Abstract
Thyroid cancer is one of the deadliest endocrine cancers, and its incidence has been increasing. While mutations in BRAF are common in thyroid cancer, advanced PTC patients currently lack therapeutic options targeting the MAPK pathway, and despite the approved combination of BRAF and MEK1/2 inhibition for BRAF-mutant ATC, resistance often occurs. Here, we assess growth and signaling responses to combined BRAF and MEK1/2 inhibition in a panel of BRAF-mutant thyroid cancer cell lines. We first showed that combined BRAF and MEK1/2 inhibition synergistically inhibits cell growth in four out of six of the -BRAF-mutant thyroid cancer cell lines tested. Western blotting showed that the MAPK pathway was robustly inhibited in all cell lines. Therefore, to identify potential mechanisms of resistance, we performed RNA-sequencing in cells sensitive or resistant to MEK1/2 inhibition. In response to MEK1/2 inhibition, we identified a downregulation of Aurora Kinase B (AURKB) in sensitive but not resistant cells. We further demonstrated that combined MEK1/2 and AURKB inhibition slowed cell growth, which was phenocopied by inhibiting AURKB and ERK1/2. Finally, we show that combined AURKB and ERK1/2 inhibition induces apoptosis in BRAF-mutant thyroid cancer cell lines, together suggesting a potential combination therapy for BRAF-mutant thyroid cancer patients.

Abstract
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a rare and aggressive disease with 90% of patients succumbing to this disease 1 year after diagnosis. The approval of the combination therapy of a BRAF inhibitor dabrafenib with the MEK1/2 inhibitor trametinib has improved the overall survival of ATC patients. However, resistance to therapy remains a major problem. We have previously demonstrated combined inhibition of Src with dasatinib and MEK1/2 with trametinib synergistically inhibits growth and induces apoptosis in BRAF- and RAS-mutant thyroid cancer cells, however PIK3CA-mutant cells exhibit a mixed response. Herein, we determined that AKT is not a major mediator of sensitivity and instead PIK3CA-mutants that are resistant to combined dasatinib and trametinib have sustained activation of PDK1 signaling. Furthermore, combined inhibition of PDK1 and MEK1/2 was sufficient to reduce cell viability. These data indicate PDK1 inhibition is a therapeutic option for PIK3CA mutations that do not respond to combined Src and MEK1/2 inhibition.

Abstract
Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine neoplasm, and despite its overall high survival rate, patients with metastatic disease or tumors that resist radioactive iodine experience a significantly worse prognosis. Helping these patients requires a better understanding of how therapeutics alter cellular function. Here, we describe the change in metabolite profiles after treating thyroid cancer cells with the kinase inhibitors dasatinib and trametinib. We reveal alterations to glycolysis, the TCA cycle, and amino acid levels. We also highlight how these drugs promote short-term accumulation of the tumor-suppressive metabolite 2-oxoglutarate, and demonstrate that it reduces the viability of thyroid cancer cells in vitro. These results show that kinase inhibition profoundly alters the metabolome of cancer cells and highlight the need to better understand how therapeutics reprogram metabolic processes, and ultimately, cancer cell behavior.

Abstract
Patients with advanced thyroid cancer, including advanced papillary thyroid cancer and anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC), have low survival rates because of the lack of efficient therapies available that can combat their aggressiveness. A total of 90% of thyroid cancers have identifiable driver mutations, which often are components of the MAPK pathway, including BRAF, RAS, and RET-fusions. In addition, Src is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that is overexpressed and activated in thyroid cancer, which we and others have shown is a clinically relevant target. We have previously demonstrated that combined inhibition of Src with dasatinib and the MAPK pathway with trametinib synergistically inhibits growth and induces apoptosis in BRAF- and RAS-mutant thyroid cancer cells. Herein, we identified the pro-apoptotic protein BCL2L11 (BIM) as being a key mediator of sensitivity in response to combined dasatinib and trametinib treatment. Specifically, cells that are sensitive to combined dasatinib and trametinib treatment have inhibition of FAK/Src, MEK/ERK, and AKT, resulting in the dramatic upregulation of BIM, while cells that are resistant lack inhibition of AKT and have a dampened induction of BIM. Inhibition of AKT directly sensitizes resistant cells to combined dasatinib and trametinib but will not be clinically feasible. Importantly, targeting BCL-XL with the BH3-mimeitc ABT-263 is sufficient to overcome lack of BIM induction and sensitize resistant cells to combined dasatinib and trametinib treatment. This study provides evidence that combined Src and MEK1/2 inhibition is a promising therapeutic option for patients with advanced thyroid cancer and identifies BIM induction as a potential biomarker of response.

