Abstract excerpt
Thyrocytes largely depend on cAMP signaling for replication and differentiation. This pathway may be constitutively activated by mutations of the TSH receptor (TSHR) and Gsalpha in autonomous thyroid adenomas (ATAs). Because steady state cAMP results from production by adenylyl cyclase and degradation by phosphodiesterases (PDEs), we evaluated PDE activity and expression in ATAs with wild-type and mutant TSHR and...
