TELO2 induced progression of colorectal cancer by binding with RICTOR through mTORC2.

ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common cancer worldwide, and its treatment strategies are limited. The underlying mechanism of CRC progression remains to be determined. Telomere maintenance 2 (TELO2) is a mTOR‑interacting protein. Both the role and molecular mechanism of TELO2 in cancer progression remain unknown. In this study, the gene expression database of normal and tumor tissue, in addition to western blot analysis, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were used to determine the expression and location of TELO2 in CRC and normal tissues. Clinical features of a tissue array were collected and analyzed. WST‑1, soft agar, flow cytometry, wound healing, and invasion assays were employed to verify the role of TELO2 in the growth, cell cycle, migration, and invasion of CRC cells. The correlation be
