In summary, miR-582-5p, which was regulated by RUNX1, inhibited tumor growth and invasion by targeting COL5A1, indicating that miR-582-5p may act as a biomarker and that the RUNX1/miR-582-5p/COL5A1 axis could be a potential therapeutic target for ccRCC. This evidence concerns the gene COL5A1 and nonpapillary renal cell carcinoma.
