Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. Successful treatment of CRC relies on accurate early diagnosis, which is currently a challenge due to its complexity and personalized pathologies. Thus, novel molecular biomarkers are needed for early CRC detection.
Gene and microRNA microarray profiling of CRC tissues and miRNA-seq data were analyzed. Candidate microRNA biomarkers were predicted using both CRC-specific network and miRNA-BD tool. Validation analyses were carried out to interrogate the identified candidate CRC biomarkers.
We identified miR-451a as a potential early CRC biomarker circulating in patient's serum. The dysregulation of miR-451a was revealed both in primary tumors and in patients' sera. Downstream analysis validated the tumor suppressor role of miR-451a and high sensitivity of miR-451a in CRC patients, further confirming its potential role as CRC circulation biomarker.
The miR-451a is a potential circulating biomarker for early CRC diagnosis.
结直肠癌(CRC)是全球癌症死亡的主要原因之一。CRC 的成功治疗依赖于准确的早期诊断,但其复杂性和个体化的病理特征使其成为一个挑战。因此,需要新的分子生物标志物来进行早期 CRC 检测。
分析 CRC 组织的基因和 microRNA 微阵列谱以及 miRNA-seq 数据。使用 CRC 特异性网络和 miRNA-BD 工具预测候选 microRNA 生物标志物。进行验证分析以检测鉴定的候选 CRC 生物标志物。
我们发现 miR-451a 是一种潜在的循环于患者血清中的早期 CRC 生物标志物。miR-451a 在原发性肿瘤和患者血清中均存在失调。下游分析验证了 miR-451a 的肿瘤抑制作用及其在 CRC 患者中的高灵敏度,进一步证实了其作为 CRC 循环生物标志物的潜在作用。
miR-451a 是早期 CRC 诊断的潜在循环生物标志物。
