Prediction of candidate RNA signatures for recurrent ovarian cancer prognosis by the construction of an integrated competing endogenous RNA network.

ABSTRACT: Tumor recurrence hinders treatment of ovarian cancer. The present study aimed to identify potential biomarkers for ovarian cancer recurrence prognosis and explore relevant mechanisms. RNA?sequencing of data from the TCGA database and GSE17260 dataset was carried out. Samples of the data were grouped according to tumor recurrence information. Following data normalization, differentially expressed genes/micro RNAs (miRNAs)/long non?coding (lncRNAs) (DEGs/DEMs/DELs) were selected between recurrent and non?recurrent samples. Their correlations with clinical information were analyzed to identify prognostic RNAs. A support vector machine classifier was used to find the optimal gene set with feature genes that could conclusively distinguish different samples. A protein?protein interaction (PPI) network was established for DEGs using relevant protein databases. An integrated 'lncRNA/miRNA/mRNA' competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was constructed to reveal potential regulatory relationships among different RNAs. We identified 36 feature genes (e.g. TP53 and RBPMS) for the classification of recurrent and non?recurrent ovarian cancer samples. Prediction with this gene set had a high accuracy (91.8%). Three DELs (WT1?AS, NBR2 and ZNF883) were highly associated with the prognosis of recurrent ovarian cancer. Predominant DEMs with their targets were hsa?miR?375 (target: RBPMS), hsa?miR?141 (target: RBPMS), and hsa?miR?27b (target: TP53). Highlighted interactions in the ceRNA network were 'WT1?AS?hsa?miR?375?RBPMS' and 'WT1?AS?-hsa?miR?27b?TP53'. TP53, RBPMS, hsa?miR?375, hsa?miR?141, hsa?miR?27b, and WT1?AS may be biomarkers for recurrent ovarian cancer. The interactions of 'WT1?AS?hsa?-miR?375?RBPMS' and 'WT1?AS?hsa?miR?27b?TP53' may be potential regulatory mechanisms during cancer recurrence.

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.

Project description:Background: Precise classification has been reported as a central challenge in the clinical research on diagnosis and prediction of treatment efficacy in asthma. In this study, the aim was to investigate the underlying competing endogenous RNA network mechanism of asthma, especially T2 asthma, as well as to find more diagnostic biomarkers and effective therapeutic targets. Methods: Multiple sets of T2 asthma airway biopsy transcription profiles were collected, which involved long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), mRNA, and microRNA (miRNA). DIANA-LncBase, targetscan, mirwalk, and miRDB databases were employed to predict interactions between lncRNAs, miRNAs and target mRNAs. To identify mRNAs correlated with T2 asthma, differential expression and network analyses were conducted through weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Subsequently, the expressions of potential biomarkers were examined through qRT-PCR analysis in the T2 asthma coreinteracting cellular factor (IL-13/IL-33) induced experimental model. Lastly, the ceRNA network was confirmed by plasmid transfection and RNAi experiments in a 16HBE cell line. Results: 30 lncRNAs, 22 miRNAs and 202 mRNAs were differentially expressed in airway biopsies from T2 asthma patients. As indicated by the ROC analysis, the lncRNA, PCAT19, had high diagnostic accuracy (AUC >0.9) in distinguishing T2 asthma patients from non-T2 asthma patients and healthy controls. Furthermore, a competing ceRNA network was established, consisting of 13 lncRNAs, 12 miRNAs, as well as eight mRNAs. The reliability of this network was verified by testing several representative interactions in the network. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this study has been the first to establish an lncRNA-mediated ceRNA regulatory network for studying T2 asthma. The findings of this study may elucidate the pathogenesis and help find potential therapeutic targets for T2 asthma. In T2 asthma, PCAT19-dominated ceRNA regulation networks may play a critical role, and PCAT19 may serve as a potential immune-related biomarker for asthma and other respiratory diseases correlated with eosinophilic inflammation.

Project description:BackgroundHuntington's disease (HD) is one of the most common polyglutamine disorders, leading to progressive dyskinesia, cognitive impairment, and neuropsychological problems. Besides the dysregulation of many protein-coding genes in HD, previous studies have revealed a variety of non-coding RNAs that are also dysregulated in HD, including several long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). However, an integrated analysis of differentially expressed (DE) genes based on a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network is still currently lacking.MethodsIn this study, we have systematically analyzed the gene expression profile data of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) derived from patients with HD and controls (healthy controls and the isogenic controls of HD patient cell lines corrected using a CRISPR-Cas9 approach at the HTT locus) to screen out DE mRNAs and DE lncRNAs and create a ceRNA network. To learn more about the possible functions of lncRNAs in the ceRNA regulatory network in HD, we conducted a functional analysis of Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and established a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network for mRNAs interacting with these lncRNAs.ResultsWe identified 490 DE mRNAs and 94 DE lncRNAs, respectively. Of these, 189 mRNAs and 20 lncRNAs were applied to create a ceRNA network. The results showed that the function of DE lncRNAs mainly correlated with transcriptional regulation as demonstrated by GO analysis. Also, KEGG enrichment analysis showed these lncRNAs were involved in tumor necrosis factor, calcium, Wnt, and NF-kappa B signaling pathways. Interestingly, the PPI network revealed that a variety of transcription factors in the ceRNA network interacted with each other, suggesting such lncRNAs may regulate transcription in HD by controlling the expression of such protein-coding genes, especially transcription factors.ConclusionsOur research provides new clues for uncovering the mechanisms of lncRNAs in HD and can be used as the focus for further investigation.
