We recently reported the presence of a truncated form (h-CTR2) of the human calcitonin receptor (CTR) in TT cells, a cell line derived from medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). This form (h-CTR2), characterized by the absence of 16 amino acids in the first intracellular domain, was also detected in two cases of MTC. In the present study we determined the expression of CTR mRNA in a larger sample, representative of the different clinical forms of MTC, and in normal thyroid. h-CTR2 was expressed in all MTC specimens (both sporadic and familial) and in the normal thyroid samples. The expression of the receptor mRNA was higher in MTC compared with normal thyroid. Moreover, CT and CTR mRNA levels were modified significantly during proliferation. This result suggests that CT may be involved in proliferation of MTC via autocrine/paracrine regulation. Calcitonin secretion by MTC may play a role in the development and spread of these tumors.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D013961 Thyroid Gland A highly vascularized endocrine gland consisting of two lobes joined by a thin band of tissue with one lobe on each side of the TRACHEA. It secretes THYROID HORMONES from the follicular cells and CALCITONIN from the parafollicular cells thereby regulating METABOLISM and CALCIUM level in blood, respectively.
