Core Tip This study elucidated the oncogenic role of Myc-associated zinc finger protein (MAZ) in colorectal cancer (CRC), demonstrating its ability to promote cancer cell migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition by modulating the ubiquitin-like with PHD and RING finger domains 1-esophageal cancer-related gene 4 signaling pathway. MAZ was up-regulated in CRC cell species, and inhibition of its expression significantly inhibited cell invasion, invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition and tumor metastasis. Dual-luciferase reporter assay, chromatin immunoprecipitation quantitative polymerase chain reaction and methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction further validated the interaction of the MAZ-ubiquitin-like with PHD and RING finger domains 1-esophageal cancer-related gene 4 axis, providing convincing evidence for MAZ as a potential therapeutic target for CRC.
