Abstract
Recently, numerous studies revealed that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play complex roles in the field of tumor biology, while the functions of lncRNA in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remain largely unknown. In the current study, we retrieved Oncomine database and found a lncRNA colorectal neoplasia differentially expressed (CRNDE) which is highly expressed in different cohorts of RCC patients; this clue reminds us that CRNDE might exert its functions in RCC tumorigenesis. We then detected the level of CRNDE in fresh RCC tissues and found that CRNDE is significantly up-regulated compared with adjacent tissues. Furthermore, both loss and gain function assays revealed that CRNDE promotes RCC cell proliferation and growth both in vitro and in vivo.In addition, we found that CRNDE regulates the cell cycle transition from G0/G1 stage to S stage and modulates the expression of CCND1 and CCNE1. Moreover, we further illustrated that CRNDE activates Wnt/β-catenin signaling in RCC cell lines. Taken together, in the current study, we found that lncRNA CRNDE is highly expressed in RCC malignant tissues and the heightened CRNDE robustly promotes RCC cell proliferation through activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling; our findings enlarge our knowledge in the molecular pathology of RCC tumorigenesis.
