Our previous studies of the microRNA (miRNA) advanced-stage RCC patients is extremely poor (5-10%) due to expression signature in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) recurrence or distant metastasis (2). At diagnosis, nearly 30% indicated that miRNA-1274a (miR-1274a) was significantly of RCC patients present with metastasis (3). Current treat- upregulated in clinical specimens, suggesting that miR-1274a ments for RCC include molecular-targeted therapeutics such may act as an oncogenic miRNA in ccRCC. The aim of this study as anti-angiogenic multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitors or mTOR was to investigate the functional roles of miR-1274a and identify inhibitors, which are being widely used for patients with downstream tumor-suppressive targets regulated by miR-1274a metastatic or recurrent RCC. However, these types of therapies in ccRCC cells. Functional studies of miR-1274a were carried are not expected to have curative effects as they only slightly out by anti-miRNA to investigate cell proliferation and apoptosis extend progression-free survival (4). Therefore, to improve the using the A498, ACHN and Caki1 ccRCC cell lines. Suppression outcome of patients with RCC, it is necessary to fully elucidate of miR-1274a significantly inhibited cancer cell proliferation the molecular mechanisms underlying the development and and induced apoptosis in the ccRCC cells. Gene expression data progression of RCC and the associated oncogenic pathways. combined with in silico analysis and luciferase reporter assays The discovery of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in the demonstrated that bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 1B human genome was an important conceptual breakthrough, (BMPR1B) was directly regulated by miR-1274a. Moreover, and the understanding of ncRNAs is important for progress in TCGA database as well as immunohistochemistry demonstrated cancer research. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small low expression of BMPR1B in ccRCC clinical specimens ncRNA molecules (19-22 bases in length) that regulate protein- compared to that in normal kidney tissues. We conclude that loss coding gene expression by repressing translation or cleaving of oncogenic miR-1274a reduced cancer cell proliferation and RNA transcripts in a sequence-specific manner (5). miRNAs induced apoptosis in ccRCC through targeting BMPR1B. Our are predicted to regulate more than 60% of the protein-coding data revealing molecular pathways and a target gene regulated genes in the human genome (6).

Email: [email protected] Supplemental Methods Plasmids, Transfections, and Lentiviral Generation and Transduction Transfections of si-RNAs werr performed using the Lipofectamine 2000 Transfection Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Constitutive Cdkn1a overexpression cell lines were generated by using Cdkn1a mouse Tagged ORF Clone (Origene (NM_007669)). Cdkn1a ORF was also subcloned into dox-inducible pTRIPZ-GFP vector to generate doxycycline inducible cell lines using EcoRI and AgeI restriction cut sites. Constitutive Cdkn1a shRNAs were purchased from Milipore sigma. The sequences used in the experiments are listed in table S11. Dox- inducible shRNAs were expressed in Tet-pLKO-puro vector with a scramble sequence as the non-targeting control.

Correspondence: JEROME MOREAUX - [email protected] Supplementary experiment procedures Kinome Index A list of 661 genes of kinases or kinases related have been extracted from literature9, and challenged in the HM cohort for OS prognostic values The prognostic value of each of the genes was computed using maximally selected rank test from R package MaxStat. After Benjamini Hochberg multiple testing correction a list of 104 significant prognostic genes has been extracted. This second list has then been challenged for similar prognosis value in the UAMS-TT2 validation cohort.
