ABSTRACT: Background
Thyroid cancer is one of the most common cancers with rising incidence worldwide, and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) accounts for 80-85% of thyroid malignancy. Although it has been reported that many genes relate to the carcinogenesis of PTC, the molecular mechanisms remain mostly unclear.Methods
QRT-PCR assay was performed to detect circRNA_104565, miR-134 and ELF2 expression. CCK8 assay was exercised to examine cell proliferation. Western blot was used to detect ELF2 expression.Results
We found that circRNA_104565 was highly expressed in PTC tissue and cell and promoted cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. In addition, circRNA_104565 promoted cell proliferation in PTC by regulating the miR-134/ELF2 axis.Conclusion
Hence, revealing the function of circRNA_104565 in PTC is important for understanding the molecular mechanism of carcinogenesis and providing new biomarkers or therapeutic targets for PTC.
