Figure 1 MicroRNA dysregulation and colorectal cancer progression.
Altered expression of representative miRNAs are shown in different stages of CRC (in bold: Normal epithelium → early adenoma → late adenoma → carcinoma → metastasis). Upregulation or downregulation of miRNAs can affect signaling pathways and propel progression of CRC, leading to angiogenesis, cell invasion, metastasis and inhibition of apoptosis. APC: adenomatous polyposis coli; CRC: Colorectal cancer; KRAS: Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog; TP53: tumor protein p53.