Abstract
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) represents one of the most lethal human cancers and although this tumor type is rare, ATC accounts for the majority of deaths from thyroid cancer. Due to the rarity of ATC, a comprehensive genomic characterization of this tumor type has been challenging, and thus the development of new therapies has been lacking. To date, there is only one mutation-driven targeted therapy for BRAF-mutant ATC. Recent genomic studies have used next generation sequencing to define the genetic landscape of ATC in order to identify new therapeutic targets. Together, these studies have confirmed the role of oncogenic mutations of MAPK pathway as key drivers of differentiated thyroid cancer (BRAF, RAS), and that additional genetic alterations in the PI3K pathway, TP53, and the TERT promoter are necessary for anaplastic transformation. Recent novel findings have linked the high mutational burden associated with ATC with mutations in the Mismatch Repair (MMR) pathway and overactivity of the AID/APOBEC family of cytidine deaminases. Additional novel mutations include cell cycle genes, SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, and histone modification genes. Mutations in RAC1 were also identified in ATC, which have important implications for BRAF-directed therapies. In this review, we summarize these novel findings and the new genetic landscape of ATC. We further discuss the development of therapies targeting these pathways that are being tested in clinical and preclinical studies.

Abstract
Advanced stages of papillary and anaplastic thyroid cancer continue to be plagued by a dismal prognosis, which is a result of limited effective therapies for these cancers. Due to the high proportion of thyroid cancers harboring mutations in the MAPK pathway, the MAPK pathway has become a focal point for therapeutic intervention in thyroid cancer. Unfortunately, unlike melanoma, a similar responsiveness to MAPK pathway inhibition has yet to be observed in thyroid cancer patients. To address this issue, we have focused on targeting the non-receptor tyrosine kinase, Src, and we and others have demonstrated that targeting Src results in inhibition of growth, invasion, and migration both in vitro and in vivo, which can be enhanced through the combined inhibition of Src and the MAPK pathway. Therefore, we examined the efficacy of the combination therapy across a panel of thyroid cancer cell lines representing common oncogenic drivers (BRAF, RAS, and PIK3CA). Interestingly, combined inhibition of Src and the MAPK pathway overcomes intrinsic dasatinib resistance in cell lines where both the MAPK and PI3K pathways are inhibited, which we show is likely due to the regulation of the PI3K pathway by Src in these responsive cells. Interestingly, we have mapped downstream phosphorylation of rpS6 as a key biomarker of response, and cells that maintain rpS6 phosphorylation likely represent drug tolerant persisters. Altogether, the combined inhibition of Src and the MAPK pathway holds great promise for improving the overall survival of advanced thyroid cancer patients with BRAF and RAS mutations, and activation of the PI3K pathway and rpS6 phosphorylation represent important biomarkers of response for patients treated with this therapy.

Abstract
The BreastScreen Queensland Brisbane Southside BreastScreen Service reports on a study of 10 cases of bilateral breast carcinomas from a total cancer population of 217 cases. All cases were patients of screening examinations that were recalled for a suspicious lesion in one breast. Two cases were mammographically suspicious of bilateral tumours. In eight cases, tumours were ultrasonically visible in both breasts and in two further cases, the suspicion of bilateral malignancy was raised by the presence of bilateral microcalcification. It is not the purpose of this paper to provide a statistical analysis of the occurrence of bilateral breast cancer. This is a radiological paper from a breast screening service reporting on findings that conventional wisdom may find unusual. The incidence of bilateral breast malignancy in the study was found to be somewhat higher than expected. These cases have been diagnosed by the utilization of a particularly high standard of ultrasound and mammography, performed and interpreted by diagnosticians possessing an elevated level of suspicion of the possible presence of a second primary lesion. It is therefore proposed that an increased rate of diagnosis of bilateral tumours is possible with an evolution of assessment protocols, combined with quality ultrasound and mammography.

