title: [Stimulation of adenyl cyclase and fixation of iodine in human cancerous thyroid cells in culture].
abstract: In primary cultures of cells from human thyroid cancer, functional activity was investigated by adenylate cyclase responsiveness and radioiodine uptake. In cells from well-differentiated follicular carcinomas (2 cases), TSH stimulation of cAMP accumulation is similar to that of normal thyroid cells. In contrast, in papillary carcinomas (11 cases), the mean dose-response curve is much lower than normal. In thyroid cancers, radioiodine uptake by the cells has been detected in some cases after 3 days of 125I incorporation. As previously observed, our results suggest the existence of a relationship between adenylcyclase responsiveness and 125I uptake by the cells.
