METHODS Ran expression was detected in CRC cell lines and tumour tissues. In vitro and in vivo functional assays were performed to examine the effects of Ran on cell proliferation and metastasis. The pathways and effectors regulated by Ran were explored by an unbiased screening. Bioinformatics prediction and experimental validation were used to identify the miRNA regulator for Ran. RESULTS Ran expression was frequently increased in metastatic CRC cells and tissues, especially in metastatic tissues. The upregulation of Ran correlated with poor CRC patient prognosis. Ran silencing reduced proliferation and metastasis of CRC cells both in vitro and in vivo. Ran regulated the expression of EGFR and activation of ERK and AKT signalling pathways. miR-802 was identified as an upstream regulator of Ran and miR-802 overexpression resulted in antiproliferative and antimetastatic activities. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates the oncogenic roles and underlying mechanisms of Ran in CRC and the novel miR-802/Ran/EGFR regulatory axis may provide potential biomarkers for the treatment of CRC.BACKGROUND In 2018, the World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research (WCRF/AICR) issued revised recommendations for cancer prevention. We examined the relation between adherence to these recommendations and risk of total cancer in two population-based Swedish prospective cohorts (29,451 men and 25,349 women). METHODS Standardized-WCRF/AICR 2018 and simplified-WCRF/AICR 2018 adherence scores were constructed
