Identification of Long Noncoding RNAs Deregulated in Papillary Thyroid Cancer and Correlated with BRAF^V600E Mutation by Bioinformatics Integrative Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Papillary Thyroid Cancer (PTC) is an endocrine malignancy in which BRAF^V600E oncogenic mutation induces the most aggressive phenotype. In this way, considering that lncRNAs are arising as key players in oncogenesis, it is of high interest the identification of BRAF^V600E-associated long noncoding RNAs, which can provide possible candidates for secondary mechanisms of BRAF-induced malignancy in PTC. In this study, we identified differentially expressed lncRNAs correlated with BRAF^V600E in PTC and, also, extended the cohort of paired normal and PTC samples to more accurately identify differentially expressed lncRNAs between these conditions. Indirectly validated targets of the differentially expressed lncRNAs in PTC compared to matched normal samples demonstra
