Background: Pancreatic cancer is a highly aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis, and there is an urgent need to understand its molecular mechanisms for early diagnosis and treatment. Despite surgical resection being the only effective treatment, most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, missing the optimal window for therapy. Identifying novel biomarkers is crucial for prognostic assessment, treatment planning, and early intervention.

In the present study, the expression of miR-139-5p was analyzed in colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines SW480, HT29, HCT-8, LoVo and HCT116, aiming to investigate the function and mechanism of miR-139-5p in the regulation of the malignant phenotypes of CRC. miR-139-5p expression was found to be considerably downregulated in CRC cell lines compared with the human normal colon mucosal epithelial cell line NCM460.
