Abstract
Background. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the
most common cancer of the digestive system. However,
effective therapeutic targets against CRC have not been
found yet. Further, the relationship between the
expression of ring finger protein 126 (RNF126) and
CRC is not clear.
Material and Methods. The expression level of
RNF126 in CRC tissues and cell lines was detected by
immunohistochemical staining and western blot.
Subsequently, endogenous RNF126 expression was
inhibited in a CRC cell line using a short hairpin RNA.
Next, the effect of RNF126 on the properties of CRC
cells was studied through different experimental
methods.
Results. We found that the RNF126 protein was
mainly localized in the cytoplasm. High RNF126
expression was observed to be an independent risk factor
for poor prognosis in CRC patients. In vitro studies
showed that RNF126 was able to promote the
proliferation, migration, and invasion ability of CRC
cells.
Conclusion. RNF126 acts as an oncogene during
CRC development, and may serve as a novel target for
CRC treatment.
