Background: Current cancer treatments include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. Despite these treatments, a main issue in cancer treatment is early detection. microRNAs (miRNAs) can be used as markers to diagnose and treat cancers. This study investigated the effect of radiotherapy on miR-۳۷۴ expression, and APC and GSK-۳β, two of its target genes, in the WNT pathway, in peripheral blood samples from radiotherapy-treated colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.
Methods: Peripheral blood was collected from ۲۵ patients before and after radiotherapy. RNA was extracted from the blood and cDNA synthesized. miR-۳۷۴, APC, and GSK-۳β expression was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and the amplicons were sequenced. Finally, the data were statistically evaluated.
Results: Quantitative RT-PCR revealed significant down-regulation of miR-۳۷۴ (۰.۶۳-fold) and upregulation of APC (۱.۱۲-fold) and GSK-۳β (۱.۲۲-fold) in CRC patients after five weeks of radiotherapy. Sequencing of PCR-produced amplicons confirmed the conservation of mature and precursor sequences
encoding miR-۳۷۴. miR-۳۷۴ expression changed with time after radiotherapy treatment and related tumor grading. Increased age and tumor grade positively correlated with decreased miR-۳۷۴ expression.
Conclusions: miR-۳۷۴ expression, and that of its two target genes, APC and GSK-۳β, changed after radiotherapy. These genes can likely be used as diagnostic radiotherapy markers in CRC.
