Abstract

Increasing evidence indicates that miRNAs are involved in tumorigenesis of human renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, the role of miR-206 is still unknown. This study aimed to investigate the possible mechanism of miR-206 in progression of RCC. Here, compared with adjacent normal renal tissues and HK-2 cells, miR-206 level was markedly decreased, whereas CDK6 level was obviously increased in RCC tissues and cell lines. MiR-206 was inversely associated with lymph node metastasis and TNM stage, and acted as an independent prognostic factor in RCC. MiR-206 effectively caused apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase, and affected the growth of xenograft tumor of nude mice. MiR-206 also inhibited migration and invasion of RCC cells by modulating the expressions of EMT-related genes. Dual-luciferase assay demonstrated CDK6 was a direct target of miR-206. CDK6 silencing aggravated the inhibition effects of miR-206. In conclusion, miR-206 suppresses proliferation and EMT of RCC by inhibiting CDK6 expression. The miR-206/CDK6 axis may provide a novel insight into tumorigenesis of RCC.
