Evidence has been provided that long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) play major roles in affecting essential physiological processes, and many of which seem to have functional roles in tumorigenesis and progression. However, the intrinsic molecular mechanism of LncRNAs acting on papillary thyroid carcinoma is not well understood. In the present study, we found that PROX1-AS1 levels were obviously increased in thyroid cancer cells compared with the normal thyroid epithelial cells. Knockdown of PROX1-AS1 gene expression by siRNA could inhibit cell proliferation. Subsequently, we also observed that silencing PROX1-AS1 might inhibit invasion and migration of thyroid cancer cell lines via modulating the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition related proteins. In conclusion, our study indicated that LncRNA PROX1-AS1 could promote papillary thyroid carcinoma development and might serve as a potential targeting marker for papillary thyroid carcinoma.
