Popis: Abstract Background Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most frequent type of thyroid malignancy. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms whereby long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are associated with PTC pathogenesis. Methods Microarray analysis was used to determine differentially expressed lncRNAs between paired PTC tissues and normal adjacent thyroid tissues. Quantitative RT-PCR was used for validation in 86 PTC cases. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) transfection assays were then performed to assess how a novel lncRNA affected key proliferation and cell death pathways in IHH4 PTC cells. Results We identified 1878 differentially expressed lncRNAs versus matched control samples (fold change ≥2.0, P
