AURKA is highly expressed in thyroid cancer and correlated with a poor prognosis of PTC. A Representative IHC analysis of AURKA expression in different thyroid cancer patient specimens. The scale bar is 50 μm. B The disease-specific survival rate of the high AURKA expression group was compared with that of the low AURKA expression group (P < 0.001). C Quantitative real-time PCR to measure the mRNA level of AURKA in normal and cancer tissues. D The protein expression levels of AURKA were examined by western blotting in normal and cancer tissues
