Selective repression of RET proto-oncogene in medullary thyroid carcinoma by a natural alkaloid berberine

BACKGROUND: The gain-of-function mutation of the RET proto-oncogene, which encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase, is strongly associated with the development of several medullary thyroid carcinomas (MTCs). Thus, the RET protein has been explored as an excellent target for progressive and advanced MTC....
