Comprehensive Analysis of REST/NRSF Gene in Glioma and Its ceRNA Network Identification.

ABSTRACT: We sought to clarify the clinical relationship between REST/NRSF expression and the prognosis of glioma and explore the REST-associated competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network in glioma. We downloaded RNA-seq, miRNA-seq and correlated clinical data of 670 glioma patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas and analyzed the correlation between REST expression, clinical characteristics and prognosis. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified with DESeq2 and analyzed with Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) using the Profiler package. Starbase was used to explore the regulatory interaction between REST and miRNAs or LncRNAs. The lncRNA-miRNA-REST ceRNA network was constructed with Cytoscape. RT-qPCR, WB, CCK8, wound-healing, and luciferase assays
