Abstract

To investigate the role of macrophage‑capping protein (CapG) in the development and progression of colorectal carcinoma (CRC), immunohistochemistry (IHC), Kaplan‑Meier survival analysis, wound healing and Transwell migration assays were performed. The IHC results demonstrated that CapG was relatively highly expressed in CRC tissue compared with non‑tumor tissue (P<0.001), and that the expression of CapG was significantly associated with the tumor site, differentiation, lymph node metastasis and clinical stage (P=0.021, P=0.036, P=0.012 and P=0.009, respectively). Wound healing and Transwell migration assays demonstrated that the reduction of CapG expression in a CRC cell line by RNA interference was associated with significantly impaired motility (P<0.001). Kaplan‑Meier survival analysis revealed that the expression of CapG in tumor samples was not significantly associated with disease‑free survival time. In conclusion, CapG was overexpressed in CRC and was associated with tumor progression; therefore, it may be a useful prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in CRC.
