pubmed:abstractText |
The receptor-type oncogenes c-erbB2/neu and c-erbB have been found amplified and/or overexpressed in a number of tumours of epithelial origin. We have studied the expression of oncogenes in biopsies from human thyroid tumours. The c-erbB2/neu and c-erbB oncogenes showed two- to three-fold higher levels of RNA in papillary carcinomas and lymph node metastases as well as in one adenoma when compared to non-tumour tissue. The nuclear oncogenes c-myc and c-fos were found to be expressed at varying levels in both non-tumour and tumour tissue. RNA transcripts specific for the platelet-derived growth factor A and B chains and the N-ras oncogene were detected in one anaplastic carcinoma. Neither rearrangements nor amplifications of oncogenes were observed in the thyroid tumours. These data are particularly interesting in light of the recent findings that epidermal growth factor induces proliferation and dedifferentiation of normal thyroid epithelial cells in vitro. We suggest that the epidermal growth factor or other ligands for the c-erbB and c-erbB2/neu receptors may contribute to the development and/or maintenance of the malignant phenotype of papillary carcinomas of the thyroid.
