Aim: Few studies focused on functions and regulatory networks of MUC family members in colorectal cancer based on comprehensive analysis of online database. Materials & methods: Copy number variation, methylation, pathway analysis and drug influence on MUC expression were analyzed based on The Cancer Genome Atlas and GTEx database. Results: Copy number variation analysis showed MUC heterozygous amplification and heterozygous deletion predominate. Methylation of MUC17, MUC12 and MUC4 were found related to gene expression. Function of MUC family genes mainly affects pathways such as apoptosis, cell cycle, DNA damage and EMT pathways. PLX4720, dabrafenib, gefitinib, afatinib and austocystin D can alter the expression of MUC gene. Conclusion: The genetic and epigenetic changes of MUC are related to the level of MUC expression in colorectal cancer.
