Popis: lncRNAs, a group of eukaryotic cell genome-encoded transcripts, have been demonstrated to exert a notable impact on tumorigenesis. LINC01535, belonging to the lncRNA family, was reported to have an aberrant expression in certain types of cancers and thus affect cancer progression. Nevertheless, the expression pattern and potential roles of LINC01535 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remain to be elucidated. Here, LINC01535 expression was detected in ccRCC by RT-qPCR, cell proliferation by CCK-8 assays, and invasion by transwell assays. Besides, effects of LINC01535 on in vivo tumor growth were investigated by xenograft tumor models. The miR-146b-5p/LINC01535/TRIM2 interaction was evaluated via luciferase reporter assays. This study showed downregulation of LINC01535 in ccRCC. Moreover, LINC01535 upregulation attenuated in vitro ccRCC development and hindered in vivo tumor growth. Furthermore, LINC01535 sponged miR-146b-5p which had a negative correlation with LINC01535, and TRIM2 was a direct target of miR-146b-5p and mediated by LINC01535. Mechanically, LINC01535/miR-146b-5p/TRIM2 axis affected ccRCC progression by mediating the PI3K/Akt signaling. All in all, our observations suggest the LINC01535/miR-146b-5p/TRIM2 axis as a crucial role in ccRCC.
