mRNA expression profile of the proliferation marker Ki67 and the differentiation marker NIS in normal thyroid tissue (NL), follicular adenoma (FA), and differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC; consisting of follicular thyroid cancer [FTC] and papillary thyroid cancer [PTC]). Ki67 mRNA levels were clearly enhanced in DTC compared with NL tissue but not in FA. NIS expression was significantly reduced in both DTC and FA compared with NL tissue. Mean mRNA expression is represented by the horizontal bar. *p<0.05.
