Abstract Background: Thyroid cancer is the most prevalent malignancy and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. Recent studies have revealed that microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in tumorigenesis in various cancer types by affecting the expression of its targets. However, the role of miR-32-5p in thyroid cancer remains limited. Methods: In this study, we attempt to explore the role of miR-32-5p in thyroid cancer and elucidate the underlying mechanism. Expression of miR-32-5p was determined by quantitative reverse transcription PCR. Functional assays were performed by CCK-8 assay, cell colony assay, cell apoptosis assay, cell migration and invasion assays, cell cycle assay and luciferase assay. Protein expression was analyzed by Western blot.Results: In the present study, the role of miR-32-5p in thyroid cancer was firstly explored. It is found that miR-32-5p was downregulated in thyroid cancer tissues and cells. Overexpression of miR-32-5p inhibited thyroid cancer cells proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial‐mesenchymal transition process; while suppression of miR-32-5p exhibited an opposite effect on thyroid cancer cells. In addition, In addition, a luciferase assay showed Twist1 was identified as a direct target of miR-32-5p in thyroid cancer, and further study showed that restoration of Twist1 attenuated the biological effect of miR-32-5p on thyroid cancer cells. Conclusion: In conclusion, our results demonstrated miR-32-5p functions as a tumor suppressor by targeting Twist1 in thyroid cancer, providing a novel insight into thyroid cancer therapy.
