The circular RNA PRKCI (circ-PRKCI; ID: hsa_circ_0122683) is highly expressed in human papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) tumors according to GSE93522 dataset. However, its role in PTC tumorigenesis remains to be documented. Here, quantitative real-time PCR showed that expression of circ-PRKCI was abnormally upregulated in human PTC patients' tumors and cells, and higher circ-PRKCI might predict lymph node metastasis and recurrence. Functionally, cell behaviors were measured by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, colony formation assay, fluorescence-activated cell sorting method, scratch wound assay, transwell assay, western blotting, and assay kits for glucose and lactate. As a result, circ-PRKCI knockdown could suppress cell cycle progression of PTC cells and restrain the abilities of cell proliferation, colony formation, wound closure, invasion, glucose consumption and lactate production, accompanied with decreased levels of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2), MMP9 and Snail. Moreover, above-mentioned inhibition could be imitated by overexpressing microRNA-335-5p (miR-335). Molecularly, circ-PRKCI functioned as a sponge for miR-335 and miR-335 could further targeted E2F transcription factor-3 (E2F3), according to dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation. However, downregulating miR-335 diminished the effects of circ-PRKCI role on cell growth, metastasis and glycolysis in PTC cells; besides, there was a counteractive effect between miR-335 upregulation and E2F3 upregulation in PTC cells as well. Furthermore, xenograft experiment revealed that silencing circ-PRKCI could retard tumor growth of PTC cells in vivo. Collectively, circ-PRKCI exerted oncogenic role in PTC by antagonizing cell progression and glycolysis via regulating miR-335/E2F3 axis, suggesting circ-PRKCI was a potential biomarker and target for PTC.
