An integrated analysis for long noncoding RNAs and microRNAs with the mediated competing endogenous RNA network in papillary renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) is the second most common subtype of renal cell carcinoma, and it lacks effective therapeutic targets and prognostic molecular biomarkers. Attention has been increasingly focused on long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which can act as competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to compete for shared microRNAs (miRNAs) in the tumorigenesis of human tumors. Therefore, to clarify the functional roles of lncRNAs with respect to the mediated ceRNA network in PRCC, we comprehensively integrated expression profiles, including data on mRNAs, lncRNAs and miRNAs obtained from 289 PRCC tissues and 32 normal tissues in The Cancer Genome Atlas. As a result, we identified 2,197 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and 84 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) using a threshold of |log2 (fold change)| >2.0 and an adjusted P-value <0.05. To determine the hub DEmRNAs that could be key target genes, a weighted gene co-expression network analysis was performed. A total of 28 hub DEmRNAs were identified as potential target genes. Seven dysregulated DEmiRNAs were identified that were significantly associated with the 28 hub potential target genes. In addition, we found that 16 differentially expressed lncRNAs were able to interact with the DEmiRNAs. Finally, we used Cytoscape software to visualize the ceRNA network with these differently expressed molecules. From these results, we believe that the identified ceRNA network plays a crucial role in the process of PRCC deterioration, and some of the identified genes are strongly related to clinical prognosis.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to identify novel microRNA (miRNA) or long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) signatures of laryngeal cancer recurrence and to investigate the regulatory mechanisms associated with this malignancy. Datasets of recurrent and nonrecurrent laryngeal cancer samples were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus database (GSE27020 and GSE25727) to examine differentially expressed miRNAs (DE‑miRs), lncRNAs (DE‑lncRs) and mRNAs (DEGs). miRNA‑mRNA and lncRNA‑miRNA networks were constructed by investigating the associations among these RNAs in various databases. Subsequently, the interactions identified were combined into a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network. Feature genes in the miRNA‑mRNA network were identified via topological analysis and a recursive feature elimination algorithm. A support vector machine (SVM) classifier was established using the betweenness centrality values in the miRNA‑mRNA network, consisting of 32 optimal feature‑coding genes. The classification effect was tested using two validation datasets. Furthermore, coding genes in the ceRNA network were examined via pathway enrichment analyses. In total, 21 DE‑lncRs, 507 DEGs and 55 DE‑miRs were selected. The SVM classifier exhibited an accuracy of 94.05% (79/84) for sample classification prediction in the TCGA dataset, and 92.66 and 91.07% in the two validation datasets. The ceRNA regulatory network comprised 203 nodes, corresponding to mRNAs, miRNAs and lncRNAs, and 346 lines, corresponding to the interactions among RNAs. In particular, the interactions with the highest scores were HLA complex group 4 (HCG4)‑miR‑33b, HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR)‑miR‑1‑MAGE family member A2 (MAGEA2), EMX2 opposite strand/antisense RNA (EMX2OS)‑miR‑124‑calcitonin related polypeptide α (CALCA) and EMX2OS‑miR‑124‑γ‑aminobutyric acid type A receptor γ2 subunit (GABRG2). Gene enrichment analysis of the genes in the ceRNA network identified that 11 pathway terms and 16 molecular function terms were significantly enriched. The SVM classifier based on 32 feature coding genes exhibited high accuracy in the classification of laryngeal cancer samples. miR‑1, miR‑33b, miR‑124, HOTAIR, HCG4 and EMX2OS may be novel biomarkers of recurrent laryngeal cancer, and HCG4‑miR‑33b, HOTAIR‑miR‑1‑MAGEA2 and EMX2OS‑miR‑124‑CALCA/GABRG2 may be associated with the molecular mechanisms regulating recurrent laryngeal cancer.

