Project description:Identification of a stable gene expression signature with high classifying potential to discriminate post-radiotherapy-induced thyroid tumors (follicular adenomas and papillary carcinomas) from their sporadic counterparts.
Project description:Although most thyroid tumours are benign, thyroid cancer represents the most common malignancy of the endocrine system, comprising mainly follicular and papillary thyroid carcinomas (FTC and PTC, respectively). Previous studies have shed some light on the molecular pathogenesis of thyroid cancer but there have not been any comprehensive mass spectrometry-based proteomic studies to reveal protein expression differences between thyroid tumours and the molecular alterations associated with tumour malignancy. We applied a label-free quantitative mass spectrometry analysis to compare normal thyroid tissue with the three most common tumours of the thyroid gland: follicular adenoma, follicular carcinoma and papillary carcinoma.
Project description:Experiment a) Establishment of expression profiles in conventional papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs) with a BRAF mutation vs. PTCs without a BRAF mutation and using normal thyroid (TN) specimens as reference. Experiment b) Establishment of expression profiles in follicular adenomas (FAs) of the thyroid and follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinomas (FVPTCs).
Project description:Sixty-nine (69) tumor samples were collected from patients who underwent thyroidectomy.<br><br>The tumors included 22 benign follicular adenomas, 18 follicular carcinomas, 12 samples of microfollicular adenomas, 4 anaplastic carcinomas, 2 papillary carcinomas, and 9 nodular goiters. 23 samples were obtained from the expression profile repository, Array Express, these counted 14 papillary carcinomas and 9 normal thyroid.
Project description:Experiment a) Establishment of expression profiles in conventional papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs) with a BRAF mutation vs. PTCs without a BRAF mutation and using normal thyroid (TN) specimens as reference. Experiment b) Establishment of expression profiles in follicular adenomas (FAs) of the thyroid and follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinomas (FVPTCs). We extracted DNA from specimens and performed mutational analysis in malignant lesions and extracted RNA that was processed and hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:Thyroid nodules occur in about 60% of the population. Current diagnostic strategies, however, often fail at distinguishing malignant nodules before surgery, thus leading to unnecessary, invasive treatments. As proteins are involved in all physio/pathological processes, a proteome investigation of biopsied nodules may help correctly classify and identify malignant nodules and discover therapeutic targets. Quantitative mass spectrometry data-independent acquisition (DIA) enables highly reproducible and rapid throughput investigation of proteomes. An exhaustive spectral library of thyroid nodules is essential for DIA yet still unavailable. This study presents a comprehensive thyroid spectral library covering five types of thyroid tissue: multinodular goiter, follicular adenoma, follicular and papillary thyroid carcinoma, and normal thyroid tissue. Our library includes 925,330 transition groups, 157,548 peptide precursors, 121,960 peptides, 9941 protein groups, and 9826 proteins from proteotypic peptides. This library resource was evaluated using three papillary thyroid carcinoma samples and their corresponding adjacent normal thyroid tissue, leading to effective quantification of up to 7863 proteins from biopsy-level thyroid tissues.
Project description:Human samples of various thyroid carcinomas, adenomas, and normals, each from a different patient, had mRNA assays performed using Affymetrix HG_U133A arrays, with 22283 probe-sets. The 99 samples consisted of 4 normals, 10 follicular adenomas, 13 follicular carcinomas, 7 oncocytic adenomas, 8 oncocytic carcinomas, 51 papillary carcinomas (each typed as having classical, follicular or tall cell morphology), 4 anaplastic carcinomas, and 2 medullary carcinomas. Interesting additional information on common mutations are provided including RAS mutation, BRAF mutation, RET/PTC rearrangements, and PAX8/PPARG translocations. Details of those assays are provided in our linked publications, as well as additional details on the specific mutations in a few special cases. No survival data is provided. Information for 93 of the 99 samples was previously made available on the web. The anaplastic and medullary carcinoma data were not previously shared. A supplementary Excel spreadsheet holding the same processed data as the series matrix file is provided and is more compact. The raw (.CEL) files are also provided.

Project description:The study aimes to evaluate the neoplasm proteomic changes in benign follicular adenoma versus malignant follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Tumor and non-tumor adjacent samples were analyzed by liquid nano-chromatography mass spectrometry and protein abundance was evaluated by label free quantification.
Project description:Our goal was to search for new molecular markers of the mitochondrial implication in the thyroid tumorigenesis. Using a DNA microarray (Cancerochip), we explored a collection of thyroid samples representing 4 classes of thyroid tumors. 45 thyroid tumoral and paired control tissues representing 4 classes (benign follicular tumors [FTA], oncocytic variants of follicular tumors [OT], papillary thyroid carcinomas [PTC] and tumors of uncertain malignancy potential [TUMP]) of thyroid tumors were explored for the expression of 6866 genes.
