    Background. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the main aggressive subtype of kidney cancer. Circular RNAs have been shown to exert critical roles in RCC. However, little is known about the regulatory mechanism of hsa_circ_0015004 (circSDHC) in RCC. Methods. 35 patients with RCC were recruited in the research. Expression changes of circSDHC were determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The effects of circSDHC inhibition on cell proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, migration, and invasion were analyzed. The regulation mechanism of circSDHC was surveyed by bioinformatics analysis. The effect of circSDHC on tumorigenesis was validated by xenograft assay. Results. We observed an observable elevation in circSDHC expression in RCC tissues and cell lines. Functionally, circSDHC silencing decreased xenograft tumor growth and induced RCC cell apoptosis, repressed RCC cell proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, and invasion in vitro. Mechanically, circSDHC modulated centrosomal protein 55 (CEP55) expression by functioning as a miR-130a-3p sponge. Also, miR-130a3p silencing offset circSDHC knockdown-mediated impacts on malignant phenotypes and angiogenesis of RCC cells. Furthermore, exogenetic expression of CEP55 counteracted miR-130a-3p overexpressionmediated effects on malignant phenotypes and angiogenesis of RCC cells. Conclusion. Silencing of circSDHC restrained cell malignant phenotypes and angiogenesis via reducing CEP55 expression by releasing miR-130a-3p in RCC, providing a new mechanism for understanding the progression of RC
