BACKGROUND/AIM: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as key regulators in various cancer types, including brain tumors. This study aimed to investigate the differential expression of miRNA-17 in glial tumors, cerebral metastases, and normal glial tissues. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 42 patients were included in this cross-sectional study. Tissue samples were obtained from patients with glial tumors or cerebral metastases and from normal glial tissues. miRNA-17 expression levels were computed by using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Receiver operating characteristics analysis was used to determine the predictive potential of miRNA-17. RESULTS: In this study, we demonstrated a statistically significant difference in miRNA-17 expression levels between glial tumors and the control group (p=0.001), with higher miRNA-17 expression observed in glial tumors. Similarly, there was statistically higher miRNA-17 expression in metastatic cases compared with the control group (p=0.007). CONCLUSION: These findings suggest miRNA-17 might be a potential biomarker for differentiating glial tumors and cerebral metastases from normal glial tissue, although further research is necessary to validate these findings and investigate the potential role of miRNA-17 in the pathogenesis of these brain tumors.
