Inflammation status are especially for tumor growth, and microRNAs (miRNAs) confirmed to participate in cancer occurrence and progression. However, the role of miR-483-5p and the relation with inflammation have not been elucidated in renal cell cancer (RCC). In this study, we intended to explore miR-483-5p expression and the relationship of inflammation status in clear cell renal cell cancer (ccRCC). Using microarray and qRT-PCR (Quantitative Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction), we investigated the miR-483-5p expression in plasma and ccRCC cancer tissues. Then, we analyzed the correlation of miR-483-5p with clinicopathological parameters and inflammation status in ccRCC. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves analysis was used to analyze the discrimination efficiency of miR-483-5p. in vitro experiments explored the biological role of miR-483-5p in renal cancer cells. miR-483-5p expression was upregulated in plasma of 5 patients with microarray and 12 patients with qRT-PCR in ccRCC at day 7 postoperatively. In addition, low expression of miR-483-5p was found in 58 ccRCC cancer tissues when compared with non-cancerous tissues. miR-483-5p could sufficiently discriminate ccRCC with the area under the curve (AUC) of 0.739 (P < .0001) from normal tissues. Higher expression of miR-483-5p was positively related to lower tumor stage and higher relative expression of miR-483-5p was inversely related to neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (P = .03) and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) (P = .026). Overexpression of miR-483-5p lead to reverse epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process, restrain cell proliferation and metastasis of renal cancer cells. Our findings suggest that miR-483-5p expression is negatively correlation with inflammation status and may be a potential plasma biomarker for ccRCC.
