Integrated Analysis of Hub Genes and miRNAs in Dilated Cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT: Purpose:The aim of this study is to identify hub genes and miRNAs by the miRNA-mRNA interaction network in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) disease. Methods:The differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMis) and mRNAs (DEMs) were selected using data of DCM patients downloaded from the GEO database (GSE112556 and GSE3585). Gene Ontology (GO) pathway analysis and transcription factor enrichment analysis were used for selecting DEMis, and the target mRNAs of DEMis were filtered by using miRDB, miRTarBase, and TargetScan. Cytoscape software was used to visualize the network between miRNAs and mRNAs and calculate the hub genes. GO and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses were used to analyze the mRNAs in the regulatory network. Results:A total of 9 DEMis and 281 DEMs were selected, from which we reconstructed the miRNA-mRNA network consisting of 7 miRNAs and 51 mRNAs. The top 10 nodes, miR-144-3p, miR-363-3p, miR-9-3p, miR-21-3p, miR-144-5p, miR-338-3p, ID4 (inhibitor of DNA binding/differentiation 4), miR-770-5p, PIK3R1 (p85? regulatory subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)), and FN1 (fibronectin 1), were identified as important regulators. Conclusions:The study uncovered several important hub genes and miRNAs involved in the pathogenesis of DCM, among which, the miR-144-3p/FN1 and miR-9-3p/FN1 pathways may play an important role in myocardial fibrosis, which can help identify the etiology of DCM, and provide potential therapeutic targets.

Project description:Introduction: Crohn's disease (CD) is a disease that manifests mainly as chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, which is still not well understood in terms of its pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to use bioinformatics analysis to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and miRNAs with diagnostic and therapeutic potential in CD. Materials and methods: Three CD datasets (GSE179285, GSE102133, GSE75214) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. DEGs between normal and CD tissues were identified using the GEO2R online tool. The Gene Ontology (GO) term and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses of the DEGs were conducted using the clusterProfiler function in the R package. Protein-protein interaction network (PPI) analysis and visualization were performed with STRING and Cytoscape. Ten hub genes were identified using cytoHubba's MCC algorithm and validated with datasets GSE6731 and GSE52746. Finally, the miRNA gene regulatory network was constructed by Cytoscape and NetworkAnalyst to predict potential microRNAs (miRNAs) associated with DEGs. Results: A total of 97 DEGs were identified, consisting of 88 downregulated genes and 9 upregulated genes. The enriched functions and pathways of the DEGs include immune system process, response to stress, response to cytokine and extracellular region. KEGG pathway analysis indicates that the genes were significantly enriched in Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, IL-17 signaling pathway, Rheumatoid arthritis and TNF signaling pathway. In combination with the results of the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and CytoHubba, 10 hub genes including IL1B, CXCL8, CXCL10, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL5, ICAM1, IL1RN, TIMP1 and MMP3 were selected. Based on the DEG-miRNAs network construction, 5 miRNAs including hsa-mir-21-5p, hsa-mir-93-5p, hsa-mir-98-5p, hsa-mir-1-3p and hsa-mir-335-5p were identified as potential critical miRNAs. Conclusion: In conclusion, a total of 97 DEGs, 10 hub genes and 5 miRNAs that may be involved in the progression or occurrence of CD were identified in this study, which could be regarded as biomarkers of CD.
