Abstract excerpt
In contrast to its growth-inhibitory effect on primary mesenchymal cells, RAS oncogene activation induces a proliferative phenotype in normal human thyroid epithelial cells in vitro, consistent with its putative role in tumour initiation. Using this model, we previously showed that activation of the MAP kinase (MAPK) pathway is necessary, but not sufficient for the proliferative response to mutant (V12) H-RAS....
