Aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) is found to be responsible for tumorigenesis, cancer development and chemoresistance. Although oxaliplatin is an effective chemotherapeutic drug for treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC), CRC cells can develop some mechanisms to evade oxaliplatin-induced cell death. It is urgent to explore the novel strategies to increase the chemosensitivity of CRC cells.
