LIM and SH3 protein 1 (LASP-1) is demonstrated to play a key role in occurrence and development of tumors. However, the expression and function of LASP-1 in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) remain largely unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the effect of regulated LASP-1 expression on migration, invasion, proliferation, and apoptosis of CCA cells and on tumorigenesis in vivo, and to examine clinico-oncological correlates of LASP-1 expression. Expression of LASP-1 by immunohistochemistry was evaluated in CCA tissue samples. HCCC-9810 and RBE cells were transfected with the LASP-1 small interfering RNA (siRNA), and the effect of knocking down LASP-1 gene expression on cell migration, invasion, proliferation, and apoptosis were examined by wound healing, transwell assays, CCK-8 assays, colony formation, and flow cytometry assays, respectively. Xenograft tumor model was used to validate the effect of downregulated LASP-1 in vivo. Our results demonstrated that LASP-1 was over-expressed in CCA tissues, positively correlating with larger tumors, poor histological differentiation, lymph node metastasis, advanced TNM stage, and poor prognosis in CCA patients (P < 0.05). Downregulation of LASP-1 in HCCC-9810 and RBE cell lines significantly increased cell apoptosis and suppressed cell migration, invasion, and proliferation in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo. Our results indicate that LASP-1 may essentially involve in the metastasis and growth of CCA and clinical significance of LASP-1 may reside in function as a biomarker to predict prognosis and as a promising therapeutic strategy for CCA patients by the inhibition of LASP-1 expression.
