Abstract

The incidence of thyroid cancer detection is continually improving worldwide with the spread of diagnostic imaging and surveillance. Although we have made great progress, there are still unknown mechanisms of papillary thyroid cancer. We found that UNC5B-AS1 is a potential oncogene in thyroid cancer. Therefore, our study aimed to investigate the biological functions of the lncRNA UNC5B-AS1 in papillary thyroid cancer. As a result, RNA-seq data on primary papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) in the TCGA database were obtained. RT-qPCR was performed to evaluate the expression levels in thyroid tissue. We then analysed the expression level of UNC5B-AS1 and its association with clinicopathologic characteristics in the TCGA database. We downregulated UNC5B-AS1 using small interfering RNA and carried out assays of cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion to explore the function of UNC5B-AS1 in PTC cell lines (TPC1 and BCPAP). These results suggested that the lncRNA UNC5B-AS1 was significantly upregulated in both the TCGA cohort and our tissue cohort. Upregulated UNC5B-AS1 correlated with lymph node metastasis (P < 0.001), tumor size (P = 0.002) and histological type (P = 0.013). We also achieved an area under the ROC cu...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
