Abstrakt: Background: The key role of miRNA expression in incidence and progression of colorectal cancer (CLC) have been developed over the last decade. Materials & methods: A total of 153 subjects were enrolled into two phases: 14 selected miRNAs were first evaluated in 50 subjects, then miR-26a and miR-26b relative expression were further evaluated in 103 subjects and their target protein MMP-9 was measured. Results: miR-26a and -26b showed highly significant overexpression. Both miR-26a and -26b (p < 0.001) had high diagnostic efficacy for CRC. There was a significant increase in serum MMP-9 protein in CRC patients with positive correlation with miR-26a and -26b expression levels (p < 0.001). Conclusion: miRNA 26a and 26b with MMP-9 can be used as diagnostic biomarker for CRC patients.
