Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the expression of tight junction proteins (occludin and claudins) in various types of thyroid tumors, revealing changes in their expression levels that may relate to cancer progression.
- Both occludin and claudins (1, 4, and 7) showed variable expression across different thyroid neoplasms, with occludin prominently found in vesicles and claudins primarily in membranes.
- Notably, lower claudin-1 expression was linked to poorer disease-free survival, highlighting the potential significance of these proteins in thyroid carcinogenesis and their role in tumor differentiation.
