MiRNome profiling in metachronous colorectal liver metastasis
Small RNA sequencing was performed on 43 metachronous colorectal liver metastases (mCLM) and adjacent non-malignant liver tissue sample pairs to identify deregulated miRNAs. MiRNA-mRNA interactions were investigated through co-expression and correlation analysis, with prognostic relevance assessed by survival analysis. This study gave a holistic view of the molecular landscape of mCLM and revealed key deregulated pathways and novel miRNA-mRNA interactions with potential prognostic implications.
