Abstract Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a neuroendocrine cancer derived from parafollicular C cells in the
thyroid gland. It has great interest as a research focus because of its unusual genetic, clinical, and prognostic
characteristics. However, the pathogenesis in MTC is not completely clear. We investigated the role of miR-
9-3p and bladder cancer-associated protein (BLCAP) in MTC TT cells. First, miR-9-3p expression was upregulated in human MTC tissues and TT cells and compared to the control by RT-PCR. Flow cytometric analysis
indicated that the cell cycle progression in TT cells was significantly inhibited by the… More >
