Abstract: Objective To isolate and identify the exosomes secreted by papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) KTC-1 cells, and to investigate the effects of miRNA146b-5p in exosomes on the migration and invasion in vitro. Methods Exosomes secreted by KTC-1 cells were collected and identified. miRNA 146b-5p and its inhibitor were electroporated into exosomes and co-cultured with KTC-1 cells. Migration and invasion in vitro were examined. Results Exosomes secreted by KTC-1 cells were successfully isolated and identified. Exosomal miRNA146b-5p could enter KTC-1 cells and promote migration and invasion of KTC-1 cells in vitro. Conclusions Exosomal miRNA146b-5p can promote the migration and invasion of PTC in vitro. miRNA146b-5p silencing in exosomes might represent a potential approach against PTC.
