Abstract

MicroRNA (miR)‑338‑3p has been reported to be involved in tumor progression and development in various types of cancer. However, the biological function of miR‑338‑3p and its related molecular pathways involved in the progression of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the biological role and underlying mechanism of miR‑338‑3p in RCC cells. It was demonstrated that miR‑338‑3p expression level was significantly downregulated (P<0.05) in RCC tis­sues and cell lines. Clinical association analysis indicated that low expression of miR‑338‑3p was significantly associated with advanced TNM stage and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). Function assays revealed that restoration of miR‑338‑3p in RCC cells significantly inhibited cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion (P<0.05). Notably, sex‑determining region Y‑box 4 (SOX4) was identified as a direct target of miR‑338‑3p in RCC cells through a luciferase reporter assay, reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis. Furthermore, SOX4 overexpression partially rescued miR‑338‑3p‑mediated inhibition of cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion in RCC cells. These results suggested that miR‑338‑3p functioned as a tumor suppressor in RCC cells by modulating SOX4, suggesting that miR‑338‑3p may have a potential use in the treatment of RCC.
