Identification of Oncosuppressing Effects of Seven Selenoproteins in Thyroid Cancer: Implications for Distinct Roles of Selenoproteins in Tumorigenesis
Abstract:Background: Low selenium levels are associated with increased incidence and advanced stage of thyroid cancers. In response to changes in selenium levels, a hierarchy of selenoprotein biosynthesis allows tissue-specific fine-tuning of the 25 selenoproteins. To determine the role of individual selenoproteins on thyroid carcinogenesis, we carried out a multiomic data mining study.Methods: The expressions of individual selenoproteins and their correlation with prognosis in thyroid cancers were analyzed using Oncom… Show more
