TMPO-AS1 promotes cell proliferation of thyroid cancer via sponging miR-498 to modulate TMPO

BACKGROUND: Thyroid cancer (TC) is the most frequent endocrine malignancy. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been confirmed to act as significant roles in tumor development. The role of lncRNA TMPO-AS1 in TC is still unclear, so it remains to be explored. The aim of the research is to investigate the role and regulatory mechanism of TMPO-AS1 in TC.

METHODS: TMPO-AS1 and TMPO expression in TC tumors and cells was detected by TCGA database and QRT-PCR assay respectively. CCK-8, EDU, TUNEL and western blot assays were conducted to identify the biological functions of TMPO-AS1 in TC. Luciferase reporter and RNA pull down assays were conducted to measure the interaction among TMPO-AS1, TMPO and miR-498.

RESULTS: TMPO-AS1 was overexpressed in TC tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of TMPO-AS1 suppressed cell growth and accelerated cell apoptosis in TC. Furthermore, downregulation of TMPO-AS1 suppressed TMPO expression in TC. The data suggested that TMPO expression was upregulated in TC tissues and cell lines and was positively correlated with TMPO-AS1 expression in TC. Furthermore, the expression of miR-498 presented low expression in TC cells. And miR-498 expression was negatively regulated by TMPO-AS1, meanwhile, TMPO expression was negatively regulated by miR-498 in TC cells. Besides, it was confirmed that TMPO-AS1 could bind with miR-498 and TMPO in TC cells. In addition, it was validated that TMPO-AS1 elevated the levels of TMPO via sponging miR-498 in TC cells.

CONCLUSIONS: TMPO-AS1 promotes cell proliferation in TC via sponging miR-498 to modulate TMPO.
