Integrated DNA methylation and gene expression analysis in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate DNA methylation sites and gene expression associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and the possible pathological mechanism involved, we performed (1) genome-wide DNA methylation and mRNA expression profiling in peripheral blood datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus repository of CAD samples and controls; (2) functional enrichment analysis and differential methylation gene regulatory network construction; (3) validation tests of 11 differential methylation positions of interest and the corresponding gene expression; and (4) correlation analysis for DNA methylation and mRNA expression data. A total of 669 differentially expressed mRNAs were matched to differentially methylated genes. After disease ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway, gene ontology, protein-protein interaction and network construction and module analyses, 11 differentially methylated positions (DMPs) corresponding to 11 unique genes were observed: BDNF - cg26949694, BTRC - cg24381155, CDH5 - cg02223351, CXCL12 - cg11267527, EGFR - cg27637738, IL-6 - cg13104385, ITGB1 - cg20545410, PDGFRB - cg25613180, PIK3R1- cg00559992, PLCB1 - cg27178677 and PTPRC - cg09247619. After validation tests of 11 DMPs of interest and the corresponding gene expression, we found that CXCL12 was less hypomethylated in the CAD group, whereas the relative expression of ITGB1, PDGFRB and PIK3R1 was lower in CAD samples, and CXCL12 and ITGB1 methylation was negatively correlated with their expression. This study identified the correlation between DNA methylation and gene expression and highlighted the importance of CXCL12 in CAD pathogenesis.

Project description:The present study aimed to investigate the key genes and microRNAs (miRNA/miRs) associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) progression. The gene expression profile of GSE20680 and GSE12288, and the miRNA expression profile of GSE28858 were downloaded from the gene expression omnibus database. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in GSE20680 and GSE12288, and the differentially expressed miRNAs in GSE28858 were screened using the limma package in R software. Common DEGs between GSE20680 and GSE12288 were selected. Functions and pathways of DEGs and miRNAs were enriched using the DAVID tool from the GO and KEGG databases. The regulatory network of miRNA and selected CAD‑associated DEGs was constructed. A total of 270 DEGs (167 upregulated and 103 downregulated) based on the GSE20680 dataset, and 2,268 DEGs (534 upregulated and 1,734 downregulated) based on the GSE12288 dataset, were screened. For the differentially expressed miRNAs, 214 were identified (102 upregulated and 112 downregulated) in CAD samples and were screened. Interferon regulatory factor 2 (IRF2) and cell death‑inducing DFFA‑like effector b (CIDEB), which are regulated by signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 and myc‑associated factor X, were identified as common DEGs for CAD. miR‑455‑5p, miR‑455‑3p and miR‑1257, which are involved in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)protein assembly pathway and peptide antigen assembly with MHC class I protein complex pathway, may regulate various miRNAs and target genes, including pro‑opiomelancortin (POMC), toll‑like receptor 4 (TLR4), interleukin 10 (IL10), activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) and calreticulin (CALR). The current study identified IRF2 and CIDEB as crucial genes, and miRNA‑455‑5p, miRNA‑455‑3p and miR‑1257 along with their target genes POMC, TLR4 and CALR, as miRNAs involved in CAD progression. Thus, the present study may provide a basis for future research into the progression mechanism of CAD.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Ovarian cancer is an epithelial malignancy that intrigues people for its poor outcome and lack of efficient treatment, while methylation is an important mechanism that have been recognized in many malignancies. In this study, we attempt to assess abnormally methylated gene markers and pathways in ovarian cancer by integrating three microarray datasets. METHODS:Three datasets including expression (GSE26712 and GSE66957) and methylation (GSE81224) datasets were accessed. GEO2R platform was used to detect abnormally methylated-differentially expressed genes. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were built and analysed for hypermethylated and hypermethylated differentially expressed genes using Cytoscape software and Mcode app. GEPIA and cBioPortal platforms were used to validate the expression of the hub genes and the correlation between their mRNA expressions and methylation levels. Kaplan Meier-plotter platform were used to assess the prognostic significance of the hub genes. RESULTS:Six hundred eighty-one hypomethylated-upregulated genes were detected and involved in Rap1 signaling pathway, biosynthesis of amino acids, endocrine resistance, apoptosis, pathways in cancer. The hub genes were TNF, UBC, SRC, ESR1, CDK1, PECAM1, CXCR4, MUC1, IKBKG. Additionally, 337 hypermethylated-downregulated genes were detected and involved in pathways in cancer, focal adhesion, sphingolipid signaling pathway, EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance, cellular senescence. The hub genes were BDNF, CDC42, CD44, PPP2R5C, PTEN, UBB, BMP2, FOXO1, KLHL2. TNF, ESR1, MUC1, CD44, PPP2R5C, PTEN, UBB and FOXO1 showed significant negative correlation between their mRNA expressions and methylation levels. TNF, ESR1 and FOXO1 showed prognostic significance. CONCLUSIONS:Two novel gene networks were found for ovarian cancer. TNF, ESR1, MUC1 and FOXO1 are our candidate genes that might take part in ovarian cancer progression in an epigenetic approach, TNF, ESR1 and FOXO1 may serve as potential markers for ovarian cancer prognosis evaluation.
