Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to identify molecular markers associated with papillary thyroid Cancer (PTC) and investigate the therapeutic potential of targeted nanoscale drugs. Materials & methods: We analyzed the effects of circICA1 and miR-486-3p on B-CPAP cells' proliferation, Apoptosis, migration and invasion. The regulation of the miR-486-3p/SERPINA1 axis was explored using quantitative real-time Reverse transcription PCR and western blot analyses for metastasis. In vivo, we evaluated the effects of hyperbranched polyamidoamine-RGD peptide/si-circICA1 on PTC growth and metastasis. Results: Enhanced miR-486-3p expression inhibits B-CPAP cells' proliferation and invasion. si-circICA1 delivered via hyperbranched polyamidoamine-RGD peptide nanoparticles shows potential for treating metastasis in PTC. Conclusion: This study identifies key molecular mechanisms underlying PTC invasiveness and suggests a promising therapeutic strategy for PTC using targeted nanoscale drugs.
