Thyroid carcinoma (TC) is one of the frequent endocrine malignancies, and growing evidence suggests that aberrant microRNA (miRNA) expression contributes to TC development and progression. Nevertheless, the function of miR-330-5p in the progression of TC remains unknown.
The expression levels of miR-330-5 in patients with thyroid carcinoma and healthy controls were detected, and their potential diagnostic and prognostic values were analyzed.
In this study, we firstly found that miR-330-5p expression was markedly upregulated in TC tissue and cell lines. Functionally, the downregulation of miR-330-5p suppressed TC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Further studies revealed that miR-330-5p negatively regulated the expression of forkhead box E1 (FOXE1). More importantly, the results of rescue experiments suggested that FOXE1 overexpression reduced the positive effects of miR-330-5p overexpression in TPC-1 and K-1 cells.
This work revealed that miR-330-5p facilitated the TC progression through targeting FOXE1, which may offer novel therapeutic options for TC.
甲状腺癌(TC)是常见的内分泌恶性肿瘤之一,越来越多的证据表明,异常的微小RNA(miRNA)表达促进了TC的发生和发展。然而,miR-330-5p在TC进展中的作用仍不清楚。
检测甲状腺癌患者和健康对照者中miR-330-5的表达水平,并分析其潜在的诊断和预后价值。
在本研究中,我们首先发现miR-330-5p在TC组织和细胞系中显著上调。在功能上,miR-330-5p的下调抑制了TC细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭。进一步研究表明,miR-330-5p负向调节叉头框E1(FOXE1)的表达。更重要的是,挽救实验结果表明,FOXE1过表达降低了miR-330-5p过表达对TPC-1和K-1细胞的正向作用。
本研究揭示miR-330-5p通过靶向FOXE1促进TC进展,这可能为TC提供新的治疗选择。
