High frequency of rearrangement of the RET protooncogene (RET/PTC) in Chinese papillary thyroid carcinomas.
The activation of RET protooncogene, through chromosomal translocation, is unique to papillary thyroid carcinomas. Rearrangement of the RET kinase domain to 3 partner genes has been described, of which the RET/PTC1 is the most common. To investigate the frequency of RET rearrangement in Chinese papillary thyroid carcinomas, we have performed RT-PCR to amplify specific RET/PTC transcripts. Among...
متن کاملSorafenib potently inhibits papillary thyroid carcinomas harboring RET/PTC1 rearrangement.
PURPOSE Papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC) are the most common type of thyroid malignancy with one of the two mutations, RET/PTC rearrangement or BRAF mutation. Both mutations are able to activate the MEK/ERK signaling transduction pathway and result in the activation of transcription factors that regulate cellular proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Sorafenib (Nexavar, BAY 43-9006) ...
متن کاملHOOK3-RET: a novel type of RET/PTC rearrangement in papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Chromosomal rearrangements of the RET proto-oncogene (RET/PTC) are the common feature of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). In this study, we report the identification, cloning, and functional characterization of a novel type of RET/PTC rearrangement that results from the fusion of the 3'-portion of RET coding for the tyrosine kinase (TK) domain of the receptor to the 5'-portion of the Homo sap...
متن کاملFrequent activation of ret protooncogene by fusion with a new activating gene in papillary thyroid carcinomas.
Tumor specific rearrangements of ret gene are frequently detected in papillary thyroid carcinomas. These rearrangements result in the formation of chimeric genes showing the tyrosine kinase domain of ret fused with the 5' end sequences of different genes. We examined a series of 52 patients and identified 10 cases of ret fusion with D10S170 locus resulting in the generation of ret/PTC1 oncogene...
متن کاملthe impact of musical texts on the text recall of young learners of english in isfahan junior high schools
abstract although music possesses some kind of power and using it has been welcome by many students in language classrooms, it seems that they take a non-serious image of the lesson while listening to songs and they may think that it is a matter of fun. the main objective of the present study was to investigate whether learning a foreign language through musical texts (songs) can have an impac...
