MicroRNA miR-500a-5p has been linked to oncogenesis but its role in colorectal cancer (CRC) is largely unknown. Here, the authors investigate the role of miR-500a-5p in CRC in vitro and in vivo models and find that miR-500a-5p acts as a tumour suppressor in CRC by targeting the p300/YY1/HDAC2 axis.
