| Core Tip |
In this case-control study, we analyzed the levels of 84 microRNAs in tumoral and peritumoral colonic mucosa of 19 patients with colorectal cancer compared to those expressed in the normal mucosa from 18 controls. For each patient, we also investigated the levels of 179 circulating microRNAs in comparison with a cohort of 16 controls. A relationship between tissue and plasma levels has been established along with correlations with tumoral features. Five microRNAs (miR-26b-5p, miR-101-3p, miR-30d-5p, miR-107, and miR-21-5p) presented the same trend in terms of fold change in both biological samples, suggesting them as putative non-invasive biomarkers for monitoring colorectal cancer progression. |
