squale-
noylation», consisting in the bio-conjugation of a drug
substance to squalene (SQ), a non ionic and biocom-
patible natural lipid [17, 18]. The acyclic isoprenoid
chain of squalene has been covalently coupled with
siRNA RET/PTC1 at the 3'-terminus of the sense strand
via maleimide-sulfhydryl chemistry. Nanoparticles we-
re obtained by precipitation in H2O. These nanopartic-
les were tested in vivo, on a mice xenografted RET/
PTC1 experimental model (Fig. 2).
Results and discussion. By Q-RT-PCR we found
that both siRET/PTC1 significantly reduced the RET/
PTC1 mRNA levels by approximately 80 %. MTT as-
say showed a significant decrease in the TPC-1 growth
rate in siRNA RET/PTC1-treated cells when compared
to untreated cells. Cell cycle progression analysis sho-
wed a significant increase of the S-phase in siRNAs-
treated cells when compared with the untreated cells.
Apoptotic cells were detected using TUNEL staining
and a fluorescence microscope. Comprehensive counts
showed a modest increase in apoptotic index of about
8.4 ± 1.5 % [19].
Then, we «squalenoylated» the siRNA RET/PTC1,
remarkably, the linkage of siRNA RET/PTC1 to squale-
ne led to amphiphilic molecule that self-organised in
H2O as siRNA-SQ RET/PTC1 nanoparticles (NPs). In
vivo, on a mice xenografted RET/PTC1, RET/PTC1-
SQ NPs were found to inhibit tumour growth and RET/
PTC1 oncogene and oncoprotein expression, after 2.5
mg/kg cumulative dose intravenous injections [20].
Conclusions. The siRNA RET/PTC1 designed is ef-
ficient and specific to RET/PTC1 oncogene, which
should open new prospects in treatments by siRNAs for
PTC or Hurthle thyroid tumours with RET/PTC1 juncti-
on. The «squalenoylation» offers a new non cationic pla-
te-form for the siRNA delivery. Further pharmacologi-
cal assays are needed both on cell cultures and in vivo
before to generalize this concept to other nucleic targets.
