MicroRNA-92b-3p is a prognostic oncomiR that targets TSC1 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.


ABSTRACT: Although several studies have reported that microRNA (miR)-92b-3p is involved in various cellular processes related to carcinogenesis, its physiological role in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains unclear. To clarify the role of miR-92b-3p in ccRCC, we compared miR-92b-3p expression levels in ccRCC tissues and adjacent normal renal tissues. Significant upregulation of miR-92b-3p was observed in ccRCC tissues. Overexpression of miR-92b-3p using a miRNA mimic promoted proliferation, migration, and invasion activities of ACHN cells. Functional inhibition of miR-92b-3p by a hairpin miRNA inhibitor suppressed Caki-2 cell growth and invasion activities in vitro. Mechanistically, it was found that miR-92b-3p directly targeted the TSC1 gene, a known upstream regulator of mTOR. Overexpression of miR-92b-3p decreased the protein expression of TSC1 and enhanced the downstream phosphorylation of p70S6 kinase, suggesting that the mTOR signaling pathway was activated by miR-92b-3p in RCC cells. Importantly, a multivariate Cox proportion hazard model, based on TNM staging and high levels of miR-92b-3p, revealed that miR-92b-3p expression (high vs. low hazard ratio, 2.86; 95% confidence interval, 1.20-6.83; P = .018) was a significant prognostic factor for overall survival of ccRCC patients with surgical management. Taken together, miR-92b-3p was found to act as an oncomiR, promoting cell proliferation by downregulating TSC1 in ccRCC.
