MicroRNA-3619-3p (miR-3619-3p) is associated with cancer progression as an oncogene which is predicted to target at the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Our study aimed to investigate the role of miR-3619-3p on PTC cell migration and invasion, as well as the underlying mechanisms. Methods: The expression of miR-3619-3p in 36 PTC tissues and corresponding tumor-adjacent tissues, as well as 3 PTC cell lines (BCPAP, K1, TPC-1) and the normal thyroid epithelial cell line (N-thy-ori 3-1) were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The relationship between miR-3619-3p expression and clinicopathologic status of PTC patients was analyzed. Migration, invasion, and wound healing, were used to evaluate the role of miR-3619-3p in PTC. The activation of β-catenin and the possible molecular pathway were detected by western blotting. Results: The expression of miR-3619-3p in PTC tissues was significantly higher than the corresponding tumor-adjacent tissues (P %U https://atm.amegroups.org/article/view/31044 %V 7 %N 22 %P 643 %@ 2305-5847
