Background/Aim: The aim of the present study was to assess the role of enigma protein in survival of thyroid carcinoma cells. Materials and Methods: BCPAP and 8505C human thyroid carcinoma cells were used. Cell viability using CCK-8 assay, the percentage of dead cells using trypan blue assay, cytotoxic activity using cytotoxicity assay, cell growth rate and cell migration using wound-healing assay were performed. Results: In enigma siRNA-transfected cells, cell viability, and the protein levels of AKT and survivin decreased. The percentage of dead cells, cytotoxic activity and cleaved poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) protein levels increased. After transfection of p110a plasmid, the alterations in cell viability, the percentage of dead cells, cytotoxic activity, and protein levels of AKT, survivin and cleaved PARP were abrogated. Cell growth rate and cell migration were reduced with reduction of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) protein levels, as well as increased p53 and p21 protein levels. Conclusion: Enigma affects cell survival through modulation of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/AKT signaling and survivin, and regulates cell proliferation and migration via involvement of MMP-2, MMP-9, p53 and p21 in thyroid carcinoma cells.
