The purpose of the present study was to analyze the crucial role of microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) involved in the proliferation and migration of colorectal cancer (CRC) and to investigate their underlying mechanisms. The present study discusses the expression and function of miR-552 in CRC. The expression level of miR-552 in CRC cells and tissues was observed, and it was suggested that the high expression of miR-552 accelerated the proliferation and migration of CRC cells in vitro. Notably, a result of the present study was that the cell fate determination factor Dachshund family transcription factor 1 (DACH1) was identified as a direct target of miR-552. Suppressing miR-552 expression in CRC cells increased endogenous DACH1 mRNA and protein levels, which was negatively correlated with miR-552. DACH1 performs an important role in the development of a number of neoplasms, and has the ability to regulate the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway as a novel predictive and diagnostic biomarker. Accordingly, it was concluded that miR-552 exerted a tumor-promoting role in CRC development by targeting DACH1, which may contribute to the increase in the rates of CRC proliferation and migration. miR-552 may serve as a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for CRC.
