Objective To summarize the latest progress of microRNA (miRNA or miR) in colorectal cancer (CRC)-related signaling pathways in the past three years, and provide new ideas for miRNA-targeted intervention or miRNA as tumor molecular markers for early diagnosis of CRC. Method The literature on the roles of miRNA in the CRC-related signaling pathways was retrieved and reviewed. Results MiRNAs were associated with cancers in nearly all critical pathways, which regulated almost all important signaling pathways associated with CRC. At present, the signaling pathways and miRNAs related to CRC mainly included Wnt-β-catenin (miR-520e, miR-8063, miR-576-5p, miR-142-3p, miR-19a-3p, miR-381, miR-411, miR-1205), phosphatidylinositol-3-kinaset-Akt (miR-19a, miR-493-5p, miR-3064-5p, mi-196b-5p, miR-3651), mitogen-activated protein kinase (miR-1288-3p, miR-3651, miR-152-3p), transforming growth factor-β (miR-183-5p, miR-21-5p, miR-195-5p, miR-581, miR-2911, miR-128-3p, let-7a), nuclear factor kappa B (miR-155, miR-129, miR-21), Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (miR-198, miR-452, miR-128-3p, miR-495), Notch (miR-223, miR-10b, miR-449a), Hippo (miR-30a-5p, miR-375, miR-9), and Hedgehog (miR-372, miR-373), etc. signaling pathways. Conclusions MiRNA play a role in one or more signaling pathways at the same time, and play an important regulatory role in the occurrence and development of CRC. MiRNAs have great potential as tumor markers in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of colorectal cancer.
