Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is the as the most frequently observed biliary tract malignancy, which has low survival rate in addition to constrained treatment options; nevertheless, the fundamental molecular phenomenon underlying malignant progression of CCA is quite ambiguous. Recently long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been found to have significant regulatory functions in several human cancers. Herein, we have figured out that lncRNA  SNHG1 , with substantially enhanced expression in CCA, is capable of acting as the oncogenic molecule of CCA. As revealed by our data,  SNHG1  knockdown extensively inhibited CCA cell migration as well as proliferation in vitro and in vivo. In addition, in accordance with the findings of the RNA-Seq analysis,  SNHG1  knockdown exhibited a significant impact on the target genes that were linked to cell migration and regulation of cell proliferation, in addition to the apoptotic phenomenon. In a mechanistic manner, we also showed that  SNHG1  bound to the histone methyltransferase enhancer of the zeste homolog 2 (EZH2, which is regarded as the catalytic subunit of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), which is an extremely conserved protein complex regulating gene expression with the help of methylating lysine 27 on histone H3), specifying the histone alteration pattern on the target genes, including  CDKN1A , and, as a result, altered the CCA cell biology. These data verified a major function of the epigenetic regulation of  SNHG1  in CCA oncogenesis, in addition to its likely function as a target for CCA interruption.
