Smad4 has recently been identified as a tumor suppressor gene in a variety of cancers, yet the role of Smad4 in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remained to be elusive. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to explore the function of Smad4 in RCC. The expression of Smad4 reduced the growth rate of RCC. The levels of Smad4 and forkhead box protein H1 (FOXH1) mRNA were reduced, while the levels of estrogen receptor were increased in RCC cells compared with those in human renal epithelial cells (P
