Abstract:To investigate the effect and function of ERBB3 in the occurrence and development of thyroid cancer at clinical level. Methods The fine needle puncture tissues of 4 patients with thyroid cancer and 6 patients with thyroid nodule in Department of Endocrinology, Beijing Luhe Hospital from December 2017 to December 2018 were collected, RNA-seq was detected and ERBB3 levels were analyzed. The thyroid cancer database of TCGA and the thyroid cancer database of GEO were used to analyze and compare the levels of ERBB3 in patients with recurrent and paracancer, T and N stages. Gene enrichment analysis was used to analyze the relationship between ERBB3 level and EGFR, PI3K and ERK1/2 signaling pathways, as well as the relationship between tumor proliferation and metastasis. Results ERBB3 mRNA was increased in thyroid cancer compared with benign thyroid nodules (P < 0.001). Compared with paracancer, ERBB3 mRNA was elevated in thyroid cancer tissues (TCGA source, P < 0.0001; GEO source, P < 0.0001). In thyroid cancer patients, EGFR, PI3K and ERK1/2 gene sets were significantly enriched in patients with high ERBB3 expression. ERBB3 levels increased with the increase of T staging (P < 0.0001), and the gene sets associated with proliferation were significantly enriched in patients with high ERBB3 expression. Compared with the N0 group, the level of ERBB3 in patients with stage N1 was significantly increased (P < 0.0001). The gene sets associated with metastasis were significantly enriched in patients with high ERBB3 expression. ERBB3 levels were elevated in patients with recurrent thyroid cancer (P = 0.0124). Conclusion ERBB3 may be involved in the proliferation, metastasis and recurrence of thyroid cancer and is expected to be a new target for the treatment of thyroid cancer.
