  Objectives: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common malignancy of thyroid. We aimed to investigate the association of let-7f, miR-146b-5p, miR-34b, miR-16 and miR-877-5p expression in blood circulation and tumor with aggressiveness of PTC. Methods: A total of 18 patients with aggressive PTC and 18 patients with non-aggressive PTC were studied. The microRNAs expressions were evaluated using real-time PCR. Fold changes (FC) of the miRs in aggressive PTC patients were calculated via calibration with mean of expression of the miRs in non-aggressive groups. Results: MiR-16 showed significant up regulation in blood (FC=2.85; P=0.024), miR-34 showed significant down regulation in blood (FC=0.19; P<0.001) and tumor tissue (FC=0.19; P<0... Read More»
