Inverse Correlation of miRNA and Cell Cycle-Associated Genes Suggests Influence of miRNA on Benign Thyroid Nodule Tumorigenesis
9 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: The molecular etiology of cold and benign thyroid nodules (CBTNs) is largely unknown. Increased thyroid epithelial cell proliferation is a hallmark of CBTNs. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are prominent regulators of cell proliferation. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to assess the influence of miRNAs on the increased proliferation and thus the molecular etiology of CBTNs. DESIGN: By using microarrays, we defined the...
