MiR-340-5p is a potential prognostic indicator of colorectal cancer and modulates ANXA3.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are increasingly recognized as oncogenes or tumor suppressors in colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this study was to explore the expression and functions of miR-340-5p in CRC.The expression of miR-340-5p in CRC tissues and cell lines was detected by quantitative RT-PCR. Associations of miR-340-5p expression with clinicopathological factors and overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were statistically...
