INTRODUCTION: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common subtype of thyroid cancer. Previous studies have reported on the ectopic expression of P-element-induced wimpy testis ligand 1 (PIWIL1) in various human cancers, but its role in PTC progression has not been investigated.

METHODS: In this study, we measured the expression levels of PIWIL1 and Eva-1 homolog A (EVA1A) in PTC using qPCR and WB. We performed a viability assay to evaluate PTC cell proliferation and used flow cytometry to investigate apoptosis. Moreover, we conducted a Transwell invasion assay to quantify cell invasion and assessed PTC growth in vivo using xenograft tumor models.

RESULTS: Our findings showed PIWIL1 to be highly expressed in PTC and promote cell proliferation, cell cycle activity, and cell invasion, while suppressing apoptosis. Additionally, PIWIL1 accelerated tumor growth in PTC xenografts by modulating the EVA1A expression.

CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that PIWIL1 contributes to the progression of PTC through EVA1A signaling, indicating its potential role as a therapeutic target for PTC. These results provide valuable insights into PIWIL1 function and may lead to more effective treatments for PTC.
