Regulation of spindle and kinetochore-associated protein 1 by antitumor miR-10a-5p in renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Analysis of our original microRNA (miRNA) expression signature of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) showed that microRNA-10a-5p (miR-10a-5p) was significantly downregulated in RCC specimens. The aims of the present study were to investigate the antitumor roles of miR-10a-5p and the novel cancer networks regulated by this miRNA in RCC cells. Downregulation of miR-10a-5p was confirmed in RCC tissues and RCC tissues from patients treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). Ectopic expression of miR-10a-5p in RCC cell lines (786-O and A498 cells) inhibited cancer cell migration and invasion. Spindle and kinetochore-associated protein 1 (SKA1) was identified as an antitumor miR-10a-5p target by genome-based approaches, and direct regulation was validated by luciferase reporte
