Abstract
Thyroid cancer is the most prevalent form of endocrine cancer. Therefore, the administration of new therapeutic agents for thyroid cancer patients is necessary. One of the recent successes in thyroid cancer research is the identification of the role of signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of the disease. Emerging evidence reveals that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can serve as novel therapeutic approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer. The lncRNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript-1 (MALAT1) plays key roles in gene expression, RNA processing, and epigenetic regulation. It is believed that MALAT1 can regulate several cancer-related processes, including tumour cell growth, proliferation, and metastasis. MALAT1 is involved in the pathogenesis of thzroid cancers by targeting multiple downstream targets and miRNA/mRNA axes. Here, we summarize the emerging roles of MALAT1 in this cancer.
