VEGFA and thyroid gland papillary carcinoma: In this study, we aimed to evaluate mRNA and protein levels of VEGFA and NFE2L2, as well as the expression patterns of miR-17-5p and miR-612 in human papillary thyroid cancer, colloid goiter, and normal thyroid tissues, and also to investigate the involvement of miR-17-5p and miR-612 in the regulation of VEGFA and NFE2L2 expression in the thyroid papillary cancer cell line (TPC-1 line).
