RT Journal Article T1 Expression Analysis of hsa-miR-181a-5p, hsa-miR-143-3p, hsa-miR-132-3p and hsa-miR-23a-3p as Biomarkers in Colorectal Cancer—Relationship to the Body Mass Index A1 Tesolato, Sofía A1 González-Gamo, Daniel A1 Barabash Bustelo, Ana A1 Claver, Paula A1 De La-Serna Esteban, Sofía Cristina A1 Domínguez Serrano, María Inmaculada A1 Dziakova, Jana A1 Juan Chocano, María Del Carmen De A1 Torres García, Antonio José A1 Iniesta Serrano, María Pilar A2 Sterpetti, Antonio V. AB Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the main tumor pathologies in our societyconsidering its incidence and mortality. Various authors have linked the development of CRC with overweight and obesity. However, no molecular markers have been defined to connect both pathologies and that can be assessed in serum for diagnostic and/or prognostic purposes. The main objective of this work is to analyze and correlate the expression levels of four miRNAs previously associated with cancer and/or obesity in patients affected by CRC, as well as in a control group without cancer, considering the body mass index (BMI) of subjects. The main novelty of this study consists in the variety of samples investigated: adipose tissues, omental and subcutaneous; serum; and tumor and non-tumor tissues in the case of CRC patients. Results conclude about the utility mainly of hsa-miR-143-3p and hsa-miR-181a-5p in the clinical management of CRC.
