Abstract:
Mannose binding lectin(MBL) is closely related to tumor formation and progression. We and others have confirmed that the MBL gene show differential expression in thyroid cancer. MBL can recognize or bind tumor cells or apoptotic cells, promote clearance of apoptotic cells, and inhibit tumor cells migration and angiogenesis. Thus, MBL can prevent tumor cells invasion and immigration.
