BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: S100A13 is involved in tumor formation, and is highly expressed in human thyroid gland. This study was to investigate the effect of exogenous S100A13 overexpression on the proliferation of human thyroid cancer cell line TT. METHODS: The eukaryotic expression plasmid pCDNA3.1/NT-GFP-S100A13 and empty vector pCDNA3.1/NT-GFP were transfected into TT cells. The cells were selected by G418. The expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) was observed under laser scanning microscope, and the expression of S100A13 mRNA and protein was detected by real-time reverse transcript...
