Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: BRAF mutations activate the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway and often confer an aggressive thyroid cancer (TC) phenotype. Spry2 is an inducible negative feedback regulator of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of Spry2 in TC. METHODS: TC cell lines were analyzed for Spry2 expression and MAPK pathway activation. Cells were...
