UCA1 promotes papillary thyroid carcinoma development by stimulating cell proliferation via Wnt pathway.

To explore whether lncRNA UCA1 (long non-coding RNA urothelial carcinoma associated 1) could promote the development of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) via Wnt pathway and its underlying mechanism.UCA1 expression in PTC tissues, paracancerous tissues, and thyroid cancer cells were detected by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). UCA1 lentivirus was then constructed for the following in vitro experiments. Proliferative...
