MIR452, a microRNA, was observed to be upregulated in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues and in tissues affected by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis, suggesting a role in inflammatory and cancer processes [PMC6826374]. This upregulation implicates MIR452 in the modulation of critical signaling pathways within CRC cells, specifically the VEGFA–VEGFR2-mediated pathways, which include VEGFR2–SRC–PTK2 and VEGFR2–KRAS–BRAF–MAPK [PMC6826374]. Through its regulation of these pathways, MIR452 influences CRC cell growth, migration, and angiogenesis [PMC6826374]. Experimental evidence supporting the regulatory role of MIR452 was provided by a reduction in luciferase activity by about 15% when CRC cells were co-transfected with a MIR452 mimic [PMC6826374]. This finding underscores the potential of MIR452 as a therapeutic target or biomarker for CRC due to its involvement in key cellular processes that drive tumor progression [PMC6826374].
