Abstract

The high incidence and mortality rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) reveal its hazardous effect globally. Thus, it is important to diagnose CRC at an early stage to decrease its burden and improve survival rates. Previous studies have investigated the role of short non‑coding microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) in numerous types of cancer, including CRC. Previous studies have been performed to investigate the role of miRNAs as biomarkers in diagnosis, prognosis and prediction of CRC development. The aim of the present retrospective study was to identify the expression levels of miR‑31, miR‑145, miR‑146b and miR‑186 to highlight their role in CRC diagnosis and progression at different stages of the disease (precancerous polyp, adenoma and adenocarcinoma) in a Lebanese population. The expression levels of miRNAs was revealed using TaqMan reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR on formalin‑fixed paraffin‑embedded tissues from Lebanese patients at different stages; their diagnostic value was determined using a receiver operating characteristics curve. Compared with healthy controls, miR‑31 was upregulated (P<0.0001) at all stages. By contrast, miR‑145, miR‑186, and miR‑146b were significantly downregulated at all stages (P<0.0001, P=0.0009 and P=0.0241, respectively). Of the four miRNAs studied, miR‑31 and miR‑145 were identified as potentially useful diagnostic factors, with an area under the curve of 0.7771 and 0.8269 and diagnostic accuracy of 71.3 and 78.5%, respectively. These data suggested that miR‑31 and miR‑145, upon further clinical validation, may be used as potential diagnostic biomarkers for the early detection of CRC at the polyp stage.
