Published: July 2013

The anti-metastatic effect of curcumin on papillary thyroid cancer K1 cells and its underlying mechanisms were investigated. Curcumin at 12.5, 25 and 50 μM promoted mesenchymal-epithelial transition and decreased the migration rate of K1 cells by 24-87%. Its mechanism may involve the up-regulation of E-cadherin expression levels and down-regulation of the activity and expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9.

Background: Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma (PTC) is the most common thyroid cancer, with an etiology and progression that are not fully understood. Research suggests a link between cathepsins and PTC, but the causal nature of this link is unclear. This study uses Mendelian Randomization (MR) to investigate if cathepsins causally influence PTC risk.

OTU domain-containing protein 3 (OTUD3) is a crucial deubiquitinase that exhibits significant expression differences across various disease models. OTUD3 plays a role in regulating biological functions such as apoptosis, inflammatory responses, cell cycle, proliferation, and invasion in different cell types. By deubiquitinating key substrate proteins, OTUD3 is involved in essential physiological and pathological processes, including innate antiviral immunity, neural development, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer.

Previous studies suggested a relationship between obesity and a high risk of thyroid cancer. However, the association between high body mass index (BMI) and the aggressiveness of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is controversial. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of excess BMI on histopathologic aggressiveness of PTC in a Chinese population.

Purpose: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial regulatory roles in the tumorigenesis and progression of various cancers. However, the functional roles of lncRNAs in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the functional role of the lncRNA FAM111A-DT in PTC progression and the underlying mechanisms.
