Bioinformatic Analysis Identified Potentially Prognostic Long Noncoding RNAs and MicroRNAs for Gastric Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common malignant tumor in the world. The present study was performed to discover the potential diagnostic and therapeutic long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) of GC. Data used in this study to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) and miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) were obtained from 187 GC tissues and 32 adjacent nontumor tissues. The total clinical data on GC included 187 cases. The above data were from the TCGA database. RStudio/Bioconductor software was used to conduct univariate analysis, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox, and multivariate Cox proportional risk regression for the DElncRNAs and DEmiRNAs. Clinical information was analyzed through univariate and multivariate Cox analysis. Results: five lncRNAs (AC007785.3, AC079385.3, LINC00392, LINC01729, and U95743.1) and two miRNAs (hsa-miR-3174, hsa-miR-605) were proven to be independent prognostic indicators of GC. Results of the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that AC007785.3, AC079385.3, LINC01729, miR-3174, and miR-605 were significantly correlated with OS of GC. The target genes of AC079385.3, miR-3174, and miR-605 were obtained and clustered mainly on MAPK and cGMP-PKG signaling pathways. The clinical data showed that age and clinicopathologic stage were correlated with the prognosis of GC. Furthermore, AC007785.3 was associated with metastasis of GC, and miR-3174 was associated with the primary tumor condition of GC. We identified three lncRNAs (AC007785.3, AC079385.3, LINC01729), two miRNAs (miR-3174, miR-605), and clinical factors related to the pathogenesis and prognosis of GC. Our predicted results provide a possible entry point for the study of prognostic markers for GC.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to identify novel microRNA (miRNA) or long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) signatures of laryngeal cancer recurrence and to investigate the regulatory mechanisms associated with this malignancy. Datasets of recurrent and nonrecurrent laryngeal cancer samples were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus database (GSE27020 and GSE25727) to examine differentially expressed miRNAs (DE‑miRs), lncRNAs (DE‑lncRs) and mRNAs (DEGs). miRNA‑mRNA and lncRNA‑miRNA networks were constructed by investigating the associations among these RNAs in various databases. Subsequently, the interactions identified were combined into a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network. Feature genes in the miRNA‑mRNA network were identified via topological analysis and a recursive feature elimination algorithm. A support vector machine (SVM) classifier was established using the betweenness centrality values in the miRNA‑mRNA network, consisting of 32 optimal feature‑coding genes. The classification effect was tested using two validation datasets. Furthermore, coding genes in the ceRNA network were examined via pathway enrichment analyses. In total, 21 DE‑lncRs, 507 DEGs and 55 DE‑miRs were selected. The SVM classifier exhibited an accuracy of 94.05% (79/84) for sample classification prediction in the TCGA dataset, and 92.66 and 91.07% in the two validation datasets. The ceRNA regulatory network comprised 203 nodes, corresponding to mRNAs, miRNAs and lncRNAs, and 346 lines, corresponding to the interactions among RNAs. In particular, the interactions with the highest scores were HLA complex group 4 (HCG4)‑miR‑33b, HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR)‑miR‑1‑MAGE family member A2 (MAGEA2), EMX2 opposite strand/antisense RNA (EMX2OS)‑miR‑124‑calcitonin related polypeptide α (CALCA) and EMX2OS‑miR‑124‑γ‑aminobutyric acid type A receptor γ2 subunit (GABRG2). Gene enrichment analysis of the genes in the ceRNA network identified that 11 pathway terms and 16 molecular function terms were significantly enriched. The SVM classifier based on 32 feature coding genes exhibited high accuracy in the classification of laryngeal cancer samples. miR‑1, miR‑33b, miR‑124, HOTAIR, HCG4 and EMX2OS may be novel biomarkers of recurrent laryngeal cancer, and HCG4‑miR‑33b, HOTAIR‑miR‑1‑MAGEA2 and EMX2OS‑miR‑124‑CALCA/GABRG2 may be associated with the molecular mechanisms regulating recurrent laryngeal cancer.

Project description:Ovarian cancer (OC) is a highly malignant gynecologic tumor with few treatments available and poor prognosis with the currently available diagnostic markers and interventions. More effective methods for diagnosis and treatment are urgently needed. Although the current evidence implicates ferroptosis in the development and therapeutic responses of various types of tumors, it is unclear to what extent ferroptosis affects OC. To explore the potential of ferroptosis-related genes as biomarkers and molecular targets for OC diagnosis and intervention, this study collected several datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas-OC (TCGA-OC), analyzed and identified the coexpression profiles of 60 ferroptosis-related genes and two subtypes of OC with respect to ferroptosis and further examined and analyzed the differentially expressed genes between the two subtypes. The results indicated that the expression levels of ferroptosis genes were significantly correlated with prognosis in patients with OC. Single-factor Cox and LASSO analysis identified eight lncRNAs from the screened ferroptosis-related genes, including lncRNAs RP11-443B7.3, RP5-1028K7.2, TRAM2-AS1, AC073283.4, RP11-486G15.2, RP11-95H3.1, RP11-958F21.1, and AC006129.1. A risk scoring model was constructed from the ferroptosis-related lncRNAs and showed good performance in the evaluation of OC patient prognosis. The high- and low-risk groups based on tumor scores presented obvious differences in clinical characteristics, tumor mutation burden, and tumor immune cell infiltration, indicating that the risk score has a good ability to predict the benefit of immunotherapy and may provide data to support the implementation of precise immunotherapy for OC. Although in vivo tests and research are needed in the future, our bioinformatics analysis powerfully supported the effectiveness of the risk signature of ferroptosis-related lncRNAs for prognosis prediction in OC. The findings suggest that these eight identified lncRNAs have great potential for development as diagnostic markers and intervention targets for OC and that patients with high ferroptosis-related lncRNA expression will receive greater benefits from conventional chemotherapy or treatment with ferroptosis inducers.
