Our study reveals a low prevalence of GPCR-mediated PI3K pathway mutations both in pediatric and adult DTCs corroborating the TCGA data and suggests a significant role of this pathway only in a small portion of DTCs.
Elevated miR-222 and miR-146 levels are associated with poorer outcomes of the disease and may have a prognostic value in the management and follow-up of DTC.
Determination of effective half-life of <sup>131</sup>I in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma: comparison of cystatin C and creatinine-based estimation of renal function.

As excess weight is a state of chronic inflammation, we investigated the relationship between concentrations of leptin, adiponectin, C-reactive protein, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and the risk of TC.
The clinicopathologic characteristics of CCV-PTC and the paraneoplastic syndromes in follicular cell differentiated thyroid carcinoma were further summarized using literature review.
L-GILZ protein was highly expressed in well-differentiated cancer cells from thyroid cancer patients and differentiated thyroid cancer cell lines, but poorly expressed in anaplastic tumors.
We examined EZH2 protein expression by immunohistochemistry in tissue samples from 67 cases of poorly differentiated (PDTC) and 48 cases of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC), and in samples of adjacent normal and differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC).
Furthermore, we noted that the SPINT1 expression was associated with extrathyroidal invasion, lymphovascular invasion, lymph node metastasis, advanced TNM stage, and a higher risk of recurrence in differentiated thyroid cancer.
The highest C-index value (0.933) and the lowest AIC value (9362.687) obtained indicated that the PLNN better predicted the CSS of DTC than did the LNR or LNE.
A moderate coupling of downregulation of HOPX-β mRNA expression in DTC followed by high HOPX-β promoter methylation was observed however; high HOPX promoter methylation status was associated with the worse prognosis of DTC patients.
Concentrations of plasma lipids and apolipoproteins, paraoxonase-1 activity, and cholesterol efflux were measured in 27 patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma who underwent total thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment, at 3 distinct times: After surgery (baseline subclinical hyperthyroid state), on the day of undergoing RAI treatment (overt hypothyroid state), and 3 months post-RAI treatment (subclinical hyperthyroid state).
When PATZ1 was silenced in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) cell lines (TPC-1 and FTC-133), proliferation, cellular motility, and expression of uPA and MMPs were significantly increased.
We used a multivariable logistic regression model to study the role of PIGU in the response to RAI treatment in advanced DTC.All statistical tests were two-sided.
To identify additional candidate genes of CS and potentially DTC, we analysed a multi-generation CS-like family with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), applying a combined linkage-based and whole-genome sequencing strategy and identified an in-frame germline compound heterozygous deletion, p.[Gln1478del];[Gln1476-Gln1478del] in USF3 (previously known as KIAA2018).
Our findings demonstrate that upregulation of the R-spondin 2-GPR48/LGR4 pathway contributes to tumor aggressiveness in papillary thyroid carcinoma by promoting ERK phosphorylation, suggesting that this pathway represents a novel therapeutic target for treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer.
When PATZ1 was silenced in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) cell lines (TPC-1 and FTC-133), proliferation, cellular motility, and expression of uPA and MMPs were significantly increased.
