Delving into the Role of lncRNAs in Papillary Thyroid Cancer: Upregulation of LINC00887 Promotes Cell Proliferation, Growth and Invasion
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common histological category of thyroid cancer. In recent years, there has been an increasing number of studies on lncRNAs in PTC. Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 887 (LINC00887) is a critical oncogene in developing other cancers. LINC00887 is upr...

| Sumario: | Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common histological category of thyroid cancer. In recent years, there has been an increasing number of studies on lncRNAs in PTC. Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 887 (LINC00887) is a critical oncogene in developing other cancers. LINC00887 is upregulated in PTC samples but its role in PTC is currently unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact the disruption of LINC00887 expression has on PTC progression. We performed a CRISPR/Cas9 strategy for the truncation of LINC00887 in BCPAP and TPC1 cell lines. Functional assays showed that LINC00887 knockdown in both TPC1 and BCPAP cells reduced cell proliferation, colony formation and migration, delayed the cell cycle, and increased apoptosis. These results strengthened the role of LINC00887 in cancer and showed for the first time that this lncRNA could be a potential oncogene in PTC, acting as a tumor promoter. Modulation of the immune system may be one of the etiopathogenic mechanisms of LINC00887 in PTC, as shown by the observed influence of this lncRNA on PD-L1 expression. In addition, the biological pathways of LINC00887 identified to date, such as EMT, the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway or the FRMD6-Hippo signaling pathway may also be relevant regulatory mechanisms operating in PTC. |
