Popis: Abstract Drug resistance, which is closely correlated with an imbalance in apoptosis, endows colorectal cancer (CRC) with enhanced progression capacity irrespective of the treatment with therapeutics. We report that miR-15b-5p is a tumor suppressor whose level is globally decreased in CRC cells and tissues. Over-expression of miR-15b-5p not only promoted 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-induced cellular apoptosis but also reversed the chemoresistance of 5-FU in vitro and in vivo. As a key mediator of inflammation-induced cancer, miR-15b-5p enhances these therapeutic effects are mainly attributed to targeting of the NF-κB signaling pathway through negative regulation of NF-κB1 and one of its kinase complexes IKK-α. miR-15b-5p mediates NF-ĸB regulation by targeting the anti-apoptosis protein XIAP in vitro. Together, these results establish an axis of miR-15b-mediated apoptosis regulation, which reverses chemoresistance and suppresses CRC progression. These findings suggest that miR-15b-5p may be a potential agent for CRC treatment, particularly for 5-FU-resistant CRC.
