MicroRNA-3690 promotes cell proliferation and cell cycle progression by altering DKK3 expression in human thyroid cancer.

An increasing amount of evidence has demonstrated the importance of microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) in the tumorigenesis of malignant types of cancer, and data retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas database revealed that miR-3690 was upregulated in thyroid cancer (TC). The present study focused on the biological function and mechanism of miR-3690 in TC, demonstrating that miR-3690 expression was significantly elevated in TC cells and clinical tissues. Functional studies indicated that miR-3690 acted as an oncogene in TC by promoting cell proliferation, colony formation and cell cycle progression in association with the increased expression of cyclin E and c-myc.

ALDH5A1 acts as a tumour promoter and has a prognostic impact in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine carcinoma, with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) accounting for 80%-90% of thyroid cancers. Accumulating studies reported that mitochondria plays an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation. ALDH5A1, may function as an oncogene or tumour suppressor in various human cancers, and the role of ALDH5A1 in PTC is still unclear.

Potential five-mRNA signature model for the prediction of prognosis in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Although the mortality rate of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is relatively low, the recurrence rates of PTC remain high. The high recurrence rates are related to the difficulties in treatment. Gene expression profiles has provided novel insights into potential therapeutic targets and molecular biomarkers of PTC.

Prognostic implications of the BRAF-V600 mutation in papillary thyroid carcinoma based on a new cut-off age stratification.

The BRAF-V600 mutation is the most common and specific oncogenic event known in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). However, it remains controversial whether there is an association between the BRAF-V600 mutation and clinicopathologically aggressive characteristics of PTC. The purpose of the present retrospective study was to investigate the significance of the BRAF-V600 mutation in predicting prognostic and aggressive clinicopathological characteristics according to a new age-based stratification.

Genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screening in gastrointestinal stromal tumor with Imatinib resistance.
