ABSTRACT
Thyroid cancer (TC) is caused by genetic factors and or their cross talk with lifestyle and environment. An important role of miRNA involvement has been identified in different human diseases alongside the cancer. The growing cloud of miRNA discoveries narrates miRNA-221 and miRNA-222 as key elements of ready arsenal in the cancer micro-niches. The aim of present study was to identify the variations of miRNA-221 and miRNA-222 expression in TC tissues and their likely association with TC. miRNA-221 and miRNA-222 were investigated for their expressional alterations in TC tissue samples and healthy thyroid tissue. Expression of miRNA-221 and -222 was analyzed through real time PCR. The relative gene expression of both the miRNA was quantified and statistically evaluated. miRNA-221 and miRNA-222 were found to be highly over expressed when compared with samples of multinodular goiter (MNG) and normal controls. Interestingly, it was also noted that miRNA-221 and miRNA-222 expression is working in a cluster in thyroid cancer patients. So, it can be concluded that the expressional alterations of miRNA-221 and -222 are playing their potential role in the development of thyroid cancer.
