Abstract

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common and lethal subtype of renal cell carcinoma. Accumulation of cholesterol and cholesterol ester is a remarkable feature of ccRCC. However, the effect of cholesterol on ccRCC remains unknown. Out results showed that cholesterol treatment significantly promoted cells migration and invasion in ccRCC. Mechanism analysis indicated that cholesterol induced KLF5 expression. KLF5 positively regulated the transcription of miR-27a, increasing miR-27a expression. MiR-27a directly targeted FBXW7 by binding to its 3'UTR, reducing FBXW7 expression. FBXW7 silencing further increased the expression of KLF5 and miR-27a, and promoted cells migration and invasion. These results suggested that cholesterol accelerated ccRCC cells migration and invasion by regulating KLF5/miR-27a/FBXW7 axis.
