Abstract Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most prevalent cancers. Long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) have been indicated as a mediator acted in tumorigenesis of RCC. However, the mechanism of LINC00460 on RCC is yet to be investigated. This study aimed to investigate the potential function of LINC00460 and underlying mechanism of RCC. We detected LINC00460 expression in RCC tissues and the prognosis in RCC patients using Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) website and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. LINC00460 level in normal renal cell line and RCC cell lines were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). We study the effects of LINC00460 on proliferation, migration, invasion, apoptosis in RCC cells lines using a series of in vivo and in vitro experiments. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis for the whole transcriptome was applied to searching potential LINC00460 related signal pathway in RCC. We identified the significant up-regulated expression level of LINC00460 in RCC tissues and cell lines. Elevated LINC00460 was correlated with shorter survival of RCC patients. Overexpression of LINC00460 promoted cell viability, proliferation, invasion and migration, while down-regulation of LINC00460 exerted inhibitory effect on these activities. We crucially identified that LNC00460 promotes development of RCC by influencing the PI3K/AKT pathway. Knockdown of LNC00460 decreased the phosphorylation of AKT and mTOR. The key finding of our study provided a new evidence suggesting that LINC00460 functions as an oncogene in RCC pathogenesis by mediating the PI3K/AKT pathway, which may provide a new target for the treatment of RCC.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a crucial role in tumor angiogenesis. VEGF expression in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) is mostly regulated by hypoxia, predominantly via the hypoxia-induced factor (HIF)/Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) pathway. Advances in our knowledge of VEGF role in tumor angiogenesis, growth, and progression have permitted development of new approaches for the treatment of mRCC, including several agents targeting VEGF and VEGF receptors: tyrosine kinase pathway, serine/threonine kinases,α5β1-integrin, deacetylase, CD70, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), AKT, and phosphatidylinositol 3′-kinase (PI3K). Starting from sorafenib and sunitinib, several targeted therapies have been approved for mRCC treatment, with a long list of agents in course of evaluation, such as tivozanib, cediranib, and VEGF-Trap. Here we illustrate the main steps of tumor angiogenesis process, defining the pertinent therapeutic targets and the efficacy and toxicity profiles of these new promising agents.
