Description	The aim of this study was to determine an expression profile of 667 miRNAs in CRC patients and paired non-tumoral tissues. We have identified 42 differentially expressed miRNAs and we have chosen 5 of them for further validation on an independent cohort of 125 CRC patients and in vitro analyses. Our results indicate that miR-378, miR-375, miR-422a and miR-215 play an important role in CRC as tumor suppressors, whereas miR-135b functions as an oncogene and all these miRNAs significantly contribute to the CRC pathogenesis.
