RNA sequence analysis demonstrated that hypoxia-related genes were highly expressed in TETs. The expression of the hypoxia-related gene CA9 was noteworthy, particularly in TCs. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that CA9 was expressed in 81.0% of TCs and 20.7% of all TET samples. CA9 expression was significantly associated with Masaoka stage, WHO classification, and recurrence-free survival after tumor resection (P = 0.005). The down-regulation of CA9 transcription in TC cell lines by small interfering RNAs significantly inhibited CA9 expression, which inhibited proliferation and increased sensitivity to irradiation.
