Construction of liver hepatocellular carcinoma-specific lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network based on bioinformatics analysis.

ABSTRACT: Liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) is one of the major causes of cancer-related death worldwide with increasing incidences, however there are very few studies about the underlying mechanisms and pathways in the development of LIHC. We obtained LIHC samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to screen differentially expressed mRNAs, lncRNAs, miRNAs and driver mutations. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway, Gene ontology enrichment analyses and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network were performed. Moreover, we constructed a competing endogenous lncRNAs-miRNAs-mRNAs network. Finally, cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to identify important prognostic differentially expressed genes. Total of 1284 mRNAs, 123 lncRNAs, 47 miRNAs were identified wi
