摘　　要：Background:The incidence of colorectal cancer(CRC)has been increasing in recent years.Thus,the discovery of factors that can assist in alleviating CRC is urgently warranted.Methods:To identify a potential factor involved in the development of CRC,we screened the upregulated genes in tumor tissues through four datasets from an online database.The expression of reticulocalbin 1(RCN1),a Ca2+-binding protein,was upregulated in the four datasets.Based on loss-offunction experiments,the effect of RCN1 on cell viability was assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8(CCK-8)assay.The regulatory effect of RCN1 on apoptosis was evaluated through Annexin V-fluorescein 5-isothiocyanate(FITC)/propidium iodide(PI)staining assay and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling(TUNEL)assay in RKO and SW480 cells.Activation of endoplasmic reticulum(ER)stress signaling pathways was confirmed by estimating the phosphorylation and expression of PRKR-like ER kinase(PERK),inositol-requiring kinase-1(IRE1),transcription factor 6(ACT6),and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-homologous protein(CHOP).The intracellular Ca2+homeostasis regulated by RCN1 was determined through the detection of Ca2+concentration and mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP)measurement.Moreover,whether inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 1(IP3R1)was involved in the regulation of RCN1 in CRC was verified through the depletion of IP3R1 in RKO cells.Results:Knockdown of RCN1 reduced cell viability and facilitated apoptosis in RKO and SW480 cells.Phosphorylation of PERK and IRE1,activation of ATF6,and upregulation of CHOP were induced by the absence of RCN1,suggesting that the unfolded protein response(UPR)was activated in CRC cells.The concentration of Ca2+in mitochondria was increased after RCN1 depletion,followed by reduction in the MMP and release of cytochrome c from mitochondria to the cytoplasm in RKO and SW480 cells.Moreover,it was demonstrated that IP3R1 mediates the effect of RCN1 on apoptosis induced by ER stress in CRC cells.The downregulat
