Abstract

Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) remains a significant contributor to cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators of gene expression and play critical roles in various biological processes, including carcinogenesis. This comprehensive review aims to elucidate the role of miRNAs in CRC by analyzing their expression patterns and functional implications. An extensive literature review identified dysregulated miRNAs associated with differentstages of CRC progression, from initiation to metastasis. These miRNAs modulate key signaling pathways in tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. Furthermore, we discuss the potential of miRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets in CRC management. Future research directions include elucidating the functional significance of dysregulated miRNAs using advanced experimental models and computational approaches and exploring the therapeutic potential of miRNA-based interventions in personalized treatment strategies for CRC patients. Collaboration among researchers, clinicians, and industry partners will be essential to translate these findings into clinically impactful interventions that improve patient outcomes in CRC.
