Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent world cancer and oncogenic beta-catenin is frequently dysregulated in CRC. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical roles in colorectal tumorigenesis; however, the contributions of lncRNAs to human CRC remain largely unknown. In this study, we report that LINC00265 is upregulated and predicts poor clinical outcome in human patients with CRC. Depletion of LINC00265 and ZMIZ2 distinctly attenuates colorectal tumorigenesis in mice. Mechanistically, LINC00265 augments ZMIZ2 expression by acting as an endogenous sponge against several miRNAs, which directly target ZMIZ2 expression. Moreover, ZMIZ2 recruits the enzyme USP7, which deubiquitylates and stabilizes beta-catenin, thereby facilitating colorectal tumorigenesis. In addition, beta-catenin mediates LINC00265 and ZMIZ2 oncogenic phenotypes. Taken together, the LINC00265-ZMIZ2-beta-catenin signaling axis plays a critical role in the colorectal tumorigenesis, which may be a potential therapeutic target.
