ABSTRACTBackgroundThe BRAFV600E mutations is an important molecular event in the occurrence and development of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). A qualitative detection of the BRAFV600E mutation is still insufficient to explain the biological behavior of PTC. Though quantitative detection of the BRAFV600E mutation can reflect certain characteristics of PTC, its clinical value is still controversial. We aimed to investigate the association between the ratio of BRAFV600E alleles and clinicopathological parameters in PTC patients.MethodsGenomic DNA was extracted from specimens obtained from 329 PTC patients undergoing thyroidectomy. The ratio of BRAFV600E alleles was determined by amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) and droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR). Inconsistent results were further verified by next-generation sequencing (NGS). The clinicopathologic features, clinical tumor stage, and tumor recurrence risk stratification of all patients were correlated with the ratio of BRAFV600E alleles.ResultsThe sensitivity of ddPCR was superior to that of ARMS and almost the same as that of NGS. In total, 275 of 329 patients had the BRAFV600E mutation as determined by ARMS, ddPCR and NGS. The ratio of BRAFV600E alleles ranged from 0.17%-48.0%, with a median ratio of 12.58%, and significantly correlated with tumor size (p<0.001), capsule or extrathyroidal invasion (p<0.001), the number or rate of lymph node metastases (p<0.001), tumor stage (p=0.006) and tumor recurrence risk (p<0.001) but not with sex, age or multifocality. The ratio of BRAFV600E alleles was much lower in PTC patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis than in those without (p<0.001).ConclusionsThe ratio of BRAFV600E alleles can reliably reflect the biological behavior of PTC, making it a molecular-based stratification index of recurrence risk. The quantitative detection of BRAFV600E has the potential to guide the clinical diagnosis and treatment of PTC.

Abstract Background Heparanase (HPSE) is an endo-β-D-glucuronidase, which is found overexpressed in various human cancers. The purpose of our work was to investigate the possible role of HPSE and the involved signaling molecules in the development of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Methods The expression of HPSE was examined in 80 samples of PTC by immunohistochemistry. In cell studies, the expression plasmid of HPSE and RNA interference with shRNA specific for HPSE were used to elucidate the effects of HPSE on proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion in PTC cells of B-CPAP and KTC-1. The probable downstream signaling molecules of HPSE were also explored. Results 75.0% (60 out of 80) of PTC samples was detected high expression of HPSE, which was significantly correlated with tumor size, lymph node metastasis and stage status. In cell studies, the upregulation of HPSE significantly promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion of B-CPAP and KTC-1 cells, and interfered with cell apoptosis. On the contrary, knockdown of HPSE exhibited the opposite effects. Compared with the parental cells, HPSE silencing cells showed attenuated capabilities of proliferation, migration and invasion, yet the apoptotic rate of transfected cells was increased. The activations of various signaling molecules correlated with cell biological behavior were found to be regulated by HPSE upregulation or knockdown. Conclusions Our results suggested that HPSE probably contributed to the progression and metastasis of PTC, which were associated with multiple signaling pathways. HPSE could be a potent molecular target for the therapeutic strategy of PTC.
