PURPOSE: To explore the significance of miR-410 expression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) and its biological function in CCRCC. METHODS: A total of 113 patients with CCRCC admitted to our hospital and 113 healthy individuals over the same period were enrolled. MiR-410 in the tissues and serum of patients with CCRCC was quantified, and the diagnostic value of miR-410 in CCRCC and the relationship between miR-410 and prognosis of patients with CCRCC were analyzed. In addition, miR-410 mimic and miR-410 inhibitor were adopted to regulate miR-410 in CCRCC cells (Caki-2), and then the changes in the proliferation, migration, invasion, and cell cycle of Caki-2 cells were determined. Moreover, tumorigenicity in nude mice was carried out to determine the effect of miR-410 on the tumor growth of CCRCC. RESULTS: MiR-410 was expressed at a high level in CCRCC patients, and had a high diagnostic accuracy [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.916]. In addition, miR-410 was an independent risk factor for the survival prognosis of patients with CCRCC, and its high expression indicated poor prognosis of the patients. Inhibiting miR-410 suppressed cell proliferation, cycle progression, migration, invasion and tumor growth in vivo and promoted cell apoptosis. CONCLUSION: MiR-410 is a possible biological indicator for the diagnosis and prognosis of CCRCC, and is also an independent risk factor for the survival prognosis of CCRCC patients. In addition, miR-410 plays a role as an oncogene in CCRCC and promotes the malignant progression of CCRCC.
