摘要:

应用生物信息学方法筛选并分析三阴性乳腺癌(triple-negative breast cancer,TNBC)相关miRNA及其靶基因,为TNBC的研究提供潜在的分子靶点。采用GEO2R分析TNBC相关miRNA芯片数据集,筛选差异表达倍数最大的5个上调和5个下调miRNA。miRWalk、TargetScan和miRDB预测靶基因并进行Veen分析取交集。利用DAVID对靶基因进行GO富集分析和KEGG通路分析。利用STRING数据库构建蛋白互作网络,并结合Cytoscape构建miRNA-靶基因调控网络,从而筛选出关键的miRNA及其关键靶基因。利用GEPIA2数据库对靶基因进行生存分析。GEO2R筛选出486个差异miRNA,上调和下调的miRNA分别有298个和188个。对差异倍数最大的5个上调和5个下调miRNA的靶基因进行富集分析显示,靶基因主要参与ErbB信号通路、癌症中转录调控紊乱和cGMP-PKG信号通路等。miRNA-靶基因调控网络显示,表达上调的关键miRNA为miR-611,其关键靶基因为CDC27、UBE2D2、UBR1、SPSB1、HERC2RLIM;表达下调的关键miRNA为miR-1205,其关键靶基因为WSB1、FBXL8、UBE2W、PTPN11、ARF6、DNAJC6COPS2。生存分析表明,UBR1P=0.007 2)和PTPN11P=0.029)表达上调可显著降低TNBC患者的整体生存率。经筛选获得的关键miRNA及其关键靶基因可作为潜在分子标记物用于TNBC的早期诊断、治疗靶点选择和预后判断,并为后续的研究提供参考依据。

Abstract:

Bioinformatics methods were used to screen and analyze triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) associated miRNAs and their target genes which could serve as potential molecular targets in the study of TNBC. GEO2R was used to analyze the miRNA chip datasets and screen the five upregulated and five downregulated miRNAs with the highest fold changes. miRWalk, TargetScan and miRDB predicted target genes and performed Veen analysis to obtain the overlap. We used DAVID to perform GO enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway analysis of target genes. The STRING database was used to construct a protein-protein interaction network, and combined with Cytoscape to construct a miRNA-target gene regulatory network, so as to screen out the key miRNAs and their key target genes. The survival of target genes was analyzed by GEPIA2 database. 486 differentially expressed miRNAs were screened by GEO2R, among them the upregulated and downregulated miRNAs were 298 and 188 respectively. Enrichment analysis of the five up-regulated and five down-regulated miRNA target genes with the largest fold difference showed that the target genes were mainly involved in the ErbB signaling pathway, the transcriptional regulation disorder in cancer, and the cGMP-PKG signaling pathway and so on. miRNA-target gene regulatory network showed that the key upregulated miRNA was miR-611 and its key target genes were CDC27UBE2D2UBR1SPSB1HERC2 and RLIM. The key downregulated miRNA was miR-1205 and its key target genes were WSB1FBXL8UBE2W, PTPN11ARF6DNAJC6 and COPS2. Survival analysis showed that the upregulated expression of UBR1P=0.007 2) and PTPN11P=0.029) could significantly decrease the overall survival rate of TNBC patients. The key miRNAs and their target genes obtained in the study can be used as potential candidate targets for early diagnosis, precising therapy and prognosis judgment of TNBC, and can provide guidance for further research.
