UCA1 was upregulated in PTC tissues and cell lines.

Notes: (A) Relative UCA1 expression in PTC tissues and adjacent normal tissues was determined by qRT-PCR (n=42). GAPDH was used as an internal control. (B) The expression levels of UCA1 in two PTC cell lines (BCPAP and TPC-1) and normal thyroid cell line Nthy-ori3-1 were examined by qRT-PCR. GAPDH was used as an internal control. All data are representative of three independent experiments and expressed as mean±SD. **P<0.01.

Abbreviations: PTC, papillary thyroid carcinoma; qRT-PCR, quantitative reverse transcription-PCR.
