Reactivation of the Silenced Thyroid Hormone Receptor β Gene Expression Delays Thyroid Tumor Progression
27 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
That a knock-in mouse harboring a dominant-negative thyroid hormone receptor (TR)-β (Thrb) mutation develops metastatic thyroid cancer strongly suggests the involvement of TRβ in carcinogenesis. Epigenetic silencing of the THRB gene is common in human cancers. The aim of the present study was to determine how DNA methylation affected the expression of the THRB gene in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) and how...
