ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of ANX A1 on the biological characteristics of papillary thyroid carcinom cells by interfering with the expression of Annexina A1 (ANX A1) in papillary thyroid carcinoma cells through small interfering RNAs (siRNA).Methods The designed highly efficient siRNA was used to conduct the specific interfence on ANXA1 expression in the papillary thyroid carcinoma TPC-1 cells.The effect of ANXA1 on TPC-1 apoptosis in PTC was observed by flow cytometry.Results The designed siRAN could efficiently inhibit the expression of ANXA1 mRNA in PTC,enhanced the cell apoptosis in TPC-1 cells in vitro.Conclusion siRNA can interfere with the expression of ANXA1 and promote the apoptosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma which suggesting that ANXA1 may be an important biological target for the treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma.
