Immunohistochemical analysis of thyroid‐specific transcription factors in thyroid tumors
12 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
Thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF1), thyroid transcription factor 2 (TTF2) and paired box gene 8 (Pax8) are demonstrated to play a crucial role for the differentiation and organogenesis of thyroid follicular cells. Their roles in thyroid carcinogenesis are not very clear. Because dedifferentiation is a common process in thyroid carcinogenesis, thyroid-specific transcription factors seem also to be involving in...
