Abstract
Worldwide, colorectal cancer (CRC) has a high incidence in both menand women, with a mortality of 9.4%. The study of various genesinvolved such as MSH3 and MUTYH, among others, as well as themultiple affected pathways that predispose their appearance, such asthe Wnt/APC/β-catenin pathway, PI3K/AKT, NF-κB and Ras/Raf; theyhave not only allowed the understanding of the pathophysiology for the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of CRC, but theyhave also advanced the establishment of new techniquessuch as CRISPR. Using the CRISPR/CAS system, ithas been possible to recognize genes that constitutetherapeutic targets such as ZEB1, miR-139-5p and CCAT1,among others; in addition to favoring the understandingof the action of the proteins CD133, CD166, FUT4 andFUT9 in the processes of tumorigenesis, chemoresistance,invasion and cell proliferation in CRC. Studies in in vitroand in vivo models have shown its possible therapeuticand diagnostic effectiveness, but there are not enoughclinical trials that demonstrate the application of thistool in humans. Therefore, the findings identified in thisreview represent an important advance towards the futureapplication of CRISPR as a gene therapy in human CRC.