Abstract
Conductive hearing loss produced by middle ear disease (MED) is very prevalent in the first 5 years of childhood. Both MED in children and prolonged ear plugging in animals lead to a binaural hearing impairment that persists beyond the duration of the peripheral impairment. However, after cessation of the MED, or removal of the ear plug, binaural hearing gradually improves. We suggest here that this improvement is a passive form of auditory learning. We also show that active auditory learning, through repetition of discrimination tasks, can accelerate performance increments, both after hearing loss and in unimpaired individuals. A more detailed understanding of auditory learning holds out the prospect of improving rehabilitation strategies for the language- and hearing-impaired.

Abstract
This study examined the effect of center frequency and level on the perceptual grouping of rapid tone sequences. The sequence ABA-ABA-...was used, where A and B represent sinusoidal tone bursts (10-ms rise/fall, 80-ms steady state, 20-ms interval between tones) and - represents a silent interval of 120 ms. In experiment 1, tone A was fixed in frequency at 62, 125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, 6000, or 8000 Hz. Both tones had a level of approximately 40 dB SL. Tone B started with a frequency well above that of tone A, and its frequency was swept toward that of tone A so that the frequency separation between them decreased in an exponential manner. Subjects were required to indicate when they could no longer hear the tones A and B as two separate streams, but heard only a single stream with a "gallop" rhythm. This changeover point between percepts is called the fission boundary. The separation between tones A and B at the fission boundary was roughly independent of the frequency of tone A when expressed as the difference in number of equivalent rectangular bandwidths (ERBs) between A and B, but varied more with frequency when the difference was expressed in barks or cents. In experiment 2, the center frequency was fixed at 250, 1000, or 4000 Hz, and the level of the A and B tones was 40, 55, 70, or 85 dB SPL. The frequency separation of the A and B tones at the fission boundary tended to increase slightly with increasing level, in a manner consistent with the broadening of the auditory filter with increasing level. The results support the "peripheral channeling" explanation of stream segregation advanced by Hartmann and Johnson [Music Percept. 9, 155-184 (1991)], and indicate that the perception of fusion or fission in alternating-tone sequences depends partly upon the degree of overlap of the excitation patterns evoked by the successive sounds in the cochlea, as assumed in the theory of Beauvois and Meddis [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 99, 2270-2280 (1996)].

Abstract
This study examined the perceptual grouping of rapid tone sequences for listeners with normal hearing and listeners with unilateral and bilateral cochlear hearing loss. The sequence ABA-ABA- was used, where A and B represent sinusoidal tones bursts (10-ms rise/fall, 80-ms steady state, 20-ms interval between tones) and - represents a silent interval of 120 ms. Tone A was fixed in frequency at 250, 500, 1000, or 2000 Hz. Tone B started with a frequency well above or below that of tone A, and its frequency was swept towards that of tone A so that the frequency separation between them decreased in an exponential manner. Listeners were required to indicate when they could no longer hear the tones A and B as two separate streams, but heard only a single stream with a "gallop" rhythm. This is called the fission boundary. For the normally hearing listeners, the separation between tones A and B at the fission boundary was roughly independent of the frequency of tone A when expressed as the difference in number of ERBs (delta E) between A and B, which is consistent with a recent model of stream segregation [M. W. Beauvois and R. Meddis, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 99, 2270-2280 (1996)]. For the unilaterally hearing-impaired listeners, there was no consistent difference in the delta E magnitudes across ears, even though the auditory filters were broader in the impaired ears. This is not consistent with the theory of Beauvois and Meddis. The bilaterally hearing-impaired listeners sometimes showed delta E magnitudes within the normal range, and sometimes showed larger than normal delta E magnitudes. The results are discussed in terms of the factors that might influence perceptual stream formation in hearing-impaired listeners.
