Identification of the targets of hematoporphyrin derivative in lung adenocarcinoma using integrated network analysis.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) has a sensibilization effect in lung adenocarcinoma. This study was conducted to identify the target genes of HPD in lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS:RNA sequencing was performed using the lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 after no treatment or treatment with X-ray or X-ray?+?HPD. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened using Mfuzz package by noise-robust soft clustering analysis. Enrichment analysis was carried out using "BioCloud" online tool. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and module analyses were performed using Cytoscape software. Using WebGestalt tool and integrated transcription factor platform (ITFP), microRNA target and transcription factor (TF) target pairs were separately predicted. An integrated regulatory network was visualized with Cytoscape software. RESULTS:A total of 815 DEGs in the gene set G1 (continuously dysregulated genes along with changes in processing conditions [untreated-treated with X-ray-X-ray?+?treated with HPD]) and 464 DEGs in the gene set G2 (significantly dysregulated between X-ray?+?HPD-treated group and untreated/X-ray-treated group) were screened. The significant module identified from the PPI network for gene set G1 showed that ribosomal protein L3 (RPL3) gene could interact with heat shock protein 90 kDa alpha, class A member 1 (HSP90AA1). TFs AAA domain containing 2 (ATAD2) and protein inhibitor of activated STAT 1 (PIAS1) were separately predicted for the genes in gene set G1 and G2, respectively. In the integrated network for gene set G2, ubiquitin-specific peptidase 25 (USP25) was targeted by miR-200b, miR-200c, and miR-429. CONCLUSION:RPL3, HSP90AA1, ATAD2, and PIAS1 as well as USP25, which is targeted by miR-200b, miR-200c, and miR-429, may be the potential targets of HPD in lung adenocarcinoma.

Project description:BackgroundA growing body of evidence indicates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can act as competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) to bind to microRNAs (miRNAs), thereby affecting and regulating the expression of target genes. The lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network has been theorized to play an indispensable role in many types of tumors. However, the role of the lncRNA-related ceRNA regulatory network in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains unclear.MethodsWe downloaded the RNAseq and miRNAseq data of LUAD from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data portal and identified differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs), differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs), and differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) between LUAD and corresponding paracancerous tissues by using the edgeR package of R software. We constructed the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network by using Cytoscape (version 3.7.2) on the basis of the interaction generated from the miRcode, miRTarBase, miRDB, and TargetScan databases. Gene Ontology (GO) annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were performed with DAVID 6.8 bioinformatics resources and plotted by using the ggplot2 package in R. The effect of genes on LUAD prognosis was assessed by applying the survival package in R in accordance with the Kaplan-Meier curve.ResultsIn total, 1645 DElncRNAs, 117 DEmiRNAs, and 2729 DEmRNAs were identified in LUAD. The LUAD-specific ceRNA network was composed of 157 nodes and 378 edges (329 DElncRNA-DEmiRNA interactions and 49 DEmiRNA-DEmRNA interactions). GO and KEGG pathway annotations suggested that the LUAD-specific ceRNA network was related to tumor-related molecular functions and pathways. Seven lncRNAs (DISC1-IT1, SYNPR-AS1, H19, LINC00460, LINC00518, DSCR10, and STEAP2-AS1), one miRNA (hsa-mir-31), and 16 mRNAs (ATAD2, OSCAR, KIF23, E2F7, PFKP, MCM4, CEP55, CBX2, CCNE1, CLSPN, CCNB1, CDC25A, EZH2, CHEK1, SLC7A11, and PBK) were revealed to be significantly correlated with overall survival.ConclusionIn this study, we described the potential regulatory mechanism of the progression of LUAD. We proposed a new lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network that could help further explore the molecular mechanisms of LUAD.

