Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Periostin expression is a feature of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, which occurs during cancer progression. Previous reports indicate that periostin expression is related to tumour aggressiveness. METHODS: In order to identify mechanisms regulating periostin expression in thyroid cancer, a panel of continuous thyroid cancer cell lines was investigated. Levels of posttranslational modifications...
