The choice of treatment options and the prognosis of CRC patients are closely related to the KRAS genotype. Notably, microRNAs (miRNAs) have great application value in the diagnosis and treatment of CRC.Methods: The current study used qRT–PCR to analyze the expression of KRAS-targeting miRNAs and determine the correlation between miRNA expression and KRAS gene expression among patients with varying genotypes. The effect of the KRAS gene on the prognosis of patients with cancer was determined.Results: Eighty-two differentially expressed miRNAs were identified between CRC tumor and normal tissues: 58 dysregulated miRNAs were identified in patients with KRAS mutations, and 62 aberrantly expressed miRNAs were detected in patients with wild-type KRAS. Thirteen miRNAs were abnormally expressed in KRAS-mutant patients compared with KRAS wild-type patients. Some miRNAs not only acted as biomarkers for CRC but also indicated the genotype of KRAS.Conclusion: This finding is very important for patients who must choose from clinical treatment options based on KRAS results. Thus, the abnormal expression of miRNAs has great application potential for the selection of chemotherapy regimens for patients with cancer. The relationship between differential miRNA expression and the KRAS genotype is very important for studying related mechanisms in CRC.Keywords: colorectal, KRAS, microRNAs, biomarker |
