Natural Products Treat Colorectal Cancer by Regulating miRNA

Diseases are evolving as living standards continue to improve. Cancer is the main cause of death and a major public health problem that seriously threatens human life. Colorectal cancer one top ten most common malignant tumors in China, ranking second after gastric among gastrointestinal tumors, its incidence rate increasing dramatically each year due changes dietary habits lifestyle world’s population. Although conventional therapies, such surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, have profoundly impacted treatment colorectal (CRC), drug resistance toxicity remain substantial challenges. Natural products, therapeutic agents, considered safest alternative for treating CRC. In addition, there evidence natural products can induce apoptosis, inhibit cell cycle arrest, reduce invasion migration colon cells by targeting regulating expression function miRNAs. Here, we summarize recent research findings on miRNA-regulation-based antitumor mechanisms various active ingredients highlighting how target miRNA regulation prevention treatment. The application delivery systems predictive disease biomarkers also discussed. Such approaches will contribute discovery new regulatory associated with pathways provide theoretical basis developing novel drugs compounds identifying targets.
