Abstract Background Collagen type XII alpha 1 chain (COL12A1) is associated with human cancer progression. Nevertheless, the expression pattern and the function of COL12A1 in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) remain unknown. The present study was performed to assess the role of COL12A1 in iCCA. Results A total of 1669 genes, differentially expressed between iCCA and nontumor liver tissue samples, were identified as potential tumor-specific biomarkers for iCCA patients. Of these, COL12A1 was significantly upregulated in clinical iCCA tissue samples and correlated with epithelial–mesenchymal transition gene set enrichment score and advanced tumor stage in clinical iCCA. COL12A1-high expression was associated with the poor prognoses of iCCA patients (n = 421) from four independent cohorts. Promoter hypermethylation-induced downregulation of miR-424-5p resulted in COL12A1 upregulation in clinical iCCA. Experimental knockout of COL12A1 inhibited the proliferation, invasiveness and growth of iCCA cells. MiR-424-5p had a therapeutic potential in iCCA via directly targeting COL12A1. Conclusions Promoter hypermethylation-induced miR-424-5p downregulation contributes to COL12A1 upregulation in iCCA. COL12A1 is a promising druggable target for epigenetic therapy of iCCA.
