A number of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been found to play critical roles in oncogenesis and tumor progression. We aimed to investigate whether lncRNAs could act as prognostic biomarkers for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) that may assist us in evaluating disease status and prognosis for patients. We found 220 lncRNAs with expression alteration from the annotated 2773 lncRNAs approved by the HUGO gene nomenclature committee in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset, of which FAM41C, CTBP1-AS2, LINC00271, HAR1A, LINC00310 and HAS2-AS1 were associated with recurrence. After adjusting classical clinicopathogical factors and  BRAF   V600E   mutation, LINC00271 was found to be an independent risk factor for extrathyroidal extension, lymph node metastasis, advanced tumor stage III/IV and recurrence in multivariate analyses. Additionally, LINC00271 expression was significantly downregulated in PTCs versus adjacent normal tissues (P < 0.001). The Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) revealed that genes associated with cell adhesion molecules, cell cycle, P53 signaling pathway and JAK/STAT signaling pathway were remarkably enriched in lower-LINC00271 versus higher-LINC00271 tumors. In conclusion, LINC00271 was identified as a possible suppressor gene in PTC in our study, and it may serve as a potential predictor of poor prognoses in PTC.

Long intergenic non-coding RNA 271 is predictive of a poorer prognosis of papillary thyroid cancer
