Fifteen miRNAs were chosen for subsequent validation, which confirmed significantly reduced expression of miR-143, miR 10b, and miR-28-5p, and increased expression of miR 122, miR-122*, and miR 885-5p in the tissue of liver metastases.
Our findings demonstrated the overexpression of miR-885-5p in liver metastasis and its roles in inducing CRC metastasis, potentiating development of miR-885-5p inhibitor to treat advanced CRC in the future.
