Article Synopsis
  • USP4 is an oncogenic factor that is highly expressed in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) tumors and is linked to aggressive features and poor prognosis.
  • Silencing USP4 significantly reduces the proliferation of PTC cells and reveals its role in stabilizing the LDHA protein through deubiquitination.
  • The study highlights the USP4/LDHA interaction as crucial for PTC progression via the modulation of MAPK and AKT signaling pathways, suggesting USP4 as a potential target for therapy.

Thyroid cancer has become the most frequent endocrine-related malignancy. Currently, a mounting body of evidences support the clinical strategies for extending the benefit of PARP inhibitors beyond BRCA-mutant cancers. However, the functions and molecular mechanisms of PARP inhibitors in thyroid cancers (TCs) are not fully understood.

Introduction: Papillary thyroid carcinoma is a type of thyroid cancer that exhibits significant variability in prognosis. Extensive research indicates that the impaired signaling of 1,25(OH)2D3-VDR may be a crucial factor in the development and progression of PTC.

Methods: To investigate this further, Integrated analysis mRNA expression information from The Cancer Genome Atlas and GEO, we compared gene expression in cancer and normal tissues and identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs).

Background: Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare type of thyroid cancer; however, it accounted for 13.4% of the disease-specific mortalities. ALTER01031 (NCT02586350) was a randomised, placebo-controlled phase 2b trial that evaluated the efficacy and safety of anlotinib in locally advanced or metastatic MTC.

Epidemiological and animal experimental studies suggest an association between gestational cholestasis and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Here, we explored the mechanism through which gestational cholestasis induced IUGR. To establish gestational cholestasis model, pregnant mice were subcutaneously injected with 17α-Ethynylestradiol (E2) on gestational day 13 (GD13)-GD17.

BRAF V600E is the most common genetic alteration in thyroid cancer and is indicative of a relatively poor prognosis. A selective inhibitor of BRAF V600E has been proposed as a novel treatment for patients with thyroid cancer exhibiting BRAF V600E mutations. However, this inhibitor has demonstrated a limited therapeutic effect.

Recent studies suggest that aberrant expression of miR-24 is linked to various human cancers, including tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC). F-box and WD-40 domain protein 7 (FBXW7), a tumor-suppressor gene, is responsible for the degradation of several proto-oncogenes. However, the function and mechanism of miR-24 and FBXW7 in TSCC remains unclear.

Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most rapidly increasing endocrine malignancy worldwide. Although less aggressive than the majority malignancies, PTC exhibits extensive cervical lymph node metastasis in early stage of PTC. However, the underlying molecular mechanism of this early-metastasis remains unknown.

Objective: To explore the clinical features and the combined treatment modality of Hurthle cell thyroid tumor (HCT).

Methods: Twenty-eight cases of HCT treated between 2001 and 2009 were analyzed retrospectively.

Results: The age of the patients ranged from 18 to 72 years (with a median of 46.
