The morbidity of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is on the rise, but its pathogenesis is still poorly understood. NR4A1 is a transcription factor primarily involving a wide range of pathophysiological responses, but its relationship with PTC malignancy remains unclear. This study demonstrates that high NR4A1 expression is strongly associated with poor survival outcomes in PTC patients. The depletion of NR4A1 significantly inhibited the proliferation of PTC cells by negating the LEF1-mediated oncogenic alteration. Mechanistically, NR4A1 directly binds to the promoter region of LEF1 and leads to crosstalk with histone acetylation and DNA demethylation to transcriptionally upregulate LEF1 expression, subsequently promoting downstream growth-related genes expressions in PTC. In the light of our findings, NR4A1 may be an emerging driving factor in PTC pathogenesis and progression.
