ADAM12 and thyroid gland carcinoma: Mechanistically, using dual-luciferase reporter, RNA pull-down, and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays, LINC00284 was identified to competitively bind to microRNA-30d-5p (miR-30d-5p), which was observed to be expressed at low levels in thyroid cancer tissues and cells and directly targets the oncogene a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 12 (ADAM12).
