The thyroid hormone receptor on
the extracellular domain of avb3
binds L-thyroxine (T4), 3,5,3’triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) and
tetraiodothyroacetic acid (tetrac), a
deaminated T4 analogue. Tetrac
blocks binding of T4 and T3 to the
integrin and has an array of anticancer and anti-angiogenic
properties at avb3 that are
independent of its inhibition of T4and T3-binding to the integrin.

Tetrac
Because unmodified tetrac is a
thyromimetic within cells, we reformulated the analogue by
covalently binding it via a linker to
200 nm PLGA (poly[lactic-coglycolic acid]) nanoparticles which
limit its activities to the cell surface
hormone-tetrac receptor on integrin
avb3.

At the integrin, Nanotetrac
regulates via signal transducing
kinases the expression of a variety
of cancer-relevant and angiogenesis-relevant genes. Nanotetrac
disrupts crosstalk between avb3
and adjacent vascular growth factor
receptors (VEGFR, bFGFR,
PDGFR, EGFR). Nanotetrac
blocks radiation-induced activation
of the integrin and controls plasma
membrane ion transporters, e.g.,
NHE1, important to pHi and pHe.

Nanotetrac has been effective
against xenografts of human
glioma/glioblastoma, breast,
prostate, pancreatic, kidney,
(NSCLC and non-small cell) lung,
colon and thyroid cells.
• The anti-angiogenic properties of
Nanotetrac involve vascular growth
factor gene expression (VEGFA,
bFGF), growth factor receptor gene
expression (EGFR), interaction of
growth factors (VEGF, bFGF,
PDGF, EGF) with their specific cell
surface receptors, release of
vascular growth factors (bFGF),
expression of the cancer cell
THBS1 (TSP1) gene and
endothelial cell motility. This is a
broadly-based set of antiangiogenic actions.

Actions of tetrac initiated nongenomically at avb3
culminate in a complex of genomic and nongenomic
effects on proliferation.
Summary
• Integrin avb3 contains a cell
surface receptor for T4, T3.
• Tetrac and nanoparticulate tetrac
inhibit agonist hormone action at
the receptor and are probes for
contributions of the receptor.
• In vitro, T4, T3 act at the integrin
receptor via ERK1/2 to support
tumor cell proliferation (breast,
glioma, head-and-neck, thyroid,
ovary, pancreas, kidney, lung,
prostate) and angiogenesis;
tetrac and Nanotetrac block
these actions.
Summary 2
• Acting via the cell surface
receptor on avb3, Nanotetrac
coherently modulates expression
of multiple genes relevant to
tumor cell survival.
• Receptor-initiated actions of
thyroid hormone analogues also
include modulation of crosstalk
between the integrin and nearby
vascular growth factor receptors
and crosstalk with nuclear
hormone receptor proteins, such
as ERa.
Summary 3
• Nanotetrac also blocks tumor cell
repair of radiation-induced doublestrand DNA breaks
• Nanotetrac prolongs intracellular
residence time of doxorubicin,
etoposide and cisplatin, apparently
via NHE1 and consequent
alterations in pHi and pHe that
affect P-glycoprotein and organic
cation transporter function.

Integrins are 24 heterodimeric
structural proteins of the plasma
membrane that are critical to cellcell and cell-ECM matrix protein
interactions. Integrin avb3 binds
protein molecules—vitronectin,
fibronectin, osteopontin—and
recently has been appreciated to
bind small molecules. The latter
include thyroid hormone and its
analogues, resveratrol and
dihydrotestosterone.
