Objective: Transcription factor activating protein 2 B (TFAP2 B) is a transcription factor that regulates many steps of embryogenesis, cell growth, apoptosis and recently oncogenesis and cancer progression. AP-1 is a transcription factor that is a downstream molecule of the MAPK signaling pathway. Juxtaposed with zinc finger gene 1 (JAZF1) is a recently detected transforming growth factor which has a role in carcinogenesis. Hence the present study aimed to assess those markers expression in tissues from patients with such cancer correlation their expression with clinic-pathological findings of the tumor and prognostic and follow-up findings of patients. Methods: We have collected tissue samples from papillary thyroid cancer patients and adjacent non-neoplastic tissues from 80 patients. We assessed the expression of TFAP2B, AP-1 and JAZF1 using immunohistochemistry. Results: Expression of TFAP2B was positively associated with lymph nodes metastases (p=0.003), distant metastases (p=0.002), recurrence of the tumor (p=0.002), unfavourable disease-free survival rate (p=0.003). AP-1 expression is positively associated with advanced stage (p=0.002), presence of extra-thyroid invasion (p=0.005), recurrence of the tumor (p=0.005), unfavorable disease-free survival rate (p=0.01). JAZF1 expression is negatively associated with huge tumor size (0.023), vascular invasion (p=0.007) and unfavorable overall survival rate (p=.030). Conclusion: High expression levels of TFAP2B and AP-1 and low expression levels of JAZF1 were associated with unfavourable pathological, prognostic parameters and dismal patient's outcome.
