General description
TPC-1 is a widely published and well-characterized cell line isolated from a papillary thyroid carcinoma of a female patient (6). The genome of TPC-1 contains the RET/PTC1 rearrangement found in approximately 20% of sporadic papillary carcinomas in adults (2). TPC-1 harbors a silent polymorphism in H-RAS, and is wild-type for sequences of BRAF, CNBB1, EGFR, K-RAS, RAF-1, PI3K, and TRHB (3). TPC-1 cells produce thyroglobulin (Tg) as well as expressing the thyroid differentiation marker PAX8 and the tumor progression factor podoplanin (4). In addition, TPC-1 has been utilized as an in vitro model for human cytomegalovirus latency, a potential contributor for certain human cancers (5). The TPC-1 cell line is thus an excellent system for investigating mechanisms of thyroid carcinogenesis.
Thyroid cancer is the most prevalent endocrine carcinoma, with a rapidly increasing occurrence in many countries. Human models of differentiated thyroid cancer are highly valuable for assessing the pathways and mechanisms that contribute to thyroid carcinogenesis.

Patients with advanced thyroid carcinoma have poor prognosis with low overall survival. Unfortunately, the underlying mechanisms of thyroid carcinoma progression remain unclear. The elevated expression of thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) has been implicated in the progression of thyroid carcinoma, while

Reactivation of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) is an important event in cancer. Two hotspot mutations in the TERT promoter region, c.-124C > T (C228T) and c.-146C > T (C250T), occur in various cancer types including thyroid cancer. They generate de novo binding sites for
