Prospective pathway signaling and prognostic values of MicroRNA-9 in ovarian cancer based on gene expression omnibus (GEO): a bioinformatics analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a vital role in the development of ovarian cancer (OC). The aim of this study to investigate the prognostic value and potential signaling pathways of hsa-miR-9-5p (miR-9) in OC through literature review and bioinformatics methods.

Methods

The expression of miR-9 in OC was assessed using the public datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. And a literature review was also performed to investigate the correlation between miR-9 expression and the OC prognosis. Two mRNA datasets (GSE18520 and GSE36668) of OC tissues and normal ovarian tissues (NOTs) were downloaded from GEO to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The target genes of hsa-miR-9-5p (TG-miR-9-5p) were predicted using miRWALK3.0 and TargetScan. Then the gene overlaps between DEGs in OC and the predicted TG-miR-9-5p were confirmed using a Venn diagram. After that, overlapping genes were subjected to Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. Finally, a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using STRING and Cytoscape, and the impact of hub genes on OC prognosis was analyzed.

Results

It was found that OC patients with miR-9 low expression had poor prognosis. A total of 107 DEGs related to both OC and miR-9 were identified. Dozens of DEGs were enriched in developmental process, extracellular matrix structural constituent, cell junction, axon guidance. In the PPI network analysis, 5 of the top 10 hub genes was significantly associated with decreased overall survival of OC patients, namely FBN1 (HR?=?1.64, P?ConclusionLow expression of miR-9 indicates poor prognosis of OC patients. MiR-9 plays a crucial role in the biological process of OC by binding to target genes, thus affecting the prognosis of patients.

Project description:The present study aimed to explore the potential clinical significance of microRNA (miR)-124-3p expression in the hepatocarcinogenesis and development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), as well as the potential target genes of functional HCC pathways. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to evaluate the expression of miR-124-3p in 101 HCC and adjacent non-cancerous tissue samples. Additionally, the association between miR-124-3p expression and clinical parameters was also analyzed. Differentially expressed genes identified following miR-124-3p transfection, the prospective target genes predicted in silico and the key genes of HCC obtained from Natural Language Processing (NLP) were integrated to obtain potential target genes of miR-124-3p in HCC. Relevant signaling pathways were assessed with protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks, Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Protein Annotation Through Evolutionary Relationships (PANTHER) pathway enrichment analysis. miR-124-3p expression was significantly reduced in HCC tissues compared with expression in adjacent non-cancerous liver tissues. In HCC, miR-124-3p was demonstrated to be associated with clinical stage. The mean survival time of the low miR-124-3p expression group was reduced compared with that of the high expression group. A total of 132 genes overlapped from differentially expressed genes, miR-124-3p predicted target genes and NLP identified genes. PPI network construction revealed a total of 109 nodes and 386 edges, and 20 key genes were identified. The major enriched terms of three GO categories included regulation of cell proliferation, positive regulation of cellular biosynthetic processes, cell leading edge, cytosol and cell projection, protein kinase activity, transcription activator activity and enzyme binding. KEGG analysis revealed pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer and non-small cell lung cancer as the top three terms. Angiogenesis, the endothelial growth factor receptor signaling pathway and the fibroblast growth factor signaling pathway were identified as the most significant terms in the PANTHER pathway analysis. The present study confirmed that miR-124-3p acts as a tumor suppressor in HCC. miR-124-3p may target multiple genes, exerting its effect spatiotemporally, or in combination with a diverse range of processes in HCC. Functional characterization of miR-124-3p targets will offer novel insight into the molecular changes that occur in HCC progression.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Chronic periodontitis (CP) is a multifactorial inflammatory disease. For the diagnosis of CP, it is necessary to investigate molecular biomarkers and the biological pathway of CP. Although analysis of mRNA expression profiling with microarray is useful to elucidate pathological mechanisms of multifactorial diseases, it is expensive. Therefore, we utilized pooled microarray gene expression data on the basis of data sharing to reduce hybridization costs and compensate for insufficient mRNA sampling. The aim of the present study was to identify molecular biomarker candidates and biological pathways of CP using pooled datasets in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. METHODS:Three pooled transcriptomic datasets (GSE10334, GSE16134, and GSE23586) of gingival tissue with CP in the GEO database were analyzed for differentially expressed genes (DEGs) using GEO2R, functional analysis and biological pathways with the Database of Annotation Visualization and Integrated Discovery database, Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network and hub gene with the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interaction Genes database, and biomarker candidates for diagnosis and prognosis and upstream regulators of dominant biomarker candidates with the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis database. RESULTS:We shared pooled microarray datasets in the GEO database. One hundred and twenty-three common DEGs were found in gingival tissue with CP, including 81 upregulated genes and 42 downregulated genes. Upregulated genes in Gene Ontology were significantly enriched in immune responses, and those in the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway were significantly enriched in the cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway, cell adhesion molecules, and hematopoietic cell lineage. From the PPI network, the 12 nodes with the highest degree were screened as hub genes. Additionally, six biomarker candidates for CP diagnosis and prognosis were screened. CONCLUSIONS:We identified several potential biomarkers for CP diagnosis and prognosis (e.g., CSF3, CXCL12, IL1B, MS4A1, PECAM1, and TAGLN) and upstream regulators of biomarker candidates for CP diagnosis (TNF and TGF2). We also confirmed key genes of CP pathogenesis such as CD19, IL8, CD79A, FCGR3B, SELL, CSF3, IL1B, FCGR2B, CXCL12, C3, CD53, and IL10RA. To our knowledge, this is the first report to reveal associations of CD53, CD79A, MS4A1, PECAM1, and TAGLN with CP.
