Abstract in Portuguese
MicroRNAs são pequenos RNAs não codificadores de proteínas envolvidos na regulação pós-transcricional da expressão gênica. Análises de expressão em larga escala identificaram aumento da expressão de miR-146b-5p no carcinoma papilífero (PTC), o subtipo mais prevalente do câncer de tiróide. Uma análise in silico apontou SMAD4, um membro da via de sinalização de TGFbeta, como potencial alvo de miR-146b-5p. A via de TGFbeta é uma via inibitória da proliferação da célula folicular, contudo o mecanismo de escape do sinal inibitório de TGFbeta pela célula tumoral tiroideana permanence não esclarecido. A expressão de miR-146b-5p em linhagem normal PCCL3 diminuiu os níveis de SMAD4, conferindo resistência ao sinal anti-proliferativo de TGFbeta e aumentando a proliferação celular. A inibição de miR-146b-5p em linhagens de PTC aumentou os níveis de SMAD4, restaurou a resposta ao sinal anti-proliferativo de TGFbeta, diminuindo a proliferação celular. Os dados obtidos neste trabalho revelam o papel oncogênico de miR-146b-5p como um regulador negativo da via de TGFbeta.

Abstract in English
MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Large-scale analyses revealed that miR-146b-5p is overexpressed in papillary carcinomas (PTC), the most prevalent form of thyroid cancer. A computational analysis indicated SMAD4, an important member of the TGF-b signaling pathway, as a putative target of miR-146b-5p. The TGFbeta pathway is a negative regulator of thyroid follicular cell growth, and the mechanism by which thyroid cancer cells evade its inhibitory signal remains unclear. The overexpression of miR-146b-5p in normal follicular PCCL3 cells decreased SMAD4 levels, conferred resistance to TGFbeta anti-proliferative signal and increased cell proliferation. The specific inhibition of miR-146b-5p in papillary carcinoma cell lines significantly increased SMAD4 levels, restored the TGFbeta signal transduction and decreased cell growth. Altogether, our data confirm the oncogenic role of miR-146b-5p in thyroid follicular cells as a negative regulator of TGFbeta signaling pathway.
