Abstract excerpt
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 syndrome caused by mutations in extracellular receptor or intracellular kinase domains of the RET proto-oncogene. Activation of the Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK pathway can lead to growth arrest by secreting leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) in MTC cells harboring a RET receptor domain mutation. Here, we report that Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK can also mediate, via...
