Predicting functional circular RNA-based competitive endogenous RNA network in gastric carcinoma using novel bioinformatics analysis.

ABSTRACT: Gastric cancer (GC) remains one of the most prevalent types of malignancies worldwide, and also one of the most reported lethal tumor-related diseases. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been certified to be trapped in multiple aspects of GC pathogenesis. Yet, the mechanism of this regulation is mostly undefined. This research is designed to discover the vital circRNA-microRNA (miRNA)-messenger RNA (mRNA) regulatory network in GC. Expression profiles with diverse levels including circRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs were all determined using microarray public datasets from Gene Expression Ominous (GEO). The differential circRNAs expressions were recognized against the published robust rank aggregation algorithm. Besides, a circRNA-based competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) interaction network was visualized via Cytoscape software (version 3.8.0). Functional and pathway enrichment analysis associated with differentially expressed targeted mRNAs were conducted using Cytoscape and an online bioinformatics database. Furthermore, an interconnected protein-protein interaction association network which consisted of 51 mRNAs was predicted, and hub genes were screened using STRING and CytoHubba. Then, several hub genes were chosen to explore their expression associated with survival rate and clinical stage in GEPIA and Kaplan-Meier Plotter databases. Finally, a carefully designed circRNA-related ceRNA regulatory subnetwork including four circRNAs, six miRNAs, and eight key hub genes was structured using the online bioinformatics tool.

Project description:BackgroundType 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), an autoimmune disease with a genetic tendency, has an increasing prevalence. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and circular RNA (circRNA) are receiving increasing attention in disease pathogenesis. However, their roles in T1DM are poorly understood. The present study aimed at identifying signature lncRNAs and circRNAs and investigating their roles in T1DM using the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network analysis.MethodsThe T1DM expression profile was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to identify the differentially expressed circRNAs, lncRNAs, and mRNAs. The biological functions of these differentially expressed circRNAs, lncRNAs, and mRNAs were analyzed by the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis. Targeting relationships of circRNA-miRNA, lncRNA-miRNA, and miRNA-mRNA were predicted, and the circRNA-lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA regulatory network was established. Finally, qRT-PCR was applied to identify the effect of hsa_circ_0002202 inhibition on the IFN-I induced macrophage inflammation.ResultsA total of 178 circRNAs, 404 lncRNAs, and 73 mRNAs were identified to be abnormally expressed in T1DM samples. Functional enrichment analysis results indicated that the differentially expressed genes were mainly enriched in extracellular matrix components and macrophage activation. CeRNA regulatory network showed that circRNAs and lncRNAs regulate mRNAs through integrate multiple miRNAs. In addition, in vitro experiments showed that hsa_circ_0002202 inhibition suppressed the type I interferon (IFN-I)-induced macrophage inflammation.ConclusionIn the present study, the circRNA-lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA regulatory network in T1DM was established for the first time. We also found that hsa_circ_0002202 inhibition suppressed the IFN-I-induced macrophage inflammation. Our study may lay a foundation for future studies on the ceRNA regulatory network in T1DM.
