Inhibition of Tumorigenesis by the Thyroid Hormone Receptor β in Xenograft Models

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Previous studies showed a close association between several types of human cancers and somatic mutations of thyroid hormone receptor β (TRβ) and reduced expression of TRβ due to epigenetic inactivation and/or deletion of the THRB gene. These observations suggest that TRβ could act as a tumor suppressor in carcinogenesis. However, the mechanisms by which TRβ could function to inhibit tumorigenesis are...
