Abstract excerpt
AIM: The aim of the study was to investigate the expression and function of the IG20 gene in thyroid cancer cell survival, proliferation, and apoptosis. METHODS: We determined the expression levels of the major isoforms of IG20 by quantitative RT-PCR in normal and thyroid tumor tissues/cell lines. We evaluated the functional consequence of IG20 knockdown in WRO (follicular carcinoma) and FRO (anaplastic...
