The present study aimed to investigate the effects of microRNA expression in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). It was identified that the expression of microRNA-26b-5p (miR-26b-5p) was downregulated in ICC tissues compared with matched adjacent non-tumor tissues. Furthermore, miR-26b-5p expression was downregulated in metastatic ICC tumor tissues and invasive ICC cell line subpopulations compared with non-metastatic tumor tissue and the parental ICC cells. In vitro studies demonstrated that transfection with an miR-26b-5p mimic inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of RBE and HCCC-9810 cells, whereas an miR-26b-5p inhibitor promoted these abilities. S100 calcium-binding protein A7 (S100A7) was predicted as a direct target of miR-26b-5p. Transfection with an miR-26b-5p mimic decreased S100A7 expression, whereas an miR-26b-5p inhibitor increased S100A7 expression. The result of a dual luciferase reporter assay also indicated this interaction. S100A7 was therefore confirmed as a direct target of miR-26b-5p in ICC. The knockdown of S100A7 abrogated the effect of miR-26b-5p on cell migration in RBE and HCCC-9810 cells. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that miR-26b-5p suppresses the proliferation, migration and invasion of ICC cells by suppressing S100A7.
