Cancer-Related Triplets of mRNA-lncRNA-miRNA Revealed by Integrative Network in Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: The regulation of transcriptome expression level is a complex process involving multiple-level interactions among molecules such as protein coding RNA (mRNA), long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), and microRNA (miRNA), which are essential for the transcriptome stability and maintenance and regulation of body homeostasis. The availability of multilevel expression data enables a comprehensive view of the regulatory network. In this study, we analyzed the coding and noncoding gene expression profiles of 301 patients with uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC). A new method was proposed to construct a genome-wide integrative network based on variance inflation factor (VIF) regression method. The cross-regulation relations of mRNA, lncRNA, and miRNA were then selected based on clique-searching algorithm from the network, when any two molecules of the three were shown as interacting according to the integrative network. Such relation, which we call the mRNA-lncRNA-miRNA triplet, demonstrated the complexity in transcriptome regulation process. Finally, six UCEC-related triplets were selected in which the mRNA participates in endometrial carcinoma pathway, such as CDH1 and TP53. The multi-type RNAs are proved to be cross-regulated as to each of the six triplets according to literature. All the triplets demonstrated the association with the initiation and progression of UCEC. Our method provides a comprehensive strategy for the investigation of transcriptome regulation mechanism.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are ncRNA transcripts >200 nucleotides that are important genetic regulators. LncRNAs can directly regulate mRNA through a lncRNA-mRNA regulatory mode and can also regulate mRNA through competitive binding to micro (mi)RNA, which is generally known as the competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. The present study evaluated the functional roles and regulatory networks of lncRNAs in chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN). The proliferative ability of mouse glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) induced by different concentrations of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was assessed using the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs in LPS-induced GMCs. Based on the sequencing results, six lncRNAs were selected for validation using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Furthermore, the lncRNA-mRNA regulatory network and the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network were constructed to assess the role and mechanism of CGN-related lncRNAs. To elucidate the biological functions of lncRNAs, Gene Ontology (GO) biological process term enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed on all mRNAs involved in the lncRNA-mRNA regulatory network and in the ceRNA network. A total of 1,532 differentially expressed lncRNAs, including 594 upregulated lncRNAs and 938 downregulated lncRNAs, were identified using RNA-seq. The results of RT-qPCR validation were consistent with RNA-seq results. An lncRNA-mRNA regulatory network, including 236 lncRNAs and 556 mRNAs, and a ceRNA network, including 6 lncRNAs, 18 miRNAs and 419 mRNAs, were successfully constructed. The GO biological process term enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses demonstrated that those lncRNAs were often related to inflammatory response and substance metabolism. The present study identified key CGN-related lncRNAs in LPS-induced GMCs, and further demonstrated a global view of the lncRNA-mRNA regulatory network and ceRNA network involved in CGN. These results offered novel insights into the roles of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of CGN and identified potential diagnostic biomarkers.

Project description:Accumulating evidence has indicated that noncoding RNAs are involved in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD); however, the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA)?mediated regulatory mechanisms in IDD remain rarely reported. The present study aimed to comprehensively investigate the alterations in expression levels of circular RNA (circRNA), long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), microRNA (miRNA/miR) and mRNA in the nucleus pulposus (NP) of patients with IDD. In addition, crucial lncRNA/circRNA?miRNA?mRNA ceRNA interaction axes were screened using the GSE67567 microarray dataset obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. After data preprocessing, differentially expressed circRNAs (DECs), lncRNAs (DELs), miRNAs (DEMs) or genes (DEGs) between IDD and normal controls were identified using the Linear Models for Microarray data method. A protein?protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed for DEGs based on protein databases, followed by module analysis. The ceRNA network was constructed based on the interaction between miRNAs and mRNAs, and lncRNAs/circRNAs and miRNAs. The underlying functions of mRNAs were predicted using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery database. The present study identified 636 DECs, 115 DELs, 84 DEMs and 1,040 DEGs between patients with IDD and control individuals. PPI network analysis demonstrated that Fos proto?oncogene, AP?1 transcription factor subunit (FOS), mitogen?activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1), hypoxia inducible factor 1 subunit ? (HIF1A) and transforming growth factor ?1 (TGFB1) were hub genes and enriched in modules. Metastasis?associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1)/hsa_circRNA_102348?hsa??miR?185?5p?TGFB1/FOS, MALAT1?hsa?miR?155?5p?HIF1A, hsa_circRNA_102399?hsa?miR?302a?3p?HIF1A, MALAT1?hsa??miR?519d?3p?MAPK1 and hsa_circRNA_100086?hsa?miR?509?3p?MAPK1 ceRNA axes were obtained by constructing the ceRNA networks. In conclusion, these identified ceRNA interaction axes may be crucial targets for the treatment of IDD.
