Abstract

Human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney malignancy in adults accounting for 2‑3% of all adult malignancies. In China, RCC accounts for ~0.5% of all cancer‑associated mortalities, ranking 16th among all cancer types. For early‑stage RCC, surgery is the recommended treatment. Molecularly targeted therapy is the preferred first‑line treatment for clear‑cell RCC. However, more potential targets are required. MicroRNA‑338‑3p (miR‑338‑3p) functions as a tumor suppressor in various cancers, but has not been studied in RCC. Accordingly, the present study investigated the role of miR‑338‑3p of RCC. It was demonstrated that miR‑338‑3p was present at low levels in RCC tissues. Also, overexpression of miR‑338‑3p inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis, and downregulation of miR‑338‑3p promoted cell proliferation. The 3' untranslated region of AKT serine/threonine kinase 3 was targeted by miR‑338‑3p. In conclusion, the data of the present study revealed the inhibitory function of miR‑338‑3p in RCC and suggested that miR‑338‑3p is novel therapeutic target for RCC, but further investigation is needed.
