  • Title: LncRNA TNRC6C-AS1 regulates UNC5B in thyroid cancer to influence cell proliferation, migration, and invasion as a competing endogenous RNA of miR-129-5p.

    Abstract:
    To investigate the biological functions and regulatory mechanism of lncRNA TNRC6C-AS1 in thyroid cancer (TC). TNRC6C-AS1, miR-129-5p, and UNC5B expression levels were investigated by qRT-PCR and Western blot. CCK-8 assay was conducted to determine cell proliferation, while transwell assay was for inspection of cell migration and invasion. Through bioinformatic analysis, the interactions among TNRC6C-AS1, miR-129-5p, and UNC5B were predicted. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay and RNA pull-down assay confirmed the predicted target relationships. Tumor xenograft assay was applied to inspect the effect of TNRC6C-AS1 downregulation on TC development in vivo. TNRC6C-AS1 and UNC5B were overexpressed, while miR-129-5p was underexpressed in TC tissues and cells. TNRC6C-AS1/UNC5B downregulation and miR-129-5p overexpression could suppress proliferation, migration, and invasion of TC cells as well as inhibit tumorigenesis in vivo. MiR-129-5p targeted TNRC6C-AS1 and UNC5B in TC cells; and UNC5B expression was downregulated by knocking down TNRC6C-AS1, which competitively bound with miR-129-5p. Downregulation of TNRC6C-AS1 restrained TC development by knocking down UNC5B through upregulating the expression of miR-129-5p.
