To assess the function of AURKA in thyroid cancer in vitro, we constructed cell lines with stable knockdown and overexpression of AURKA (Fig. 2A) and observed that knockdown of AURKA in PTC cells significantly decreased the viability of TPC-1 cells and overexpression of AURKA increased the viability of KTC cells (Fig. 2B). Here, AURKA is linked to thyroid cancer.
