Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most frequent cancers leading to death worldwide. Different signaling pathways such as the canonical Wnt signaling pathway have many effects on the development of CRC. MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs and different evidence represent their importance in the development of cancer via regulating the expression of their target genes. miRNAs can affect CRC progression as oncogenes or tumor suppressors. Dysregulation in miRNA expression can occur for various reasons, causes different abnormalities in the Wnt signaling pathway, and contributes to CRC development. Identifying the exact interactions between microRNAs and mRNAs or other non-coding RNAs assists in designing effective therapeutic, diagnostic, and prognostic approaches. In this review, we aim to focus on microRNAs that regulate CRC through modulating the Wnt pathway and then present the perspective outlook on the implication of miRNA in liquid biopsy for the management of patients with CRC.
