This study focuses on investigating the metabolism-related gene profile and prognosis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients. The research data from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, including GSE40435, GSE53757, and GSE53000, were used to analyze the consistently differentially expressed RNAs (cDERs) by the MetaDE limma package. Gene expression profiling associated with metabolism was downloaded from the GSEA database. The cancer genome atlas (TCGA) dataset of ccRCC (the training set) and RNA sequencing data of E-MTAB-3267 from EBI ArrayExpress database (the validation set) were obtained to construct a prognostic model. A series of bioinformatics analysis, including functional enrichment analysis, Cox regression analysis, and constructing a prognostic score (PS) model, was performed. Further  in vitro  experiments including cell proliferation assay and flow cytometry were performed to validate our results. We constructed a metabolism-related prognostic model based on 27 DElncRNAs and 126 DEGs. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis revealed that 19 GO terms and 9 KEGG signaling pathways were significantly associated with lipid metabolic pathways. Furthermore, we generated a nomogram illustrating the association between the identified DERs and the tumor recurrence risk in ccRCC. The results from experimental validation showed that lncRNA SNHG20 was significantly upregulated in tumor tissues compared with adjacent tissues. Knockdown of SNHG20 suppressed the proliferation and induced cell cycle G0/G1 arrest, and apoptosis in ccRCC cells. Our study might contribute to a better understanding of metabolic pathways and to the further development of novel therapeutic approaches for ccRCC.
