Our findings revealed that down-regulated SNHG1 could inhibit CRC tumor genesis and SNHG1 might act as an important potential therapeutic target in CRC treatment.
SNHG1 upregulation was observed in CRC tissues and cell lines, which was associated with the lymph node metastasis, advanced TNM stage and poorer prognosis.
Taken together, the results of our studies illuminate how SNHG1 formed a regulatory network to confer an oncogenic function in colorectal cancer and suggest that SNHG1 may serve as a potential target for colorectal cancer diagnosis and treatment.
It seemed that there was a high potential for highly expressed SNHG1 and lowly expressed miR-497/miR-195 to symbolize CRC patients' unfavorable prognosis (p < .05).
Altogether, our findings demonstrated that lncRNA SNHG1, was high expressed in colorectal cancer tissues and may serve as a tumor oncogene through regulating WNT/β-catenin signal pathway, which provided a candidate diagnostic biomarker and a promising therapeutic target for patients with CRC.
