A constitutive active MAPK/ERK pathway due to BRAFV600E positively regulates AHR pathway in PTC [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor mediating the toxicity and tumor-promoting properties of dioxin. AHR has been reported to be overexpressed and constitutively active in a variety of solid tumors, but few data

CTLA-4 and PD-1 ligand gene expression in epithelial thyroid cancers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The dysregulation of PD-1 ligands (PD-L1 and PD-L2) and CTLA-4 ligands (CD80 and CD86) represents a tumor strategy to escape the immune surveillance. Here, the expression of PD-L1, PD-L2, CD80 and CD86 was evaluated at mRNA level in 94 patients affected ...
