dc.description.abstract | The RAS protooncogene has an important, although not yet established role in thyroid neoplasia. In this study, we evaluated the H-RAS mRNA and protein levels in human samples of nontoxic and toxic multinodular goiter samples, according to serum TSH levels. The mean of H-RAS mRNA levels in nodules of nontoxic nodular goiter were significantly increased compared to nonnodular tissue (1.49±1.21 vs. 0.94±0.81 AU, P=0.016). Nine of the 18 specimens (50%) of nontoxic multinodular goiter exhibited increased levels of H-RAS mRNA. The increased H-RAS mRNA levels were paralleled by inRAcreased H-Ras protein levels in about 90% of the cases. Interestingly, no differences were observed in H-RAS expression between nodules and adjacent nonnodular tissue in toxic nodular goiters (0.58±0.27 vs. 0.58±0.20 AU, P=0.88). None of the 10 samples from toxic multinodular goiters exhibited overexpression of H-RAS. The H-RAS expression was positively correlated with thyroglobulin expression (r2=0.51; P=0.04). In conclusion, we demonstrated increased levels of H-RAS mRNA and protein in samples of nontoxic multinodular goiter, indicating that it might be involved in goiter pathogenesis. In contrast, H-RAS overexpression was not detected in any of the samples of toxic multinodular goiter, suggesting different mechanisms for cell proliferation in nodular goiter according to thyroid status. | es |
