Exploration of the molecular mechanisms of cervical cancer based on mRNA expression profiles and predicted microRNA interactions.

ABSTRACT: The molecular mechanisms of cervical cancer have been minimally explored with multi-omics data. In the present study, mRNA expression profiles were analyzed and combined with predicted miRNA interactions to contribute to the characterization of the underlying regulatory mechanisms of cervical cancer. A total of 92 significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in 33 tumor samples by comparison with 29 normal samples. mRNA-miRNA interaction network analysis revealed that 16 out of the 92 DEGs, including checkpoint kinase 1 (CHEK1), SRY-box 17 (SOX17), centrosomal protein 55, cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A), and inhibitor of DNA binding 4, were the targets of 4 miRNAs which were previously reported to be involved in the regulation of ce
