Abstract
The abnormal expression of transgelin-2 (TAGLN2) is related to tumor occurrence and progression. However, the underlying molecular mechanism of TAGLN2 in human colorectal cancer (CRC) is still poorly understood. Compared with adjacent tissues, TAGLN2 is overexpressed in CRC tissues. Its expression level is negatively correlated with the overall survival rate of patients with CRC. In addition, knockdown of TAGLN2 inhibited the proliferation and invasion of CRC cells. We also showed that TAGLN2 could interact with CD44 to regulate the Notch-1 signaling pathway. Our findings indicate there is increased TAGLN2 expression in CRC and that it may serve as a promising potential therapeutic target for CRC.
