Expression of apoptosis-related proteins in thyroid tumors and thyroid carcinoma cell lines
Abstract
Whereas in normal human thyroid tissue total cell mass is maintained by a balance between cell proliferation and apoptosis, the programmed cell death, in thyroid tumors this equilibrium is disrupted. In tumor cells, an augmented proliferation rate is no longer counterbalanced by an equally enhanced apoptosis resulting in an increased netto growth rate. To investigate regulation of apoptosis in thyroid tumors, we analyzed the expression of …
