要旨
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) induces apoptosis in malignant cells, but not in normal cells. As papillary thyroid carcinoma cells broadly expressed TRAIL receptors (death receptor 4 and death receptor 5) on their surface, TRAIL is considered as a promising drug for treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma. However, resistance to TRAIL still be a big obstacle to achieve a satisfactory effect for cancer therapy. Here, we found that overexpression of miR-101 was able to sensitize papillary thyroid carcinoma cells to TRAIL treatment
