In their report that focused on the function of SDC3 in cancer, Yamada et al. [32] showed that the expression of SDC3 predicted the poor prognosis of patients with renal cell carcinoma and that SDC3 overexpression could reverse the negative effect of miR-144-5p on renal cell carcinoma cells due to their target relationship. This evidence concerns the gene SDC3 and renal cell carcinoma.
