Identification of circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network in gastric cancer by analysis of microarray data.


ABSTRACT: Background:Evidence is increasingly indicating that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are closely involved in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. However, the function of circRNAs in gastric cancer (GC) are still unknown. Here, we aimed to determine the regulatory mechanism of circRNAs in GC. Methods:Expression profiles of circRNAs were downloaded from four Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) microarray datasets. Expression profiles of miRNAs and mRNAs were collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. We used the robust rank aggregation method to identify differentially expressed circRNAs (DEcircRNAs) and a ceRNA network was constructed based on circRNA-miRNA pairs and miRNA-mRNA pairs. Functional and pathway enrichment analyses were performed and interactions between proteins were predicted using Cytoscape. Aa subnetwork regulatory module was built using the MCODE plugin. Results:A total of eight DEcircRNAs, 240 DEmiRNAs, and 4578 DEmRNAs were identified. The circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network was constructed based on seven circRNAs, 33 miRNAs, 69 mRNAs in GC. GO and KEGG pathway analysis indicated DEmRNAs might be associated with GC onset and progression. A PPI network was established and four hub genes (MCM4, KIF23, MCM8, and NCAPD2) were determined from the network. Then a circRNA-miRNA-hub gene subnetwork was constructed based on the four DEcircRNAs, three DEmiRNAs, and four DEmRNAs. Conclusions:Our findings provide a deeper understanding the circRNA-related competing endogenous RNA regulatory mechanism in GC pathogenesis.
