MicroRNA-31 (miR-31) is an evolutionarily conserved microRNA, and its biological function in colorectal cancer and other cancers is controversial. In this study, we identified the host gene of mouse miR-31 and found that miR-31 was over-expressed in both human colorectal cancer and mouse colon cancer models. We here developed a miR-31 conditional knockout mouse model that allows for colon epithelium specific deletion of miR-31 to investigate its functionality in colon cancer development. We demonstrated that mice with miR-31 conditional deletion resulted in more severe colitis-associated cancer than wild-type, and we further identified Wdr5 as an important target of miR-31.
微小RNA-31（miR-31）是一种进化上保守的微小RNA，其在结直肠癌和其他癌症中的生物学功能存在争议。在本研究中，我们鉴定了小鼠miR-31的宿主基因，并发现miR-31在人类结直肠癌和小鼠结肠癌模型中均过度表达。我们在此构建了一种miR-31条件性敲除小鼠模型，该模型允许在结肠上皮中特异性缺失miR-31，以研究其在结肠癌发生中的功能。我们证明，与野生型相比，miR-31条件性缺失的小鼠导致更严重的结肠炎相关癌症，并且我们进一步确定Wdr5是miR-31的一个重要靶标。
