Overexpression of PAX8-AS1 Inhibits Malignant Phenotypes of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Cells via miR-96-5p/PKN2 Axis

Background. Thyroid carcinoma (THCA) is the most frequent endocrine malignancy. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the major subtype of THCA, accounting for over 80% of all THCA cases. LncRNA PAX8-AS1, a tumor suppressor associated with various human cancers, has been reported to be relevant to th...

Thyroid carcinoma (THCA) is the most frequent endocrine malignancy. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the major subtype of THCA, accounting for over 80% of all THCA cases. LncRNA PAX8-AS1, a tumor suppressor associated with various human cancers, has been reported to be relevant to the regulation of all sorts of cellular processes. The purpose of this study was to verify the role of PAX8-AS1 in PTC. Methods. Three human PTC cell lines (K1, TPC-1, and IHH4) and one normal human thyroid cell line, Nthy-ori3-1, were used in our study. The expression of genes was detected by qRT-PCR. The bioinformatic analysis and luciferase reporter assay were used to confirm the binding relationship of PAX8-AS1 to miR-96-5p, and the targeting relationship of miR-96-5p to PKN2 was also predicted. Cell proliferation and apoptosis capacities were assessed by MTT and flow cytometry, respectively. EdU assay was used to detect cell proliferation. Western blot assay was employed to examine protein expression. Results. The expression of PAX8-AS1 was decreased in PTC tissues and cells. PAX8-AS1 overexpression inhibited the proliferation of PTC cells and promoted cell apoptosis. In addition, PAX8-AS1 bonds with miR-96-5p, whose downregulation elevated the expression of PKN2 in PTC cells. Importantly, according to the rescue experiments, PKN2 silencing partially reversed the inhibitory effects of PAX8-AS1 expression on PTC cell proliferation and apoptosis. Conclusions. We found that the PAX8-AS1/miR-96-5p/PKN2 axis was closely related to the progression of PTC, which could be a potential target for treating PTC patients.Ping ZhouTongdao XuHao HuFei HuaHindawi LimitedarticleDiseases of the endocrine glands.
