Disease: Colorectal Carcinoma
Colorectal Carcinoma
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE A Cell Counting kit-8 assay revealed that miR-221 promoted CRC cell proliferation. 29434757 2018
CUI: C0009402
Disease: Colorectal Carcinoma
Colorectal Carcinoma
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE The RT‑qPCR analysis of 101 CRC samples showed that a high expression level of miR‑221 or miR‑222 in the cancer stroma was associated with liver metastasis, distant metastasis, and shorter overall survival rate of patients with CRC (P<0.05). 30015977 2018
CUI: C0009402
Disease: Colorectal Carcinoma
Colorectal Carcinoma
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE In the present study, we demonstrate the predictive value of long non-coding RNA GAS5 (lncRNA GAS5) and mircoRNA-221 (miR-221) in the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) and their effects on CRC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. 29630521 2018
CUI: C0009402
Disease: Colorectal Carcinoma
Colorectal Carcinoma
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Expression levels of miR-21 (p<0.0001) and miR-221 (p<0.0001) were significantly higher, whereas expression levels of miR-150 (p=0.0054) were significantly lower in the blood samples of patients with colorectal cancer in comparison to the control group. 27798914 2016
CUI: C0009402
Disease: Colorectal Carcinoma
Colorectal Carcinoma
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE CRC cell lines (HCT116 and RKO) were transfected with miR-221 or miR-222 mimics or inhibitors. 24931456 2014
CUI: C0009402
Disease: Colorectal Carcinoma
Colorectal Carcinoma
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE No significant differences in stool miR-221 and miR-18a levels were found between patients with proximal and distal CRCs. 25233396 2014
CUI: C0009402
Disease: Colorectal Carcinoma
Colorectal Carcinoma
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Collectively, miR-221 is an oncogenic miRNA which may regulate CRC migration and invasion through targeting RECK. 24269686 2014
CUI: C0009402
Disease: Colorectal Carcinoma
Colorectal Carcinoma
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Increased activities of miR-221* and miR-224 reduce growth and metastasis of CRC xenograft tumors in mice; these miRs might be developed as therapeutic reagents or biomarkers of CRC progression. 23770133 2013
CUI: C0009402
Disease: Colorectal Carcinoma
Colorectal Carcinoma
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Anti-miRNA-221 sensitizes human colorectal carcinoma cells to radiation by upregulating PTEN. 24409057 2013
CUI: C0009402
Disease: Colorectal Carcinoma
Colorectal Carcinoma
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Apart from their role in regular metabolism, abnormal profiles of miRNA expression accompany cancer transformation, including colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis. microRNAs may play a role in each phase of CRC metastasis including angiogenesis, invasion, intravasation, circulation, extravasation and metastatic colonization. microRNA levels may serve as a predictive CRC marker, which was confirmed by the serum level of miR-29a targeting KLF4, a marker of cell stemness, and the plasma level of miR-221 down-regulating c-Kit, Stat5A and ETS1, which are signal transducers and transcription factor, respectively. 23173124 2012
CUI: C0009402
Disease: Colorectal Carcinoma
Colorectal Carcinoma
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE We previously found that oncogenic KRAS induces increased expression of microRNAs (miRNAs), such as miR-200c and miR-221/222, in human colorectal cancer (CRC) HCT116 cells in a three-dimensional (3D)-specific manner, however, the regulation of miRNA expression through oncogenic KRAS in other types of CRC remains unclear. 22641662 2012
CUI: C0009402
Disease: Colorectal Carcinoma
Colorectal Carcinoma
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE MiR-221 binds to the target site in the 3'-UTR of the CDKN1C/p57 mRNA to inhibit CDKN1C/p57 expression by post-transcriptional gene silencing to promote CRC occurrence and progress, therefore serving as a potential therapeutic target for the prevention and treatment of CRC. 21278784 2011
CUI: C0009402
Disease: Colorectal Carcinoma
Colorectal Carcinoma
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Kaplan-Meier curve assessment shows that the elevated plasma miR-221 level is a significant prognostic factor for poor overall survival in CRC patients. 20880178 2010
