Identification of the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA Prognostic Regulatory Network in Lung Adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Numerous studies have identified that circular RNAs (circRNAs) can serve as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) to regulate tumor progression. However, there are still a large number of circRNAs to be deciphered.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to reveal novel circRNAs and their potential role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).

Methods

To unveil LUAD-related circRNAs, microRNA (miRNAs), and messenger RNA (mRNA) and elucidate their possible molecular mechanisms, we employed a strategy combining extensive data mining and bioinformatics methods. According to the results of bioinformatics workflow analysis, a novel circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network was constructed.

Results

Ten circRNAs with different expressions were acquired from four Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) microarray datasets. Seven Prognostic-related differential miRNAs of LUAD were gained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Simultaneously, the miRNA reaction components corresponding to the ten circRNAs were predicted. Two circRNA-miRNA interactions including two circRNAs (hsa_circ_0008234 and hsa_circ_0002360) and two miRNAs (hsa-miR-490-3p and hsa-miR-1293) were identified above. Then, target genes of the two miRNAs and differently expressed genes (DEGs) from TCGA on LUAD were collected. Three hub-genes (ADCY9, NMUR1, SYT1) were determined according to prognosis in patients with LUAD ulteriorly.

Conclusions

hsa_circ_0008234/hsa-miR-490-3p/SYT1 and hsa_circ_0002360/hsa-miR-1293/ (ADCY9, NMUR1) networks were established, and identified molecules may be involved in pathogenesis and prognosis in patients with LUAD.

Project description:BackgroundThe high morbidity and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC) have posed great threats to human health. Circular RNA (CircRNA) and microRNA (miRNA), acting as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs), have been found to play vital roles in carcinogenesis. However, the biological function of ceRNAs in CRC pathogenesis and prognosis remains largely unexplored.AimTo identify the CRC-specific circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network and uncover the subnetwork associated with its prognosis.MethodsCircRNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs differentially expressed (DE) in CRC tissues were selected by expression file analysis in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and the downstream target molecules of circRNAs and miRNAs were predicted. Then, the intersection of differentially expressed RNA molecules with the predicted targets was determined to obtain a ceRNA network. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses were conducted to elucidate the possible mechanism of pathogenesis. A survival analysis using the gene profiles and clinical information in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was performed to identify the mRNAs associated with the clinical outcome of CRC patients and construct a prognostic subnetwork.ResultsWe downloaded three datasets (GSE126095, GSE41655 and GSE41657) of large-scale CRC samples from the GEO database. There were 55 DEcircRNAs, 114 DEmiRNAs and 267 DEmRNAs in CRC tissues compared with normal tissues. After intersecting these molecules with predicted targets, 19 circRNAs, 13 miRNAs and 28 mRNAs were chosen to develop a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network. GO and KEGG functional enrichment analyses indicated that the retinol metabolic process, leukocyte chemotaxis, extracellular matrix remodeling, endoplasmic reticulum stress, alcohol dehydrogenase activity, gastric acid secretion, nitrogen metabolism and NOD-like receptor signaling pathway might participate in the tumorigenesis of CRC. After verifying the identified mRNA effect in the TCGA database, we finally recognized 3 mRNAs (CA2, ITLN1 and LRRC19) that were significantly associated with the overall survival of CRC patients and constructed a ceRNA subnetwork including 5 circRNAs (hsa_circ_0080210, hsa_circ_0007158, hsa_circ_0000375, hsa_circ_0018909 and hsa_circ_0011536) and 3 miRNAs (hsa-miR-601, hsa-miR-671-5p and hsa-miR-765), which could contain innovative and noninvasive indicators for the early screening and prognostic prediction of CRC.ConclusionWe proposed a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network closely associated with the progression and clinical outcome of CRC that might include promising biomarkers for carcinogenesis and therapeutic targets.

