Popis: Colorectal cancer represents a lethal disease that has raised concern and has attracted significant attention. Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of colorectal cancer (CRC). MicroRNAs are thought to be potential biomarkers of CRC. Many researchers have focused on the expression pattern of miRNAs in CRC. However, previous studies did not pay particular attention to the effects of the degree of differentiation of the cancer with respect to the miRNA expression profile. First, this study compared the expression level of 1547 miRNAs by qRT-PCR in Colorectal adenocarcinoma tissues to that in paired normal tissues. In all, 93 miRNAs were identified that were significantly dysregulated in Colorectal adenocarcinoma relative to normal tissues (P
