Recent studies have showed that Small nucleolar RNA host genes (SNHGs) acted as a subset of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have critical roles in human cancer carcinogenesis. However, the biological functions of SNHGs in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) have not been fully investigated. In this study, we screened an oncogenic lncRNA termed SNHG6 using RNA‐Seq data of ccRCC from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Quantitative real‐time PCR was then used to demonstrate the expression of SNHG6 in ccRCC tissues. SNHG6 overexpression is highly associated with malignant features in patients and is a prognostic indicator. SNHG6 significantly promotes ccRCC cell proliferation and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistic investigations identified that SNHG6 exerts oncogenic effects by interacting with YBX1, and then, enhancing HIF1α translation. Taken together, SNHG6 promotes ccRCC progression by binding YBX1 and may serve as a novel molecular target for ccRCC therapy.