Project description:The pathogenesis of gastric cancer (GC) is still not fully understood. We aimed to find the potential regulatory network for ceRNA (circRNA-miRNA-immune-related mRNA) to uncover the pathological molecular mechanisms of GC. The expression profiles of circRNA, miRNA, and mRNA in gastric tissue from GC patients were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets. Differentially expressed circRNAs, miRNAs, and immune-related mRNAs were filtered, followed by the construction of the ceRNA (circRNA-miRNA-immune-related mRNA) network. Functional annotation and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis of immune-related mRNAs in the network were performed. Expression validation of circRNAs and immune-related mRNAs was performed in the new GEO and TCGA datasets and in-vitro experiment. A total of 144 differentially expressed circRNAs, 216 differentially expressed miRNAs, and 2,392 differentially expressed mRNAs were identified in GC. Some regulatory pairs of circRNA-miRNA-immune-related mRNA were obtained, including hsa_circ_0050102-hsa-miR-4537-NRAS-Tgd cells, hsa_circ_0001013-hsa-miR-485-3p-MAP2K1-Tgd cells, hsa_circ_0003763-hsa-miR-145-5p-FGF10-StromaScore, hsa_circ_0001789-hsa-miR-1269b-MET-adipocytes, hsa_circ_0040573-hsa-miR-3686-RAC1-Tgd cells, and hsa_circ_0006089-hsa-miR-5584-3p-LYN-neurons. Interestingly, FGF10, MET, NRAS, RAC1, MAP2K1, and LYN had potential diagnostic value for GC patients. In the KEGG analysis, some signaling pathways were identified, such as Rap1 and Ras signaling pathways (involved NRAS and FGF10), Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis and cAMP signaling pathway (involved RAC1), proteoglycans in cancer (involved MET), T-cell receptor signaling pathway (involved MAP2K1), and chemokine signaling pathway (involved LYN). The expression validation of hsa_circ_0003763, hsa_circ_0004928, hsa_circ_0040573, FGF10, MET, NRAS, RAC1, MAP2K1, and LYN was consistent with the integrated analysis. In conclusion, the identified ceRNA (circRNA-miRNA-immune-related mRNA) regulatory network may be associated with the development of GC.

Project description:Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that seriously affects the quality of people. Unfortunately, the pathogenesis of OA has not been fully known. Therefore, this study aimed to construct a ceRNA regulatory network related to OA to explore the pathogenesis of OA. Methods: Differentially expressed circRNAs (DEcircRNAs), microRNAs (DEmiRNAs), and mRNAs (DEmRNAs) were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus microarray data (GSE175959, GSE105027, and GSE169077). The miRNA response elements and target mRNAs were identified using bioinformatics approaches. Additionally, a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network was established using Cytoscape version 3.8.0. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses of mRNAs in the network were conducted to explore the possible mechanisms underlying OA development. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis was performed to determine the hub genes. Based on the hub genes, a sub network was constructed using Cytoscape 3.8.0 version. Finally, connectivity map (CMap) and drug-gene interaction database (DGIdb) analyses were performed to identify the potential therapeutic targets for OA. Results: Altogether, five DEcircRNAs, 89 DEmiRNAs, and 345 DEmRNAs were identified. Moreover, a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network was established using three circRNAs, seven miRNAs, and 37 mRNAs. GO and KEGG analyses demonstrated that the mRNAs in the network could be related to the occurrence and development of OA. PPI analysis was performed and six key genes, namely serpin family H member 1 [SERPINH1], collagen type VIII alpha 2 chain [COL8A2], collagen type XV alpha 1 chain [COL15A1], collagen type VI alpha 3 chain [COL6A3], collagen type V alpha 1 chain [COL5A1], and collagen type XI alpha 1 chain [COL11A1], were identified. Furthermore, a circRNA-miRNA-hub gene subnetwork was established in accordance with two circRNAs (hsa_circ_0075320 and hsa_circ_0051428), two miRNAs (hsa-miR-6124 and hsa-miR-1207-5p), and six hub genes (COL11A1, SERPINH1, COL6A3, COL5A1, COL8A2, and COL15A1). Finally, three chemicals (noscapine, diazepam, and TG100-115) based on CMap analysis and two drugs (collagenase Clostridium histolyticum and ocriplasmin) based on DGIdb were discovered as potential treatment options for OA. Conclusion: This study presents novel perspectives on the pathogenesis and treatment of OA based on circRNA-related competitive endogenous RNA regulatory networks.
