SNORD1C maintains stemness and 5-FU resistance by activation of Wnt signaling pathway in colorectal cancer.

ABSTRACT: Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs that play indispensable roles in cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the role of SNORD1C in CRC is unclear. In the current study, SNORD1C expression was measured in CRC tissues using quantitative real-time PCR. A series of in vivo and in vitro experiments were performed to examine the functional role of SNORD1C in CRC. Quantitative real-time PCR, western blotting, sphere formation assay, and chemotherapy resistance analysis were conducted to illustrate the SNORD1C molecular mechanism. SNORD1C was upregulated in CRC and that high SNORD1C expression was related to poor prognosis. After knocking down SNORD1C in CRC cell lines, cell proliferation, colony formation, cell migration, and invasion were alleviated, while
