ABSTRACT Objective: This study investigates the role of membrane-associated protein 17 (MAP17) and the Akt signaling pathway in the progression of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Materials and methods: We conducted a series of in vitro experiments using PTC cell lines (HTori-3 and TPC-1). Cells were divided into three groups: control, MAP17 inhibitor negative control (NC), and MAP17 inhibitor treatment. Cell viability was assessed at 0, 24, 48, and 72 hours using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Apoptosis levels were […]
