Proposed model of miR-30c-5p-EVs as new avenues for the treatment of PTC cancer. PELI1 was highly expressed in PTC cancer, while miR-30c-5p was poorly expressed. MiR-30c-5p could inhibit PTC cell proliferation and migration by negatively mediating the expression of the PELI1. MiR-30c-5p-EVs could significantly downregulate PELI1 expression and suppress the progression of PTC in vitro and in vivo, concomitant with reduced p-AKT, Ki-67 and MMP-2 expression
