Popis: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of death from cancer worldwide. Immature colon carcinoma transcript-1 (ICT1) has been reported to be correlated with lung cancer; however, whether ICT1 is a functional gene in CRC, as well as the molecular mechanism underlying ICT1 mediation of colorectal-tumor formation, remains unknown.The expression of ICT1 was firstly determined by using immunohistochemistry in 861 CRC specimens. The correlation of ICT1 expression with clinicopathological parameters and the survival rate was analyzed. Furthermore, we investigated the effect of ICT1 silencing on CRC cell proliferation and migration by MTT, colony formation, flow cytometry, and transwell in vitro.ICT1 is highly expressed in a cohort of human CRCs, and that higher ICT1 expression may lead to reduced overall survival rate of CRC. Likewise, ICT1 silencing lowered the cell viability through cell-cycle arrest, inhibited cell migration, and induced apoptosis in CRC. We further revealed a novel mechanism in which ICT1 promoted CRC growth via the intracellular AMPK, SAPK/JNK, and PARP signaling pathways.Our data showed that ICT1 could be an important target for CRC diagnosis and treatment.
