This study has identified the role of SIRT4 in tumor suppression in thyroid cancer in multiple ways, demonstrating that SIRT4 inhibits the proliferation, infiltration, and metastasis of cancer cells and induces apoptosis in in vitro and in vivo models.




Professor Park Jung-je noted that the lower the expression of SIRT4 through this study, the higher the aggression of the tumor, and suggested the possibility as a target for predicting and treating the progression of sentimental adenocarcinoma in the future.

This was awarded in academic recognition for highlighting the role of SIRT4 in a special carcinoma called thyroid cancer in many ways, which previous studies have not dealt with well.
