We studied reception of sex steroid hormones in the tissues of thyroid papillary cancer and benign tumor. Enhanced expression of AR and ERβ mRNA reflected malignant tumor growth. Nuclear factors Brn-3α and TRIM16 modulating expression of steroid hormones play an important role in the development of thyroid tumors. It was found that the level of TRIM16 mRNA is associated with the expression of ERβ, which seems to be mediated by its antiestrogen effect.
