MR was also found to be present in the Fischer rat thyroid cell line (FRTL-5) and in the two human papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) cell lines (BCPAP and K1), although it was reduced in the latter (0.37-fold in BCPAP and 0.03-fold in K1) compared with the former, used as the control (p < 0.01; Figure 1B), and in the K1 compared with the BCPAP cell line (p < 0.05; Figure 1B). Here, NR3C2 is linked to thyroid gland papillary carcinoma.
