Background:Ribosome-binding protein 1 (RRBP1) has been implicated in the regulation of unfolded protein response, which is involved in almost every aspect of cancer development. We aimed to explore the significance of RRBP1 in the progression and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC).Methods:The study population consisted of 856 patients with stage I–III CRC from two hospitals. RRBP1 expression was examined by immunohistochemisty (IHC) in colorectal tissues. The correlation of RRBP1 expression and CRC occurrence was assessed in paired cancer-adjacent tissues. Factors contributing to prognosis were evaluated in a training-validation design with univariate and multivariate Cox analysis. Colorectal cancer aggressiveness caused by RRBP1 knockdown or overexpression was evaluated in CRC cells.Results:RRBP1 was aberrantly overexpressed in CRC. Compared with low-RRBP1 patients, high-RRBP1 patients had shorter disease-specific survival in the training (hazard ratio (HR), 2.423; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.531–3.835) and validation cohorts (HR, 3.749; 95% CI, 2.166–6.448) in multivariate Cox analysis. High-RRBP1 independently predicted a shorter disease-free survival (HR, 4.821; 95% CI, 3.220–7.218) in the validation cohort. RRBP1 knockdown reduced the aggressiveness of CRC cells in vitro and inhibited the growth of CRC xenografts in vivo.Conclusions:High RRBP1 expression facilitates CRC progression and predicts an unfavourable post-operative prognosis.MainColorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the world, with more than one million newly diagnosed patients annually worldwide (Cunningham et al, 2010). Of those, approximately 14–25% are diagnosed with distant metastasis (Jemal et al, 2011), and usually have a poor prognosis. Surgical resection is especially effective for patients with localised and regional CRC (Jemal et al, 2011). However, 30–50% of those patients after surgery will develop local recurrence and metachronous metastases, and many of whom will die from the recurrence (Schmoll et al, 2012). Post-operative chemotherapy is beneficial to those patients who are more likely to develop recurrence. However, overtreatment of patients who may not develop recurrence tends to be harmful, owing to many side effects of chemotherapy (Iinuma et al, 2011; Yothers et al, 2013). Therefore, it is of great importance to find patients in the early stage and develop certain selection criteria, such as biomarkers for prognostic classification of CRC.
