In order to clarify the hub miRNAs and their roles in colon cancer development, GSE98406 was used to screen hub miRNAs by bioinformatics analysis. 46 DE-miRNAs (14 were upregulated and 32 were downregulated) and 1738 target genes of DE-miRNAs were ascertained. miRNAs-gene-networks and miRNAs-GO-networks were built to get more knowledge about the function of candidate miRNAs. After validation, three miRNAs (miR-17-5p, miR-182-5p and miR-200a-3p) were recognized to be hub miRNAs associated with the progression of colon cancer. More importantly, the hub miRNAs and the putative targets genes might be new diagnostic and therapeutic targets for colon cancer in the future.
