Colorectal cancer ( CRC ) accounts for over 600 000 deaths annually worldwide. The current study aims to evaluate the value of proto‐oncogene PIM 1 as a therapeutic target in CRC and investigate the anticancer activity of hispidulin, a naturally occurring phenolic flavonoid compound, against CRC . Immunohistochemistry analysis showed that PIM 1 was upregulated in CRC tissue. The role of PIM 1 as an oncogene was evidenced by the fact that PIM 1 knockdown inhibits cell growth, induces apoptosis, and suppresses invasion. Our results showed that hispidulin exerts antitumor activity in CRC through inhibiting the expression of PIM 1 . Moreover, our findings revealed that hispidulin downregulated the expression of PIM 1 by inhibiting JAK 2/ STAT 3 signaling by generating reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, our in vivo studies showed that hispidulin can significantly inhibit tumor growth and metastasis in CRC . Collectively, our results provide an experimental basis for trialing hispidulin in CRC treatment. PIM 1 can be considered a potential therapeutic target in CRC .
