Objective To investigate the impact and mechanism of over-expression microRNA-92a (miR-92a) in clinicopathologic feature and prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods The expression levels of miR-92a and phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) gene in 108 cases of colorectal cancer tissues were detected by using real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (RT-PCR), and they were categorized as low or high in relation to the median value. Then the association between different levels of miR-92a gene expression and clinicopathologic feature and prognosis of CRC patients were evaluated. Moreover, the relationship between the expressions of miR-92a and PTEN gene were analyzed. Results High expression of miR-92a not only associated with lymph node metastasis (χ2=8.045, P=0.007), distant metastasis (χ2=5.708, P=0.030), and TNM staging (χ2=6.366, P=0.019) of CRC patients, but also related to the down-regulated of PTEN gene expression (χ2=21.333, P < 0.001). However, up-regulated miR-92a expression was negatively correlated with age, gender, tumor size, tumor location, depth of invasion and tumor differentiation. In addition, Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that over-expression of miR-92a and low-expression of PTEN gene could potentially predict poor overall survival of CRC patients. Conclusion The high expression of miR-92a can lead to a poor clinical prognosis of CRC patients through decreasing the expression level of PTEN gene.
