Abstract

The heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C (HNRNPC) plays a crucial role in tumorigenesis, yet its role in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) remains elusive. Herein, we elucidated the function and molecular mechanism of HNRNPC in PTC tumorigenesis and progression. Our study unveiled a significant upregulation of HNRNPC in PTC, and knockdown of HNRNPC markedly inhibited the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of BCPAP cells. Furthermore, HNRNPC modulated PKM alternative splicing in BCPAP cells primarily through m6A modification. Additionally, by upregulating PKM2 expression, HNRNPC promoted aerobic glycolysis in BCPAP cells, thereby facilitating malignant progression in PTC. In summary, our findings demonstrate that HNRNPC regulates PKM alternative splicing through m6A methylation modification and promotes the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of PTC through glucose metabolism pathways mediated by PKM2. These discoveries provide new biomarkers for screening and diagnosing PTC patients and offer novel therapeutic targets for personalized treatment strategies.
