The following studies support our results: Li et al.13showed that miR-99b is down-regulated in the liver metastasis of CRC; Fujino et al.14reported that downregulation of microRNA-100/microRNA-125b is related to lymph node metastasis in early CRC; and Zheng et al.15reported that the long noncoding RNA HAGLROS adjusts apoptosis and autophagy in CRC cells by sponging miR-100 to target ATG5 expression. This evidence concerns the gene ATG5 and colorectal carcinoma.
