Moreover, RT-qPCR results revealed that miR-599 was downregulated via overexpression of hsa_circ_0000285, while miR-599 was upregulated via knockdown of hsa_circ_0000285. Further experiments showed that miR-599 was a direct target of hsa_circ_0000285 in HCC. CONCLUSIONS Hsa_circ_0000285 could enhance cell metastasis of HCC by targeting miR-599 and might be a potential therapeutic target in HCC.OBJECTIVE Researchers have discovered the important role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in tumorigenesis. In this study, lncRNA SNHG16 was studied to identify whether it influences metastasis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS SNHG16 expression was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in both ccRCC cells and tissue samples. The association between prognosis of ccRCC patients and the expression of SNHG16 was analyzed through Kaplan-Meier method. Moreover, functional assays including wound healing assay and transwell assay were conducted. Bioinformatics analysis, qRT-PCR and Western blot assay were used to explore the underlying mechanism. Furthermore, animal experiments were conducted to explore the function of SNHG16 in vivo. RESULTS SNHG16 expression level was higher in ccRCC samples when compared with that in adjacent ones. Moreover, cell migration and cell invasion capacities were inhibited after SNHG16 was silenced in vitro. In addition, the mRNA and protein expression of CDKN1A was upregulated after silence of SNHG16. Furthermore, the expression level of CDKN1A was negatively related to the expression of SNHG16 in ccRCC tissues. The experiments in vivo showed that silence of SNHG16 remarkably repressed the metastasis of ccRCC. CONCLUSIONS These result
