• As the most prevalent type of thyroid malignancy, papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) accounts for over 80% of all thyroid cancers. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been found to regulate multiple cancers, including PTC. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blotting were used to analyse RNA and protein levels. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to detect the distribution of the target genes. Functional experiments and animal experiments were implemented to analyse the biological functions of target genes in vitro and in vivo. Luciferase reporter, RNA pulldown, RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP) and mRNA stability assays were used to probe the underlying mechanisms. CircSEMA6Awas found to be upregulated in PTC tissues and cells, and its circular structure was verified. CircSEMA6A promotes PTC cell migration and invasion. Moreover, circSEMA6A functions as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to upregulate proline rich and Gla domain 4 (PRRG4) expression by sponging microRNA-520h (miR-520h). CircSEMA6A recruits ELAV1 to stabilize PRRG4 mRNA and drives PTC progression via PRRG4. CircSEMA6A upregulates PRRG4 by targeting miR-520h and recruiting ELAVL1 to affect the invasion and migration of PTC cells, offering insight into the molecular mechanisms of PTC.
