Abstract

An increasing amount of evidence has demonstrated the importance of microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) in the tumorigenesis of malignant types of cancer, and data retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas database revealed that miR‑3690 was upregulated in thyroid cancer (TC). The present study focused on the biological function and mechanism of miR‑3690 in TC, demonstrating that miR‑3690 expression was significantly elevated in TC cells and clinical tissues. Functional studies indicated that miR‑3690 acted as an oncogene in TC by promoting cell proliferation, colony formation and cell cycle progression in association with the increased expression of cyclin E and c‑myc. Mechanistically, prediction software indicated that Dickkopf‑related protein 3 (DKK3) was a target of miR‑3690, which was confirmed by the results of luciferase reporter assays and western blotting. DKK3 silencing abrogated the functions of miR‑3690‑in on TC cell proliferation. Collectively, the findings of the present study demonstrated that miR‑3690 promoted TC cell proliferation and indicated miR‑3690 as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for TC.
