Consensus datasets of mouse miRNA-mRNA interactions from multiple online resources.

ABSTRACT: MiRNAs regulate gene expression by forming base pairing with mRNAs to inhibit the translation of those mRNAs. In many mammalian genomes each, about 2000 miRNAs were found to regulate roughly 60% of all the genes in that genome. Many experimental validations and computational predictions have been done on miRNA:mRNA interactions. Nonetheless, the interactions from different sources are not always consistent. In this study, we integrated multiple online resources, including mirTarBase, TarBase, miRanda, miRDB, PITA, and TargetScan, and developed eleven large-scale datasets containing miRNA:mRNA interactions that are consistent among a specific subgroup of above-mentioned online resources. In addition, a new integrated confidence score was designed to show the significance for all the miRNA:mRNA interactions.

Paired miRNA- and messenger RNA-sequencing identifies novel miRNA-mRNA interactions in multiple myeloma.

Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable cancer of terminally differentiated plasma cells that proliferate in the bone marrow. miRNAs are promising biomarkers for risk stratification in MM and several miRNAs are shown to have a function in disease pathogenesis. However, to date, surprisingly few miRNA-mRNA interactions have been described for and functionally validated in MM. In this study, we performed miRNA-seq and mRNA-seq on CD138 + cells isolated from bone marrow aspirates of 86 MM patients to identify novel interactions between sRNAs and mRNAs. We detected 9.8% significantly correlated miRNA-mRNA pairs of which 5.17% were positively correlated and 4.65% were negatively correlated. We found that miRNA-mRNA pairs that were predicted by in silico target-prediction algorithms were more negatively correlated than non-target pairs, indicating functional miRNA targeting and that correlation between miRNAs and mRNAs from patients can be used to identify miRNA-targets. mRNAs for negatively correlated miRNA-mRNA target pairs were associated with gene ontology terms such as autophagy, protein degradation and endoplasmic stress response, reflecting important processes in MM. Targets for two specific miRNAs, miR-125b-5p and miR-365b-3p, were functionally validated in MM cell line transfection experiments followed by RNA-sequencing and qPCR. In summary, we identified functional miRNA-mRNA target pairs by correlating miRNA and mRNA data from primary MM cells. We identified several target pairs that are of potential interest for further studies. The data presented here may serve as a hypothesis-generating knowledge base for other researchers in the miRNA/MM field. We also provide an interactive web application that can be used to exploit the miRNA-target interactions as well as clinical parameters associated to these target-pairs.

Integrative analysis of miRNA-mRNA and miRNA-miRNA interactions.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, noncoding regulatory molecules. They are involved in many essential biological processes and act by suppressing gene expression. The present work reports an integrative analysis of miRNA-mRNA and miRNA-miRNA interactions and their regulatory patterns using high-throughput miRNA and mRNA datasets. Aberrantly expressed miRNA and mRNA profiles were obtained based on fold change analysis, and qRT-PCR was used for further validation of deregulated miRNAs. miRNAs and target mRNAs were found to show various expression patterns. miRNA-miRNA interactions and clustered/homologous miRNAs were also found to contribute to the flexible and selective regulatory network. Interacting miRNAs (e.g., miRNA-103a and miR-103b) showed more pronounced differences in expression, which suggests the potential "restricted interaction" in the miRNA world. miRNAs from the same gene clusters (e.g., miR-23b gene cluster) or gene families (e.g., miR-10 gene family) always showed the same types of deregulation patterns, although they sometimes differed in expression levels. These clustered and homologous miRNAs may have close functional relationships, which may indicate collaborative interactions between miRNAs. The integrative analysis of miRNA-mRNA based on biological characteristics of miRNA will further enrich miRNA study.

Quantification of miRNA-mRNA interactions.

