Thyroid carcinoma is the most common endocrine malignancy, and papillary thyroid carcinoma represents the most common thyroid cancer. Papillary thyroid carcinomas that invade locally or metastasize are associated with a poor prognosis. We found that, during epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) induced by transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1), papillary thyroid carcinoma cells acquired increased cancer stem cell-Like features and the transcription factor paired-related homeobox protein 1 (PRRX1; alias PRX-1), a newly identified EMT inducer, was markedly up-regulated. miR-146b-5p was also transiently up-regulated during EMT, and in siRNA experiments miR-146b-5p had an inhibitory role on cell proliferation and invasion during TGF-beta 1-induced EMT. We conclude that papillary thyroid carcinoma tumor cells exhibit increased cancer stem cell-Like features during TGF-beta 1-induced EMT, that miR-146b-5p has a rote in cell proliferation and invasion, and that PRRX1 plays an important role in papillary thyroid carcinoma EMT and disease progression.
