Integrative analysis of competing endogenous RNA networks reveals the functional lncRNAs in heart failure.

ABSTRACT: Heart failure has become one of the top causes of death worldwide. It is increasing evidence that lncRNAs play important roles in the pathology processes of multiple cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, lncRNAs can function as ceRNAs by sponging miRNAs to affect the expression level of mRNAs, implicating in numerous biological processes. However, the functional roles and regulatory mechanisms of lncRNAs in heart failure are still unclear. In our study, we constructed a heart failure-related lncRNA-mRNA network by integrating probe re-annotation pipeline and miRNA-target interactions. Firstly, some lncRNAs that had the central topological features were found in the heart failure-related lncRNA-mRNA network. Then, the lncRNA-associated functional modules were identified from the network, using bidirectional hierarchical clustering. Some lncRNAs that involved in modules were demonstrated to be enriched in many heart failure-related pathways. To investigate the role of lncRNA-associated ceRNA crosstalks in certain disease or physiological status, we further identified the lncRNA-associated dysregulated ceRNA interactions. And we also performed a random walk algorithm to identify more heart failure-related lncRNAs. All these lncRNAs were verified to show a strong diagnosis power for heart failure. These results will help us to understand the mechanism of lncRNAs in heart failure and provide novel lncRNAs as candidate diagnostic biomarkers or potential therapeutic targets.

Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) is a common type of cancer, and identification of novel diagnostic biomarkers associated with this disease is important. The present study aimed to identify novel diagnostic biomarkers associated with the prognosis of GC, using an integrated bioinformatics approach. Differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) associated with GC were identified using Gene Expression Omnibus datasets (GSE58828, GSE72305 and GSE99416) and The Cancer Genome Atlas database. A competing endogenous RNA network that incorporated five lncRNAs [long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 501 (LINC00501), LINC00365, SOX21 antisense divergent transcript 1 (SOX21-AS1), GK intronic transcript 1 (GK-IT1) and DLEU7 antisense RNA 1 (DLEU7-AS1)], 29 microRNAs and 114 mRNAs was constructed. Gene Ontology and protein-protein interaction network analyses revealed that these lncRNAs may be involved in 'biological regulation', 'metabolic process', 'cell communication', 'developmental process', 'cell proliferation', 'reproduction' and the 'cell cycle'. The results of receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that LINC00501 (AUC=0.819), LINC00365 (AUC=0.580), SOX21-AS1 (AUC=0.736), GK-IT1 (AUC=0.823) and DLEU7-AS1 (AUC=0.932) had the potential to become valuable diagnostic biomarkers for GC. Associations with clinicopathological characteristics demonstrated that LINC00501 expression was significantly associated with sex (P=0.015) and tumor grade (P=0.022). Furthermore, LINC00365 expression was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis (P=0.025). Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that LINC00501, LINC00365 and SOX21-AS1 were enriched in signaling pathways associated with GC. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR analysis demonstrated that LINC00501 expression (P=0.043) was significantly upregulated in GC tissues, whereas the expression levels of LINC00365 (P=0.033) and SOX21-AS1 (P=0.037) were significantly downregulated in GC tissues. Taken together, the results of the present study suggest that LINC00501, LINC00365, SOX21-AS1, GK-IT1 and DLEU7-AS1 may be used as novel diagnostic biomarkers for GC, and may be functionally associated with GC development and progression.
