Peroxiredoxin I expression in human thyroid tumors
T Yanagawa et al. Cancer Lett. 1999.
Abstract
Peroxiredoxin I (Prx I) is newly discovered oxidative stress inducible protein, having a thioredoxin peroxidase activity. The Prx I expression level in 107 samples out of 60 thyroid lesions, including normal thyroid, tumors and thyroiditis including Graves' disease were examined using immunoblotting. Prx I expression levels in follicular neoplasm (P = 0.00005) and thyroiditis group (P = 0.0037) were significantly higher than that of the control group, while papillary carcinoma group did not show statistical significance. Immunohistochemistry indicated that Prx I was in epithelial cells of thyroid follicles. These results suggest that Prx I is expected to be a candidate for novel tumor markers to discriminate tissue types of tumors.