Project description:miRNAs are small RNA molecules (' 22nt) that interact with their corresponding target mRNAs inhibiting the translation of the mRNA into proteins and cleaving the target mRNA. This second effect diminishes the overall expression of the target mRNA. Several miRNA-mRNA relationship databases have been deployed, most of them based on sequence complementarities. However, the number of false positives in these databases is large and they do not overlap completely. Recently, it has been proposed to combine expression measurement from both miRNA and mRNA and sequence based predictions to achieve more accurate relationships. In our work, we use LASSO regression with non-positive constraints to integrate both sources of information. LASSO enforces the sparseness of the solution and the non-positive constraints restrict the search of miRNA targets to those with down-regulation effects on the mRNA expression. We named this method TaLasso (miRNA-Target LASSO).We used TaLasso on two public datasets that have paired expression levels of human miRNAs and mRNAs. The top ranked interactions recovered by TaLasso are especially enriched (more than using any other algorithm) in experimentally validated targets. The functions of the genes with mRNA transcripts in the top-ranked interactions are meaningful. This is not the case using other algorithms.TaLasso is available as Matlab or R code. There is also a web-based tool for human miRNAs at http://talasso.cnb.csic.es/.

Multiple kernel learning for integrative consensus clustering of omic datasets.

Project description:MotivationDiverse applications-particularly in tumour subtyping-have demonstrated the importance of integrative clustering techniques for combining information from multiple data sources. Cluster Of Clusters Analysis (COCA) is one such approach that has been widely applied in the context of tumour subtyping. However, the properties of COCA have never been systematically explored, and its robustness to the inclusion of noisy datasets is unclear.ResultsWe rigorously benchmark COCA, and present Kernel Learning Integrative Clustering (KLIC) as an alternative strategy. KLIC frames the challenge of combining clustering structures as a multiple kernel learning problem, in which different datasets each provide a weighted contribution to the final clustering. This allows the contribution of noisy datasets to be down-weighted relative to more informative datasets. We compare the performances of KLIC and COCA in a variety of situations through simulation studies. We also present the output of KLIC and COCA in real data applications to cancer subtyping and transcriptional module discovery.Availability and implementationR packages klic and coca are available on the Comprehensive R Archive Network.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Datasets exploring putative lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA axes in breast cancer cell lines.

Project description:Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)/microRNA (miRNA)/messenger RNA (mRNA) interactions regulate oncogenesis and tumour suppression in breast cancer. Oncogenic lncRNA/miRNA/mRNA axes may offer novel therapeutic targets; therefore, identifying such axes is a clinically relevant undertaking. To explore miRNAs regulated by oncogenic lncRNAs, we queried the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to find datasets that profiled gene expression changes upon lncRNA knockdown in breast cancer. We identified four microarray datasets that permitted our interrogation of genes regulated by lncRNAs LincK, LincIN, SPRY4-IT1 and AC009283.1. We specifically analysed changes in miRNA transcripts within these datasets to study miRNAs regulated by each of the four lncRNAs. We subsequently identified the predicted mRNA targets for these miRNAs to uncover possible lncRNA/miRNA/mRNAs axes in breast cancer. These axes may be candidates for future investigation of gene regulation in breast cancer.

scLM: Automatic Detection of Consensus Gene Clusters Across Multiple Single-cell Datasets.

Project description:In gene expression profiling studies, including single-cell RNAsequencing (scRNA-seq) analyses, the identification and characterization of co-expressed genes provides critical information on cell identity and function. Gene co-expression clustering in scRNA-seq data presents certain challenges. We show that commonly used methods for single-cell data are not capable of identifying co-expressed genes accurately, and produce results that substantially limit biological expectations of co-expressed genes. Herein, we present single-cell Latent-variable Model (scLM), a gene co-clustering algorithm tailored to single-cell data that performs well at detecting gene clusters with significant biologic context. Importantly, scLM can simultaneously cluster multiple single-cell datasets, i.e., consensus clustering, enabling users to leverage single-cell data from multiple sources for novel comparative analysis. scLM takes raw count data as input and preserves biological variation without being influenced by batch effects from multiple datasets. Results from both simulation data and experimental data demonstrate that scLM outperforms the existing methods with considerably improved accuracy. To illustrate the biological insights of scLM, we apply it to our in-house and public experimental scRNA-seq datasets. scLM identifies novel functional gene modules and refines cell states, which facilitates mechanism discovery and understanding of complex biosystems such as cancers. A user-friendly R package with all the key features of the scLM method is available at https://github.com/QSong-github/scLM.

Novel miRNA-mRNA interactions conserved in essential cancer pathways.

