Identification and bioinformatics analysis of miRNAs associated with human muscle invasive bladder cancer.

ABSTRACT: Accumulated evidence has indicated that micro (mi)RNAs play vital roles in the occurrence and development of human muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), however, little is known about the miRNAs' regulatory networks. In the present study, the authors aimed to use bioinformatics analysis to identify the key miRNAs and potential target genes, as well as studying the underlying mechanisms for MIBC. They collected several human MIBC tissues to generate a miRNA expression analysis by microarray analysis comparing with normal bladder tissues, identifying 104 differentially expressed miRNAs (102 were downregulated and 2 were upregulated) and predicted 11,884 putative target genes of the dysregulated miRNAs. To understand the function of dysregulated miRNAs in the development of MIBC, networks among miRNAs and genes, gene ontologies and pathways were built. The subsequent bioinformatics analysis indicated that the mitogen?associated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, apoptosis and pathways in cancer and the cell cycle, were significantly enriched Overall, these results provided comprehensive information on the biological function of dysregulated miRNAs in the development of MIBC. The identification of miRNAs and their putative targets may offer new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for human muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Project description:Improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms and immunoregulation of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is essential to predict prognosis and develop new targets for therapies. In this study, we used the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) MIBC and GSE13507 datasets to explore the differential co-expression genes in MIBC comparing with adjacent non-carcinoma tissues. We firstly screened 106 signature genes by Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) and further identified 15 prognosis-related genes of MIBC using the univariate Cox progression analysis. Then we systematically analyzed the genetic alteration, molecular mechanism, and clinical relevance of these 15 genes. We found a different expression alteration of 15 genes in MIBC comparing with adjacent non-carcinoma tissues and normal tissues. Meanwhile, the biological functions and molecular mechanisms of them were also discrepant. Among these, we observed the ANLN was highly correlated with multiple cancer pathways, molecular function, and cell components, revealing ANLN may play a pivotal role in MIBC development. Next, we performed a consensus clustering of 15 prognosis-related genes; the results showed that the prognosis, immune infiltration status, stage, and grade of MIBC patients were significantly different in cluster1/2. We further identified eight-genes risk signatures using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis based on the expression values of 15 prognosis-related genes, and also found a significant difference in the prognosis, immune infiltration status, stage, grade, and age in high/low-risk cohort. Moreover, the expression of PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA4 was significantly up-regulated in cluster1/high-risk-cohort than that in cluster2/low-risk-cohort. High normalized enrichment score of the Mitotic spindle, mTORC1, Complement, and Apical junction pathway suggested that they might be involved in the distinct tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) of cluster1/2 and high-/low-risk-cohort. Our study identified 15 prognosis-related genes of MIBC, provided a feasible stratification method to help for the future immunotherapy strategies of MIBC patients.
