Identification of Key Components in Colon Adenocarcinoma Using Transcriptome to Interactome Multilayer Framework.

ABSTRACT: Complexity of cascading interrelations between molecular cell components at different levels from genome to metabolome ordains a massive difficulty in comprehending biological happenings. However, considering these complications in the systematic modelings will result in realistic and reliable outputs. The multilayer networks approach is a relatively innovative concept that could be applied for multiple omics datasets as an integrative methodology to overcome heterogeneity difficulties. Herein, we employed the multilayer framework to rehabilitate colon adenocarcinoma network by observing co-expression correlations, regulatory relations, and physical binding interactions. Hub nodes in this three-layer network were selected using a heterogeneous random walk with random jump procedure. We exploited local composite modules around the hub nodes having high overlay with cancer-specific pathways, and investigated their genes showing a different expressional pattern in the tumor progression. These genes were examined for survival effects on the patient's lifespan, and those with significant impacts were selected as potential candidate biomarkers. Results suggest that identified genes indicate noteworthy importance in the carcinogenesis of the colon.

Project description:BackgroundLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. The etiology and pathophysiology of LUAD remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to identify the key genes, miRNAs and transcription factors (TFs) associated with the pathogenesis and prognosis of LUAD.MethodsThree gene expression profiles (GSE43458, GSE32863, GSE74706) of LUAD were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by GEO2R.The Gene Ontology (GO) terms, pathways, and protein-protein interactions (PPIs) of these DEGs were analyzed. Bases on DEGs, the miRNAs and TFs were predicted. Furthermore, TF-gene-miRNA co-expression network was constructed to identify key genes, miRNAs and TFs by bioinformatic methods. The expressions and prognostic values of key genes, miRNAs and TFs were carried out through The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and Kaplan Meier-plotter (KM) online dataset.ResultsA total of 337 overlapped DEGs (75 upregulated and 262 downregulated) of LUAD were identified from the three GSE datasets. Moreover, 851 miRNAs and 29 TFs were identified to be associated with these DEGs. In total, 10 hub genes, 10 key miRNAs and 10 key TFs were located in the central hub of the TF-gene-miRNA co-expression network, and validated using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Specifically, seven genes (PHACTR2, MSRB3, GHR, PLSCR4, EPB41L2, NPNT, FBXO32), two miRNAs (hsa-let-7e-5p, hsa-miR-17-5p) and four TFs (STAT6, E2F1, ETS1, JUN) were identified to be associated with prognosis of LUAD, which have significantly different expressions between LUAD and normal lung tissue. Additionally, the miRNA/gene co-expression analysis also revealed that hsa-miR-17-5p and PLSCR4 have a significant negative co-expression relationship (r=?0.33, P=1.67e-14) in LUAD.ConclusionsOur study constructed a regulatory network of TF-gene-miRNA in LUAD, which may provide new insights about the interaction between genes, miRNAs and TFs in the pathogenesis of LUAD, and identify potential biomarkers or therapeutic targets for LUAD.
