Identification of Potential miRNA-mRNA Regulatory Network Contributing to Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM).

ABSTRACT: Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a myocardial disease with unidentified pathogenesis. Increasing evidence indicated the potential role of microRNA (miRNA)-mRNA regulatory network in disease development. This study aimed to explore the miRNA-mRNA axis in HCM. Methods: The miRNA and mRNA expression profiles obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database were used to identify differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) and genes (DEGs) between HCM and normal samples. Target genes of DEMs were determined by miRTarBase. Gene ontology (GO) annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were conducted to identify biological functions of the DEGs and DEMs. miRNA-mRNA regulatory network was constructed to identify the hub genes and
