Abstract

Long non‑coding RNA‑imprinted maternally expressed transcript (non‑protein coding) (H19) has been previously identified to be involved in the development of a number of types of cancer. However, the function of H19 in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer remains unclear. The expression level of H19 in colorectal tumor tissues, and the association between H19 expression and clinicopathological variables and prognosis was investigated in the present study. In addition, the effect of H19 overexpression on viability, migration and epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) of colon cancer cells was investigated in HCT‑116 and SW‑480 cells. The results of the present study suggest that overexpression of H19 is associated with decreased recurrence‑free survival and overall survival rates in patients with colorectal cancer, and increased viability and migration in colon cancer cells. The induction of the EMT process may be an underlying molecular mechanism associated with the H19‑induced increased metastasis potential of colon cancer cells.
