Expression and gene regulatory network of SNHG1 in hepatocellular carcinoma.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1), a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), is a transcript that negatively regulates tumour suppressor genes, such as p53. Abnormal SNHG1 expression is associated with cell proliferation and cancer. We used sequencing data downloaded from Genomic Data Commons to analyse the expression and interaction networks of SNHG1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Methods

Expression was examined using the limma package of R and verified by Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis. We also obtained miRNA expression data from StarBase to determine the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA-related RNA regulatory network in HCC. Kaplan-Meier (KM) analysis was performed using the survival package of R. Gene Ontology annotation of genes was carried out using Metascape.

Results

We found that SNHG1 was overexpressed and often amplified in HCC patients. In addition, SNHG1 upregulation was associated with the promotion of several primary biological functions, including cell proliferation, transcription and protein binding. Moreover, we found similar trends of small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1), E2F8 (E2F transcription factor 8), FANCE (FA complementation group E) and LMNB2 (encodes lamin B2) expression. In the SNHG1-associated network, high expression levels of SNHG1 (log-rank P value?=?0.0643), E2F8 (log-rank P value?=?0.000048), FANCE (log-rank P value?=?0.00125) and LMNB2 (log-rank P value?=?0.0392) were significantly associated with poor survival. Single-cell analysis showed that E2F8 may play an important role in tumorigenesis or cancer development.

Conclusions

Our results highlight the benefit of utilizing multiple datasets to understand the functional potential regulatory networks of SNHG1 and the role of SNHG1 in tumours.
