Integrative transcriptomic analysis identifies miR-642a-5p as a regulator of POFUT1 expression in colon cancer

bioRxiv Cancer Biology | |

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common and deadly cancers worldwide, underscoring the urgent need for novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Protein-O-fucosyltransferase 1 (POFUT1) is increasingly recognized as an oncogenic driver in CRC, but the upstream regulatory mechanisms responsible for its overexpression remain poorly understood. Objective: We aimed to identify a reproducible miRNA signature potentially regulating POFUT1…
