Abstract excerpt
Thyroid papillary carcinomas are characterized by RET/PTC rearrangements that cause the tyrosine kinase domain of the RET receptor to fuse with N-terminal sequences encoded by heterologous genes. This results in the aberrant expression of a ligand-independent and constitutively active RET kinase. We analysed actin reorganization induced by the RET/PTC1 oncogene in PC Cl 3 rat thyroid epithelial cells. Differently...
