      Abstract

      Background

      Thyroid carcinoma (THCA) is a common malignancy of the endocrine system. Further understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying THCA is crucial to develop effective diagnostic therapy and improve its treatments. In this study, we intended to provide novel direction for THCA targeted therapy from the aspect of lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA interaction. We aimed to investigate the function and molecular mechanism of lncRNA ATP1A1-AS1 in THCA.

      Methods

      Gene expression was assessed by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Cell growth was detected by CCK-8 and EdU assays. Flow cytometry was applied for analyzing cell apoptosis. The binding of ATP1A1-AS1 or IRF2BP2 to miR-620 was validated by RNA pulldown and luciferase reporter assays. The protein levels were examined by western blotting.

      Results

      ATP1A1-AS1 was decreased in THCA cells and tissues. ATP1A1-AS1 overexpression attenuated cell growth and promoted apoptosis. MiR-620, which was upregulated in THCA, was identified as a direct target of ATP1A1-AS1. Furthermore, IRF2BP2 was discovered to be a target of miR-620, which displayed low expression in THCA cells and tissues. Importantly, IRF2BP2 knockdown reversed the influence of ATP1A1-AS1 overexpression on THCA cell proliferation and apoptosis.

      Conclusions

      LncRNA ATP1A1-AS1 inhibited cell growth and promotes apoptosis in THCA via the miR-620/IRF2BP2 axis.
