Clinical value of microRNA-198-5p downregulation in lung adenocarcinoma and its potential pathways.

ABSTRACT: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), the main subtype of non-small cell lung cancer, is known to be regulated by various microRNAs (miRs/miRNAs); however, the role of miR-198-5p in LUAD has not been clarified. In the present study, the clinical value of miR-198-5p in LUAD and its potential molecular mechanism was evaluated. miR-198-5p expression was examined by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) in 101 paired LUAD and adjacent normal lung tissues. Subsequently, the miR-198-5p expression level was determined from microarray data from the Gene Expression Omnibus, ArrayExpress and by meta-analyses. Furthermore, the target mRNAs of miR-198-5p from 12 miRNA-mRNA predictive tools were intersected with The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)-based differentially expressed genes. In addition, Gene Ontology annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were conducted to determine the possible mechanism of miR-198-5p in LUAD. The Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins database was employed to construct a protein-protein interaction network among the potential target genes of miR-198-5p. The results showed that miR-198-5p expression was lower in LUAD tissues than in adjacent non-cancerous lung tissues (4.469±2.495 vs. 5.301±2.502; P=0.015). Meta-analyses, including the data from the present study and online microarray data, also verified the downregulation of miR-198-5p in 584 cases of LUAD. The expression of miR-198-5p was associated with the age, blood vessel invasion, Tumor-Node-Metastasis stage, and lymph node metastasis of patients with LUAD and served as an independent prognostic factor for survival. The hub genes of miR-198-5p were upregulated in LUAD, according to TCGA and The Human Protein Atlas. For the KEGG pathway analysis, the most enriched KEGG pathway was the p53 signaling pathway (P=1.42×10-6). These findings indicated that the downregulation of miR-198-5p may play a pivotal role in the development of LUAD by targeting various signaling pathways.

Project description:To examine the clinical value of miR-198-5p in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC).Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) microarray datasets were used to explore the miR-198-5p expression and its diagnostic value in LUSC. Real-time reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to evaluate the expression of miR-198-5p in 23 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) LUSC tissues and corresponding non-cancerous tissues. The correlation between miR-198-5p expression and clinic pathological features was assessed. Meanwhile, putative target messenger RNAs of miR-198-5p were identified based on the analysis of differentially expressed genes in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and 12 miRNA prediction tools. Subsequently, the putative target genes were sent to Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses.MiR-198-5p was low expressed in LUSC tissues. The combined standard mean difference (SMD) values of miR-198-5p expression based on GEO datasets were -?0.30 (95% confidence interval (CI) -?0.54, -?0.06) and -?0.39 (95% CI -?0.83, 0.05) using fixed effect model and random effect model, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity were not sufficiently high, as the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.7749 (Q*?=?0.7143) based on summarized receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curves constructed using GEO datasets. Based on the in-house RT-qPCR, miR-198-5p expression was 4.3826?±?1.7660 in LUSC tissues and 4.4522?±?1.8263 in adjacent normal tissues (P?=?0.885). The expression of miR-198-5p was significantly higher in patients with early TNM stages (I-II) than that in cases with advanced TNM stages (III-IV) (5.4400?±?1.5277 vs 3.5690?±?1.5228, P?=?0.008). Continuous variable-based meta-analysis of GEO and PCR data displayed the SMD values of -?0.26 (95% CI -?0.48, -?0.04) and -?0.34 (95% CI -?0.71, 0.04) based on fixed and random effect models, respectively. As for the diagnostic value of miR-198-5p, the AUC based on the SROC curve using GEO and PCR data was 0.7351 (Q*?=?0.6812). In total, 542 genes were identified as the targets of miR-198-5p. The most enriched Gene Ontology terms were epidermis development among biological processes, cell junction among cellular components, and protein dimerization activity among molecule functions. The pathway of non-small cell lung cancer was the most significant pathway identified using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis.The expression of miR-198-5p is related to the TNM stage. Thus, miR-198-5p might play an important role via its target genes in LUSC.

Project description:BackgroundUpregulation of the six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of prostate-1 (STEAP1) is closely associated with prognosis of numerous malignant cancers. However, its role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), the most common type of lung cancer, remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the role of STEAP1 in the occurrence and progression of LUAD and the potential mechanisms underlying its regulatory effects.MethodsSTEAP1 mRNA and protein expression were analyzed in 40 LUAD patients via real-time PCR and western blotting, respectively. We accessed the clinical data of 522 LUAD patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) to investigate the expression and prognostic role of STEAP1 in LUAD. Further, we performed gene ontology (GO) analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis, and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) to elucidate the potential mechanism underlying the role of STEAP1 in LUAD. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of STEAP1 was analyzed using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes (STRING) database, and hub genes with significant positive and negative associations with STEAP1 were identified and their role in LUAD prognosis was predicted.ResultsSTEAP1 was significantly upregulated in LUAD patients and associated with LUAD prognosis. Further, TCGA data indicated that STEAP1 upregulation is correlated with the clinical prognosis of LUAD. GO and KEGG analysis revealed that the genes co-expressed with STEAP1 were primarily involved in cell division, DNA replication, cell cycle, apoptosis, cytokine signaling, NF-kB signaling, and TNF signaling. GSEA revealed that homologous recombination, p53 signaling pathway, cell cycle, DNA replication, apoptosis, and toll-like receptor signaling were highly enriched upon STEAP1 upregulation. Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) analysis revealed that the top 10 hub genes associated with STEAP1 expression were also associated with the LUAD prognosis.ConclusionSTEAP1 upregulation potentially influences the occurrence and progression of LUAD and its co-expressed genes via regulation of homologous recombination, p53 signaling, cell cycle, DNA replication, and apoptosis. STEAP1 is a potential prognostic biomarker for LUAD.
