Abstract
PurposeLong noncoding RNAs have been studied more and more as potential prognostic markers. However, the prognostic of LINC00460 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) has not been explored. In this study, the potential role of LINC00460 was investigated in ccRCC.Patients and MethodsOne hundred thirteen pairs of ccRCC tissues and para-normal tissues were collected. The expressions of LINC00460 in these tissues and ccRCC cells were evaluated via qRT-PCR. The prognostic value of LINC00460 was accessed with the use of Kaplan–Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards model analysis. The influence of LINC00460 on ccRCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion was determined via cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and Transwell assays.ResultsThe results revealed that LINC00460 was significantly enhanced in ccRCC tissues, as well as in ccRCC cell lines. The overexpression of LINC00460 was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis and TNM stage, and lead to poor overall survival. Knockdown of LINC00460 reduces the cell ability of proliferation, migration, and invasion. LINC00460 could sponge to miR-149-5p.ConclusionLINC00460 may be developed as a prognostic biomarker and molecular therapy target for ccRCC.