Project description:Cancer is a complex disease in which unrestrained cell proliferation results in tumour development. Extensive research into the molecular mechanisms underlying tumorigenesis has led to the characterization of oncogenes and tumour suppressors that are key elements in cancer growth and progression, as well as that of other important elements like microRNAs. These genes and miRNAs appear to be constitutively deregulated in cancer. To identify signatures of miRNA-mRNA interactions potentially conserved in essential cancer pathways, we have conducted an integrative analysis of transcriptomic data, also taking into account methylation and copy number alterations. We analysed 18,605 raw transcriptome samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas covering 15 of the most common types of human tumours. From this global transcriptome study, we recovered known cancer-associated miRNA-targets and importantly, we identified new potential targets from miRNA families, also analysing the phenotypic outcomes of these genes/mRNAs in terms of survival. Further analyses could lead to novel approaches in cancer therapy.

Tumor suppressor miR-375 regulates MYC expression via repression of CIP2A coding sequence through multiple miRNA-mRNA interactions.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, noncoding RNAs involved in posttranscriptional regulation of protein-coding genes in various biological processes. In our preliminary miRNA microarray analysis, miR-375 was identified as the most underexpressed in human oral tumor versus controls. The purpose of the present study is to examine the function of miR-375 as a candidate tumor suppressor miRNA in oral cancer. Cancerous inhibitor of PP2A (CIP2A), a guardian of oncoprotein MYC, is identified as a candidate miR-375 target based on bioinformatics. Luciferase assay accompanied by target sequence mutagenesis elucidates five functional miR-375-binding sites clustered in the CIP2A coding sequence close to the C-terminal domain. Overexpression of CIP2A is clearly demonstrated in oral cancers, and inverse correlation between miR-375 and CIP2A is observed in the tumors, as well as in NCI-60 cell lines, indicating the potential generalized involvement of the miR-375-CIP2A relationship in many other cancers. Transient transfection of miR-375 in oral cancer cells reduces the expression of CIP2A, resulting in decrease of MYC protein levels and leading to reduced proliferation, colony formation, migration, and invasion. Therefore this study shows that underexpression of tumor suppressor miR-375 could lead to uncontrolled CIP2A expression and extended stability of MYC, which contributes to promoting cancerous phenotypes.

Transcriptomic Analysis of mRNA-lncRNA-miRNA Interactions in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Project description:Fully elucidating the molecular mechanisms of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including micro RNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), underlying hepatocarcinogenesis is challenging. We characterized the expression profiles of ncRNAs and constructed a regulatory mRNA-lncRNA-miRNA (MLMI) network based on transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, n = 9) patients. Of the identified miRNAs (n = 203) and lncRNAs (n = 1,090), we found 16 significantly differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs and three DE lncRNAs. The DE RNAs were highly enriched in 21 functional pathways implicated in HCC (p < 0.05), including p53, MAPK, and NAFLD signaling. Potential pairwise interactions between DE ncRNAs and mRNAs were fully characterized using in silico prediction and experimentally-validated evidence. We for the first time constructed a MLMI network of reciprocal interactions for 16 miRNAs, three lncRNAs, and 253 mRNAs in HCC. The predominant role of MEG3 in the MLMI network was validated by its overexpression in vitro that the expression levels of a proportion of MEG3-targeted miRNAs and mRNAs was changed significantly. Our results suggested that the comprehensive MLMI network synergistically modulated carcinogenesis, and the crosstalk of the network provides a new avenue to accurately describe the molecular mechanisms of hepatocarcinogenesis.

Re-thinking miRNA-mRNA interactions: intertwining issues confound target discovery.

Project description:Despite a library full of literature on miRNA biology, core issues relating to miRNA target detection, biological effect, and mode of action remain controversial. This essay proposes that the predominant mechanism of direct miRNA action is translational inhibition, whereas the bulk of miRNA effects are mRNA based. It explores several issues confounding miRNA target detection, and discusses their impact on the dominance of "miRNA seed" dogma and the exploration of non-canonical binding sites. Finally, it makes comparisons between miRNA target prediction and transcription factor binding prediction, and questions the value of characterizing miRNA binding sites based on which miRNA nucleotides are paired with an mRNA.
