Abstract

The aim of the present study was to examine the rate of BRAF mutation and the expression profiles of CK19, galectin‑3, CD56, thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and Ki67 in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and papillary thyroid micro‑carcinoma (PTMC). A total of 246 cases of thyroid disease were collected, including PTC, PTMC, nodular goiter (NG) and Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT). The results revealed that CK19 expression was 116/120 in PTC, 61/64 in PTMC, 2/34 in NG and 1/28 in HT. Galectin‑3 positive expression was 115/120 in PTC, 60/64 in PTMC, 6/34 in NG and 4/28 in HT. TPO positive expression was 8/120 in PTC, 1/64 in PTMC, 30/34 in NG and 25/28 in HT. CD56-positive expression was 12/120 in PTC, 3/64 in PTMC, 33/34 in NG and 26/28 in HT. Ki67 labeling index was 2.52±0.46% in PTC (120 cases), 2.62±0.52% in PTMC (64 cases), 2.55±0.44% in NG (34 cases) and 2.58±0.48% in HT (28 cases). BRAF mutation rate was 93/120 in PTC, 47/64 in PTMC, 3/34 in NG and 2/28 in HT. These results suggested that expression patterns of CK19, galectin‑3, CD56 and TPO and BRAF mutation exhibit diagnosis value in thyroid disease. However, Ki67-positive rate exhibits no notable diagnosis value in thyroid disease.
