摘要

Poorly differentiated thyroid cancer (PDTC) and anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) present major challenges in treatment owing to extreme aggressiveness and high heterogeneity. In this study, deep-scale analyses spanning genomic, proteomic, and phosphoproteomic data are performed on 348 thyroid-cancer and 119 tumor-adjacent samples. TP53 (48%), TERT promoter (36.5%), and BRAF (23%) are most frequently mutated in PDTC and ATC. Ribosome biogenesis is identified as a common hallmark of ATC, and RRP9 silencing dramatically inhibits tumor growth. Proteomic clustering identified three ATC/PDTC subtypes. Pro-I subtype is characterized with aberrant insulin signaling and low immune cell infiltration, and Pro-II is featured with DNA repair signaling, while Pro-III harbors high frequency of TP53 and BRAF mutation and intensive C5AR1+ myeloid infiltration. Targeting C5AR1 synergistically improves antitumor effect of PD-1 blockade against ATC cell-derived tumors. These findings provide systematic insights into tumor biology and opportunities for drug discovery, accelerating precision therapy for virulent thyroid cancers.