Project description:Liver cancer is the most common cancer and is the epitome of a recalcitrant cancer. Increasing evidence shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) were associated with cancer-related death and could function as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA). To explore regulatory roles and potential prognostic biomarkers of lncRNA for liver cancer, RNA-sequencing expression data were downloaded from the TCGA database and GEO database. A total of 357 patients were randomly divided into a discovery group and a validation group, of which 313 patients can obtain clinical data. In discovery phrase, 58 lncRNAs, 16 miRNAs, and 34 mRNAs were screened to construct the ceRNA network based on 252 patients employed from discovery group. Univariate and multivariate Cox hazard regression analysis model revealed that five lncRNAs (AATK-AS1, C10orf91, LINC00162, LINC00200, and LINC00501) from 58 lncRNAs were formulated to predict the overall survival (OS). We used the value of gene expression and regression coefficients to construct a risk score based on the five lncRNAs. Next, we validated our model in the GSE116174 dataset (n = 64) and the validation group (n = 94) from TCGA database. Subgroup analysis suggest that the five lncRNAs played critical parts in early stage in cancer from both discovery and validation groups. The five lncRNAs were also found to be associated with immune cells infiltration including CD4+ memory activated, NK cells activated and mast cells activated, then the results were also validated according to the validation group. Furthermore, KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that these nine coexpressed modules using the method of WGCNA, and many of these pathways are associated with the development and progression of disease. At last, the transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) of the five lncRNAs were predicted, which help us to understand the potential mechanism that the TFBS adjusted the ceRNA network. In summary, the ceRNA regulatory network may contribute to a better understanding of liver cancer mechanism and provide potential prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Project description:The purpose of this work was to extract key players such as mRNAs and long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) in the etiopathogenesis of osteosarcoma (OS). The sequencing analyses (mRNAs and lncRNAs) of OS were conducted followed by differentially expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs (DEmRNAs and DElncRNAs) identification between U-2OS cells with has-miR-590-5p overexpression and negative control cells. Following this, the co-expression and functional enrichment analyses of DEmRNAs and DElncRNAs were carried out. Also, the miRNAs-DElncRNAs-DEmRNAs regulatory network was constructed with DElncRNAs-miRNAs and DElncRNAs-DEmRNAs pairs after the target gene analysis of miRNA. In addition, the ceRNA-has-miR-590-5p was further extracted based on the has-miR-590-5p-DElncRNAs and DElncRNAs-DEmRNAs interactions. Finally, the results of the bioinformatics analysis was verified by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Totally, 980 DEmRNAs (539 up-regulated DEmRNAs and 441 down-regulated DEmRNAs) and 682 DElncRNAs (352 up-regulated DElncRNAs and 330 down-regulated DElncRNAs) were extracted between cells with hsa-miR-590-5p overexpression and normal cells. The functional analyses suggested that up-regulated genes were significantly enriched in several GO terms such as signal transduction and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway while down-regulated genes (SCUBE3, HIST1H4E and EDIL3) were associated with calcium ion binding, cell surface function and nucleosome assembly. Additionally, the miRNAs-DEmRNAs-DEmRNAs network represented 220 pairs among 41 miRNAs, 38 DElncRNAs and 61 DEmRNAs. Furthermore, the ceRNA-hsa-miR-590-5p network consisted of 70 interaction pairs including hsa-miR-590-5p-SCUBE3-CTB-113D17.1, hsa-miR-590-5p-EDIL3-CTB-113D17.1 and hsa-miR-590-5p-HIST1H4E-CTB-113D17.1) among hsa-miR-590-5p, 30 DEmRNAs and 4 down-regulated DElncRNAs. Meanwhile, the RT-PCR results incidated that compared with the blank (KB) and negative control (NC) group, the mRNA expression of SCUBE3, HIST1H4E, and EDIL3 were significantly descreased in mimics group (P value <0.05). The lncRNA CTB-113D17.1 might implicate with OS development probably via serving as a hsa-miR-590-5p sponge to regulate gene targets (SCUBE3, EDIL3 and HIST1H4E), which will facilitate the deep understandings of OS progression.
