HOTAIR is a promising novel biomarker in patients with thyroid cancer

چکیده
Thyroid cancer (TC) is the most common endocrine malignancy. Lack of effective early diagnostic tools is one of the clinical obstacles for TC treatment. Thus, enhanced comprehension of the molecular changes in TC tumorigenesis is urgently needed to develop novel strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of TC. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) manage fundamental biochemical and cellular processes in tumorigenesis and development. One of the best-described lncRNAs, HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR), functions as a regulatory molecule in a wide variety of biological processes, and represses gene expression through recruitment of the chromatin modifying complex. However, the function of HOTAIR in TC remains unclear. In the current study, the expression of HOTAIR is elevated in TC and correlates with metastasis and poor prognosis. Furthermore, the expression of HOTAIR is significantly upregulated in human thyroid carcinoma cells compared with normal human thyroid cells. Furthermore, knockdown of HOTAIR significantly inhibited cell growth and invasion in TPC-1 and SW579 human thyroid carcinoma. In summary, HOTAIR is a promising novel biomarker in patients with TC.
