MiR-331-5p Affects Motility of Thyroid Cancer Cell Lines and Regulates BID Expression.

ABSTRACT: During tumorigenesis, miRNAs with unbalanced expression profiles can increase the threat of disease progression. Here, we focus on the role of miR-331-5p in the pathogenesis of thyroid cancer (TC). In vitro studies were conducted using TC cell lines after the forced expression and silencing of miR-331-5p. Cell proliferation and viability were analyzed via cell counts and colorimetric assays. Cell motility was analyzed via wound healing assays, Transwell migration and invasion assays, and Matrigel Matrix assays. The putative targets of miR-331-5p were unveiled via label-free proteomic screening and then verified using Western blot and luciferase assays. Expression studies were conducted by interrogating The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We found that ectopic miR-331-5p expression reduces TC c
