This research was done to find out how liraglutide affected the growth and movement of two human thyroid cancer cell lines overexpressing GLP-1 receptor (migration of medullary thyroid cancer TT/GLP-1R and papillary thyroid carcinoma TCP-1/GLP-1R). Flow cytometer and cAMP assays were used to identify the expression and activation of GLP-1R in two stable cell lines. Counting Kit-8 for Cells was applied to examine the proliferative ability of cells in two stable cell lines after treatment with different concentrations of liraglutide at indicated time points. To track the capacity for cell migration, the Transwell test was utilized. We found that liralutide-activated GLP-1R could significantly reduce the growth and metastasis of two kinds of thyroid tumor cells, and the inhibitory effect was dose- and time- dependent. The phosphorylatios of Akt, S6K1, and 70SK declined after receiving liraglutide therapy In our previous studies, we found that the GLP-1 receptor agonist Liraglutide inhibited the proliferation and migration of thyroid cancer cells through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. This finding provides a theoretical basis for the treatment of diabetes mellitus complicated with medullary thyroid cancer, and is relatively safe.

Purpose: Age stratification influences the clinicopathological features and survival outcomes of breast cancer. We aimed to understand the effect of age on gene variants in young Chinese women with breast cancer compared with those from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).
Methods: Enrolled patients ≤ 40 years old (N = 370) underwent germline or somatic genetic testing using a 32-gene hereditary cancer panel at Fujian Union Hospital.

Introduction: Until now, the thyroid cancer case number has increased, and it is not entirely possible to attribute this continuous growth to more meticulous thyroid nodule selection and more accurate diagnostic techniques. While there is currently no conclusive evidence linking dietary factors to thyroid cancer, certain dietary patterns seem to have an impact on the development of the disease. There are interesting connections among diet, environment, metabolism and thyroid carcinogenesis; a deeper comprehension of the underlying mechanisms should help the identification of modifiable risk factors for thyroid cancer.

Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) generally has a favorable prognosis, and radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy is typically used for metastatic DTC that continues to progress and poses life-threatening risks. However, resistance to RAI in metastatic DTC significantly impairs treatment effectiveness. This study aims to identify potential compounds that may influence RAI efficacy.

Objective: Circulating protein level ratios (CPLRs) may play a crucial role in tumor progression and drug resistance by mediating interactions within the tumor microenvironment. This study aims to investigate the causal associations between CPLRs and papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), focusing on their potential implications in drug resistance mechanisms.
Methods: Genetic data for 2821 CPLRs were obtained from the GWAS and FinnGen databases.
