Interplay of TGFβ signaling and microRNA in thyroid cell loss of differentiation and cancer progression

ABSTRACT Thyroid cancer has been rapidly increasing in prevalence among humans in last 2 decades and is the most prevalent endocrine malignancy. Overall, thyroid-cancer patients have good rates of long-term survival, but a small percentage present poor outcome. Thyroid cancer aggressiveness is essentiall...

Diagnostic utility of DREAM gene mRNA levels in thyroid tumours

ABSTRACT Objective The transcriptional repressor DREAM is involved in thyroid-specific gene expression, thyroid enlargement and nodular development, but its clinical utility is still uncertain. In this study we aimed to investigate whether DREAM mRNA levels differ in different thyroid tumors and how thi...

NMR-based metabolomics to select a surgical method for treating papillary thyroid carcinoma

Clinics; 73 (), 2018
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate differences in the metabolomic profiles of patients who received different surgeries for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). METHODS: Two surgical methods, i.e., unilateral and total thyroidectomy, were employed according to different disease conditions. Sera fro...

Medullary thyroid carcinoma - Adverse events during systemic treatment: risk-benefit ratio

ABSTRACT Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare neuroendocrine tumor originating from parafollicular C cells of the thyroid and associated with mutations in the proto-oncogene REarranged during Transfection (RET). The prognosis of MTC depends on clinical stage, with a 95.6% 10-year survival rate amo...

Iodine-131 treatment of thyroid cancer cells leads to suppression of cell proliferation followed by induction of cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest by regulation of B-cell translocation gene 2-mediated JNK/NF-kappaB pathways

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 50 (1), 2017
Iodine-131 (131I) is widely used for the treatment of thyroid-related diseases. This study aimed to investigate the expression of p53 and BTG2 genes following 131I therapy in thyroid cancer cell line SW579 and the possible underlying mechanism. SW579 human thyroid squamous carcinoma cells were cultured a...

Açöes do 17B-estradiol sobre a secreçäo de calcitonina "in vitro"
Action of 17B-estradiol on calcitonin secretion \"in vitro\"

Em doses farmacológicas a Calcitonina (CT) é tida como um hormônio poupador de cálcio (Ca) e protetor da massa óssea. Devido a isto, tem sido utilizada como alternativa terapêutica das osteoporose pós-menopáusica, doença de grande prevalência entre as mulheres. O papel da CT no desenvolvimento ...
