Abstract

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC) is an aggressive cancer with a poor survival rate and is the second most common type of primary cancer of the hepatobiliary system. At present, the molecular mechanisms of IHCC initiation and progression remain unclear. Recent evidence has indicated that long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve a crucial role in cancer development; however, the functional role of lncRNAs in IHCC has not been investigated in detail. In the present study, a marked overexpression of lncRNA colon cancer‑associated transcript 2 (CCAT2) was observed in IHCC cell lines and clinical specimens. Statistical analysis of IHCC clinicopathological characteristics and CCAT2 expression data revealed that high CCAT2 expression levels correlated with microvascular invasion, differentiation grade, tumor (T), lymph node (N), metastasis (M) and overall TNM stages of IHCC (P<0.05). Kaplan‑Meier analysis demonstrated that CCAT2 upregulation was associated with poor overall survival and progression‑free survival in IHCC. Furthermore, high CCAT2 expression was identified as an independent risk factor of IHCC poor prognosis in both univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. The role of CCAT2 in promoting IHCC cell proliferation, motility and invasion was further confirmed with in vitro assays. Therefore, CCAT2 may promote IHCC progression and metastasis, and may be a promising prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in IHCC.