Project description:BackgroundLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a common lung cancer with a high mortality, for which microRNAs (miRNAs) play a vital role in its regulation. Multiple messenger RNAs (mRNAs) may be regulated by miRNAs, involved in LUAD tumorigenesis and progression. However, the miRNA-mRNA regulatory network involved in LUAD has not been fully elucidated.MethodsDifferentially expressed miRNAs and mRNA were derived from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset in tissue samples and from our microarray data in plasma (GSE151963). Then, common differentially expressed (Co-DE) miRNAs were obtained through intersected analyses between the above two datasets. An overlap was applied to confirm the Co-DEmRNAs identified both in targeted mRNAs and DEmRNAs in TCGA. A miRNA-mRNA regulatory network was constructed using Cytoscape. The top five miRNA were identified as hub miRNA by degrees in the network. The functions and signaling pathways associated with the hub miRNA-targeted genes were revealed through Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway. The key mRNAs in the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network were identified using the STRING database and CytoHubba. Survival analyses were performed using Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA).ResultsThe miRNA-mRNA regulatory network consists of 19 Co-DEmiRNAs and 760 Co-DEmRNAs. The five miRNAs (miR-539-5p, miR-656-3p, miR-2110, let-7b-5p, and miR-92b-3p) in the network were identified as hub miRNAs by degrees (>100). The 677 Co-DEmRNAs were targeted mRNAs from the five hub miRNAs, showing the roles in the functional analyses of the GO analysis and KEGG pathways (inclusion criteria: 836 and 48, respectively). The PPI network and Cytoscape analyses revealed that the top ten key mRNAs were NOTCH1, MMP2, IGF1, KDR, SPP1, FLT1, HGF, TEK, ANGPT1, and PDGFB. SPP1 and HGF emerged as hub genes through survival analysis. A high SPP1 expression indicated a poor survival, whereas HGF positively associated with survival outcomes in LUAD.ConclusionThis study investigated a miRNA-mRNA regulatory network associated with LUAD, exploring the hub miRNAs and potential functions of mRNA in the network. These findings contribute to identify new prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for LUAD patients in clinical settings.

Project description:BackgroundLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common subtype of nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and has a high incidence rate and mortality. The survival of LUAD patients has increased with the development of targeted therapeutics, but the prognosis of these patients is still poor. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in the occurrence and development of LUAD. The purpose of this study was to identify novel abnormally regulated lncRNA-microRNA (miRNA)-messenger RNA (mRNA) competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks that may suggest new therapeutic targets for LUAD or relate to LUAD prognosis.MethodsWe used the SBC human ceRNA array V1.0 to screen for differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs and mRNAs in four paired LUAD samples. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses were performed to annotate the DE lncRNAs and mRNAs. R bioinformatics packages, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) LUAD database, and Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival analysis tools were used to validate the microarray data and construct the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA regulatory network. Then, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to validate the DE lncRNAs in 7 LUAD cell lines.ResultsA total of 2819 DE lncRNAs and 2396 DE mRNAs (P < 0.05 and fold change ≥ 2 or ≤ 0.5) were identified in four paired LUAD tissue samples. In total, 255 of the DE lncRNAs were also identified in TCGA. The GO and KEGG analysis results suggested that the DE genes were most enriched in angiogenesis and cell proliferation, and were closely related to human cancers. Moreover, the differential expression of ENST00000609697, ENST00000602992, and NR_024321 was consistent with the microarray data, as determined by qRT-PCR validation in 7 LUAD cell lines; however, only ENST00000609697 was associated with the overall survival of LUAD patients (log-rank P = 0.029). Finally, through analysis of ENST00000609697 target genes, we identified the ENST00000609697-hsa-miR-6791-5p-RASL12 ceRNA network, which may play a tumor-suppressive role in LUAD.ConclusionENST00000609697 was abnormally expressed in LUAD. Furthermore, downregulation of ENST00000609697 and its target gene RASL12 was associated with poor prognosis in LUAD. The ENST00000609697-hsa-miR-6791-5p-RASL12 axis may play a tumor-suppressive role. These results suggest new potential prognostic and therapeutic biomarkers for LUAD.
