Abstract
Abstract
This study aims to discover the effects of ursolic acid (UA) on papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Human PTC cells were under UA treatment, and cell viability, clone formation, and apoptosis were measured by MTT assay, clone formation assay, and flow cytometry, respectively. Expressions of apoptosis- and epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related markers were determined via qRT-PCR and western blot. Fibronectin-1 (FN1) expression in thyroid carcinoma was analyzed by GEPIA2 and qRT-PCR. The effects of overexpressed FN1 on UA-treated cells were detected following the previous procedures. Cell viability, proliferation, and EMT-related marker expressions were inhibited, while cell apoptosis and apoptosis-related marker expressions were promoted by UA. FN1 was higher expressed in thyroid carcinoma and downregulated by UA. Effects of FN1 on cell viability, proliferation, and apoptosis- and EMT-related marker expressions were partially reversed by UA. UA inhibited human PTC cell viability, proliferation, and EMT but promoted apoptosis via suppressing FN1.
