Value of negatively correlated miR-205-5p/HMGB3 and miR-96-5p/FOXO1 on the diagnosis of breast cancer and benign breast diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

MicroRNA (miRNA) and mRNA levels in matching specimens were used to identify miRNA-mRNA interactions. We aimed to integrate transcriptome, immunophenotype, methylation, mutation, and survival data analyses to examine the profiles of miRNAs and target mRNAs and their associations with breast cancer (BC) diagnosis.

Methods

Based on the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), differentially expressed miRNAs and targeted mRNAs were screened from experimentally verified miRNA-target interaction databases using Pearson's correlation analysis. We used real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction to verify BC and benign disease samples, and logistic regression analysis was used to establish a diagnostic model based on miRNAs and target mRNAs. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to test the ability to recognize the miRNA-mRNA pairs. Next, we investigated the complex interactions between miRNA-mRNA regulatory pairs and phenotypic hallmarks.

Results

We identified 27 and 359 dysregulated miRNAs and mRNAs, respectively, based on the GEO and TCGA databases. Using Pearson's correlation analysis, 10 negative miRNA-mRNA regulatory pairs were identified after screening both databases, and the related miRNA and target mRNA levels were assessed in 40 BC tissues and 40 benign breast disease tissues. Two key regulatory pairs (miR-205-5p/High mobility group box 3 (HMGB3) and miR-96-5p/Forkhead Box O1 (FOXO1)) were selected to establish the diagnostic model. They also had utility in survival and clinical analyses.

Conclusions

A diagnostic model including two miRNAs and their respective target mRNAs was established to distinguish between BC and benign breast diseases. These markers play essential roles in BC pathogenesis.

Project description:BackgroundCircular RNAs (circRNAs) are important for the process of cancer initiation and progression. However, the role of circRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains incompletely understood. Therefore, we further explored the expression network of circRNAs in HCC.MethodsWhole-transcriptome microarrays of HCC and paired normal liver tissues were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The structures of tumor-associated circRNAs were acquired by the Cancer-Specific CircRNA Database (CSCD). StarBase, circBank, and R packages (miRNAtap and multiMiR) were used to predict miRNA targets of circRNAs and downstream molecules of miRNAs. Expression relationships between RNA-RNA interactions were evaluated by data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and GEO databases. ClusterProfiler and DOSE R packages were used for pathway enrichment to explore the biological functions of potential target genes. Finally, a possible circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network was established based on the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) hypothesis.ResultsThe differentially expressed circRNAs (DECs) were matched with cancer-specific circRNAs in the CSCD database and a screening analysis was performed to obtain 5 cancer-specific circRNAs. A total of 329 possible target miRNAs for 5 cancer-specific circRNAs were predicted by the circBank database, and intersection analysis with differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) revealed that miR-6746-3p and miR-96-5p were the two most suitable miRNAs targets for our selected circRNAs. Further expression verification and prediction of base complementary paired binding sites demonstrated the hsa_circ_0039466/miR-96-5p axis as a crucial pathway in HCC. Next, we found that FOXO1 and LEPR were two potential downstream molecules of the hsa_circ_0039466/miR-96-5p axis through target gene prediction analysis, differential expression analysis, and intersection analysis. The pathway enrichment results suggested that the hsa_circ_0039466/miR-96-5p axis affects the progression and outcome of HCC through the insulin resistance pathway. Finally, through multi-data crossover analysis and data analysis of HCC samples further confirmed the existence of the hsa_circ_0039466/miR-96-5p/FOXO1 ceRNA regulatory network and that the axis was closely related to clinical stage.Conclusionshsa_circ_0039466 facilitates the expression of FOXO1 by sponging miR-96-5p, and ultimately inhibits tumor progression. These results provide a theoretical basis for further understanding of the gene expression network of HCC.

Project description:ObjectiveWe investigated the relationship between plasma miRNAs levels and inflammatory characteristics in asthmatic patients.MethodsEligible adults with untreated asthma (n = 35) underwent a clinical assessment, sputum induction, and assessment of pulmonary function test and Asthma Control Test (ACT) scores. Asthma phenotypes were defined using the sputum cell count. miR-199a-5p expression was measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation was used to detect miR-199a-5p secretion from peripheral blood-derived neutrophil, lymphocyte, macrophage and BEAS-2B cells. The correlation of miR-199a-5p expression with clinical parameters was analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. In silico analysis predicted the target genes and signaling pathway of miR-199a-5p. Transfection of miR-199a-5p mimics in human airway smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) was performed in vitro.ResultsThe miRNA-199a-5p levels in plasma and sputum increased significantly in patients with neutrophilic asthma compared to healthy subjects (ps = 0.014 and 0.006, respectively). Expression of miR-199a-5p in the plasma of asthmatic patients positively correlated with sputum miR-199a-5p expression (r = 0.511, p = 0.021). The miR-199a-5p level was only elevated with LPS stimulation in neutrophils but not macrophages, lymphocytes, or epithelial cells from healthy controls (p < 0.01). miR-199a-5p expression increased in response to LPS (p = 0.005) and LPS combined with IL-4 (p = 0.003), but not IL-4 alone. However, peripheral neutrophils from eosinophilic asthma patients did not respond to LPS with increased miR-199a-5p expression (n = 5, p > 0.05) in contrast to the significant response from neutrophilic patients (n = 4, p < 0.0001). miR-199a-5p negatively correlated with FEV1, FVC and PEF (r = -0.377, p = 0.026; r = -0.419, p = 0.012; and r = -0.392, p = 0.024, respectively). Multivariate correlation analysis confirmed that the plasma miR-199a-5p levels negatively correlated with FEV1 in patients with asthma (Adjusted R2 = 0.164, p = 0.015). In silico analysis suggested that the WNT signaling pathway participates in miR-199a-5p mediation of smooth muscle cell hypertrophy. In vitro experiment, miR-199a-5p mimics inhibited the protein expressions of WNT2 and WNT4, decreased the c-myc expression and dramatically increased the Sm-MHC expression in HASMCs.ConclusionPlasma miR-199a-5p was increased in neutrophilic asthma and negatively correlated with pulmonary function, which suggests that miR-199a-5p actively contributes to disease pathogenesis by modulating the inflammatory process and transferring the signal from inflammatory cells to structure cells.
