Project description:Differential diagnosis between malignant follicular thyroid cancer (FTC) and benign follicular thyroid adenoma (FTA) is a great challenge for even an experienced pathologist and requires special effort. Molecular markers may potentially support a differential diagnosis between FTC and FTA in postoperative specimens. The purpose of this study was to derive molecular support for the differential diagnosis, in the form of a simple multigene mRNA-based classifier that would differentiate between FTC and FTA tissue samples.

Project description:Well-differentiated tumours (WDT) of the thyroid gland can be difficult to diagnose. Focal nuclear clearing can be suggestive of a papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), while questionable vascular or capsular penetration may raise the possibility of diagnosis of a follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC). The recently proposed term “thyroid tumours of uncertain malignant potential” (TT-UMP) defines cases showing inconclusive morphological evidence of malignancy. We use microRNA (miRNA) expression profiling to analyze 42 well differentiated thyroid tumours including 7 follicular tumours of uncertain malignant potential (FT-UMP), 6 well differentiated tumours of uncertain malignant potential (WDT-UMP), 7 follicular thyroid adenomas (FTA), 5 follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (FV-PTC) 6 follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC), and 11 conventional papillary thyroid carcinoma (C-PTC) with 6 C-PTC mutated for BRAFV600E (C-PTC-mut) and 5 not mutated: wild type (C-PTC-wt). Comparison of these 13 tumours of uncertain malignant potential (7 FT-UMP and 6 WDT-UMP) with those obtained from 16 PTC (11 C-PTC and 5 FV-PTC), 6 FTC and 7 FTA is performed in order to clarify the relationships between TT-UMP and the morphologically well characterized categories of thyroid tumours (i.e. C-PTC, FV-PTC, FTC and FTA). In first, each pathological sample (“L” for Lesional tissue) is compared with its matched control (“S” for Safe tissue) for the 42 patients (84 miRNA microarray slides). This control was taken from the same patient at a large distance from the tumour. Secondly, the perilesional tissue from the same patients but 2 (1 PTC and 1 adenoma, without enough RNA left) is compared to normal thyroid tissue (safe tissue reference) obtained from a patient who underwent total thyroidectomy for a laryngeal carcinoma that partially invaded the thyroid gland, to search for microRNA signatures of perilesional tissues (80 miRNA microarray slides).Experiments is performed with a miRNA microarray, referenced in GEO under the accession number GPL4717 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GPL4717). 42 Patients: 7 FT-UMP, 6 WDT-UMP, 7 FTA (+1 duplicate sample), 5 FV-PTC, 6 FTC (+ 2 duplicate samples), and 11 C-PTC. 44 dye-swap pairs and 1 with no dye swap pair for a total of 89 samples.

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:Thyroid tumors represent 1-3% of canine cancers with most tumors classified as follicular carcinomas and less frequently as medullary carcinomas. A cohort of canine thyroid carcinomas underwent RNASeq exploration (n=30). Clustering of tumor transcriptomes produced 2 groups; T1 and T2 clusters comprised of follicular thyroid carcinomas (FTC) and medullary thyroid carcinomas (MTC), respectively. Tumors were histologically typed as follicular, compact, and follicular-compact on blinded review, with most MTC classified as compact with rare follicular-compact appearance, while FTC displayed all 3 patterns. FTC samples had significantly elevated levels of ERBB2 and HER2 protein and RET signaling was up-regulated in MTC. Elevated HER2 protein staining was associated with shorter progression free survival (PFI). Additional studies are warranted to explore the utility of these biomarkers to improve diagnosis and treatment of thyroid carcinoma in dogs.

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.

Project description:Poorly differentiated thyroid carcinomas (PDTC) represent a heterogeneous, aggressive entity, presenting features that suggest a progression from well-differentiated carcinomas. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying such progression and identify novel therapeutical targets, we assessed the genome-wide expression in normal thyroid tissues, well-differentiated thyroid carcinomas and PDTC. RNA were extracted from 2 normal thyroid tissues taken from the opposite lobe of thyroid tumors, and 24 thyroid carcinomas: 5 PDTC, 7 classic papillary thyroid carcinomas (cPTC), 8 follicular variants of PTC (fvPTC) and 4 follicular thyroid carcinomas (FTC). All samples were obtained at time of surgery and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen. We also hybridized a commercial pool of human thyroid total RNA (BD Bioscience). PTC were screened for BRAF mutations and rearrangements of RET/PTC and, in addition, follicular variants were also analyzed for RAS mutations and PAX8-PPARG rearrangements. FTC were screened for RAS and PAX8-PPARG rearrangements. PDTC were analyzed for BRAF, RAS and PAX8-PPARG genes.

Project description:The diagnosis of follicular-patterned thyroid tumors such as follicular adenoma (FA), follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC), and follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (FvPTC) remains challenging. This study aimed to explore the molecular differences among these three thyroid tumors by proteomic analysis.

Project description:The diagnosis of follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) prior surgical resection remains a challenge, as routine screening methods, such as ultrasound or even FNAB, could not diagnose FTC preoperatively. Here, we performed an integrative analysis of DNA methylation and RNA assays data from our own cohort (14 Follicular thyroid carcinoma vs 16 Benign thyroid lesion) to identify thyroid cancer-specific DNA methylation markers. We first identified differentially methylated and expressed genes and examined their correlations. Candidate DNA methylation sites were selected and further verified in validation set. Among all candidate methylation sites, cg06928209 was the most promising site as a molecular marker for early diagnosis, with a sensitivity of 90%, a specificity of 80% and an AUC of 0.77. Overall, our study demonstrates the potential use of methylation markers in FTC diagnosis and may boost the development of new epigenetic therapies.
