Long non‑coding RNA UCA1 promotes papillary thyroid cancer cell proliferation via miR‑204‑mediated BRD4 activation.

Long non‑coding RNA (lncRNA) urothelial carcinoma‑associated 1 (UCA1) has been used in tumor development and progression in many types of cancer. However, the function and mechanism underlying the action of UCA1 in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) remains unclear. Therefore, these topics were investigated in the present study by in vitro and in vivo experiments.
