In conclusion, this study provided that PVT1 with rs2278176 T allele altered the binding affinity with hsa-miR-297, leading to decreased GSTA2 expression and sensitized CRC cells to FOLFOX chemotherapy, suggesting rs2278176 CT/TT genotypes might serve as a predictive biomarker to improve prognosis in patients with metastatic CRC treated with FOLFOX. Here, GSTA2 is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
