Identification of a new pseudogenes/lncRNAs-hsa-miR-26b-5p-COL12A1 competing endogenous RNA network associated with prognosis of pancreatic cancer using bioinformatics analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pancreatic carcinoma is one of the most malignant cancers globally. However, a systematic mRNA-miRNA-lncRNA/pseudogene network associated with the molecular mechanism of pancreatic cancer progression has not been described.

Results

The significant DEGs identified comprised 159 up-regulated and 92 down-regulated genes. According to the expression and survival analysis, three genes (COL12A1, APOL1, and MMP14) were significantly higher in tumor samples when compared with normal controls and their upregulation indicated a poor prognosis. Subsequently, 28, 17, and 11 miRNAs were predicted to target COL12A1, APOL1, and MMP14, respectively. The hsa-miR-26b-5p-COL12A1 axis showed a potential in suppressing the progression of pancreatic cancer. Moreover, 12 lncRNAs and 92
