[Use of micro RNAs in the diagnosis and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CCR)].

چکیده
The aim of this review is to present a general overview about the importance of micro RNAs (miRNAs) in colorectal carcinoma. First, we focused on the mechanisms whereby the miRNAs regulate the expression of target genes, and how an altered regulation of them is associated with several types of cancer, including colorectal carcinoma. Later, examples of some miRNAs that have been associated with cancer development and how the expression patterns of specific miRNAs can be used as potential biomarkers for prognosis, diagnosis and therapeutic outcome in colorectal carcinoma are addressed. Finally, several polymorphisms presents in the miRNAs that have been associated to risk and prognosis in colorectal carcinoma are described.

Background:Long non-coding RNAs, as a big part of non-coding RNAs, are considered functionally more than past. These transcripts could be involved in carcinogenesis. SNHG6, as a long non-coding RNA, has been reported to be expressed more in colorectal cancer tissues than non-cancerous ones. Colorectal cancer as a malignancy needs fast prognostic and diagnostic methods for well...

Background & objectives: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common gastric cancer and third lethal cancer worldwide. Despite development in diagnostic and treatment methods, due to the lack of typical symptoms in the early stages, most patients are diagnosed in the end stages. Therefore, finding simple, inexpensive, highly sensitive and specific diagnostic methods for early detection and prog...
متن کاملA review on miRNAs as new biomarkers for colorectal cancer
Background & Objective: Since colorectal cancer does not often have phenotypic symptoms in the early stages, the study of biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of the tumor is very important. MicroRNAs are one of the most important biomarkers which attract the attention of many researchers due to a variety of reasons, including their non-invasive nature; these molecules are a group of non-...

BBackground: Despite advances in cancer studies, colorectal cancer, as the third most common cancer, has the highest mortality rate worldwide. Due to its high prevalence in the younger ages and advanced stages, screening of this cancer with molecular methods is necessary. Studies have shown that HOTAIR gene plays an important role in cancers. Our aim in the present study was to determine the...
متن کاملRole of Molecular Biomarkers in Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is amongst the most widespread cancers and is a most common cause of cancer associated mortality universally. Since previous decades, it has been cleared that CRC develops owing to the buildup of a series of genetic and epigenetic changes in the normal colonic epithelium. Regardless of the current development in surgery and therapies, overall survival of end stage CRC pa...
