More Details: Abstract Background Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer is the most dangerous stage of prostate cancer, with a high mortality rate. Docetaxel chemotherapy is one of the most effective treatment methods currently, but some patients do not respond to chemotherapy. To avoid unnecessary toxicity in non-responders, this study explores the potential of circulating microRNAs as early biomarkers of docetaxel response in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Methods PC3 cells and DU145 cells were divided into the control, NC mimics, and miRNA-136-5p-mimics groups. Cell viability was measured using the CCK-8 assay. Cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry. Cell migration and invasion abilities were evaluated using the Transwell assay. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to measure the miRNA levels in cells and peripheral blood of patients. The miRNA-136-5p target genes were predicted by using the PITA, TargetScan, and miRanda databases. The target genes were analyzed with KEGG pathway analysis. Results In both PC3 and DU145 cells, the miRNA-136-5p-mimics group exhibited significantly increased cell survival rates, migration and invasion numbers, and significantly decreased apoptosis rates than the control group (p
