Resumen[Background]: DICER1 plays a central role in microRNA biogenesis and functions as a tumor suppressor in thyroid cancer, which is the most frequent endocrine malignancy with a rapidly increasing incidence. Thyroid cancer progression is associated with loss of cell differentiation and reduced expression of thyroid differentiation genes and response to thyrotropin (TSH). Here we investigated whether a molecular link exists between DICER1 and thyroid differentiation pathways. [Methods]: We used bioinformatic tools to search for transcription factor binding sites in the DICER1 promoter. DICER1, NKX2-1, PAX8, and CREB expression levels were evaluated by gene and protein expression in vitro and by interrogation of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) thyroid cancer data. Transcription factor binding and activity were assayed by chromatin immunoprecipitation, band-shift analysis, and promoter–reporter gene activity. Gene-silencing and overexpression approaches were used to elucidate the functional link between DICER1 and differentiation. [Results]: We identified binding sites for NKX2-1 and CREB within the DICER1 promoter and found that both transcription factors are functional in thyroid cells. TSH induced DICER1 expression in differentiated thyroid cells, at least in part, through the cAMP/PKA/CREB pathway. TCGA analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between CREB and DICER1 expression in human thyroid tumors. NKX2-1 overexpression increased DICER1 promoter activity and expression in vitro, and this was significantly greater in the presence of CREB and/or PAX8. Gain- and loss-of-function assays revealed that DICER1 regulates NKX2-1 expression in thyroid tumor cells and vice versa, thus establishing a positive feedback loop between both proteins. We also found a positive correlation between NKX2-1 and DICER1 expression in human thyroid tumors. DICER1 silencing decreased PAX8 expression and, importantly, the expression and activity of the sodium iodide symporter, which is essential for the diagnostic and therapeutic use of radioiodine in thyroid cancer. [Conclusions]: The differentiation transcription factors NKX2.1, PAX8, and CREB act in a positive feedback loop with DICER1. As the expression of these transcription factors is markedly diminished in thyroid cancer, our findings suggest that DICER1 downregulation in this cancer is mediated, at least partly, through impairment of its transcription.
