Popis: | Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy worldwide. The molecular mechanisms underlying thyroid tumorigenesis remain unclear. Some studies suggested that the ZCCHC12 gene correlates with certain diseases. However, the function of ZCCHC12 in thyroid cancer has yet to be determined. This study investigated the role of the ZCCHC12 gene in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). We conducted a comprehensive analysis of massively parallel whole-transcriptome resequencing of matched PTC tumors and normal tissues in 19 patients. Results showed that the expression of ZCCHC12 was significantly upregulated in thyroid cancer. qRT-PCR was performed to confirm previous results. The functions of the ZCCHC12 gene in PTC cell lines (TPC1 and BCPAP) transfected with small interfering RNA were determined through cell colony formation assay, migration assay, and invasion assay. The ZCCHC12 gene was remarkably upregulated in primary PTC tumors in both validated cohort (T:N = 1.80 ± 2.58:0.23 ± 0.50, P |
