Cancer-associated fibroblasts drive colorectal cancer cell progression through exosomal miR-20a-5p-mediated targeting of PTEN and stimulating interleukin-6 production

Abstract Background This study evaluated the clinical relevance of a set of five serum-derived circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) in colorectal cancer (CRC). Additionally, we investigated the role of miR-20a-5p released by exosomes derived from cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in the context of CRC....
