Hepatitis B X-interacting protein (HBXIP) is highly expressed in many cancers, but the correlation between the expression of HBXIP and the clinical significance and underlying molecular mechanisms in colorectal cancer (CRC) is still unclear. We selected 186 specimens from CRC patients for analyzing the relationship between the expression of HBXIP and the clinical-pathological features by immunohistochemistry. Migration and invasion experiments were performed to examine the effect of HBXIP on CRC cell metastasis. Besides, we also explored the possible molecular mechanism of HBXIP regulation of CRC cell metastasis by Western blot. Our data indicated that the HBXIP was overexpressed in CRC tissues. High HBXIP expression was correlated with metastasis and shorter survival times in patients with CRC and served as an independent factor for poor prognosis. Moreover, HBXIP promotes CRC metastasis by enhancing the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. Our findings provide the first evidence that HBXIP induces EMT to promote metastasis and predicts the poor prognosis of CRC. Therefore, HBXIP may become a new target for CRC treatment.
