Altered expression and functional roles of the transcribed ultraconserved regions (T-UCRs), as genomic sequences with 100% conservation between the genomes of human, mouse, and rat, in the pathophysiology of neoplasms has already been investigated. Nevertheless, the relevance of the functions for T-UCRs in gastric cancer (GC) is still the subject of inquiry. In the current study, we first used a genome-wide profiling approach to analyze the expression of T-UCRs in GC patients. Then, we constructed a three-component regulatory network and investigated potential diagnostic and prognostic values of the T-UCRs. The Cancer Genome Atlas Stomach Adenocarcinoma (TCGA-STAD) dataset was used as a resource for the RNA-sequencing data. FeatureCounts was utilized to quantify the number of reads mapped to each T-UCR. Differential expression analysis was then conducted using DESeq2. In the following, interactions between T-UCRs, microRNAs (miRNAs), and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) were combined into a three-component network. Enrichment analyses were performed and a protein–protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed. The R Survival package was utilized to identify survival-related significantly differentially expressed T-UCRs (DET-UCRs). Using an in-house cohort of GC tissues, expression of two DET-UCRs was furthermore experimentally verified. Our results showed that several T-UCRs were dysregulated in TCGA-STAD tumoral samples compared to nontumoral counterparts. The three-component network was constructed which composed of DET-UCRs, miRNAs, and mRNAs nodes. Functional enrichment and PPI network analyses revealed important enriched signaling pathways and gene ontologies such as “pathway in cancer” and regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis. Five T-UCRs were significantly correlated with the overall survival of GC patients. While no expression of uc.232 was observed in our in-house cohort of GC tissues, uc.343 showed an increased expression, although not statistically significant, in gastric tumoral tissues. The constructed three-component regulatory network of T-UCRs in GC presents a comprehensive understanding of the underlying gene expression regulation processes involved in tumor development and can serve as a basis to investigate potential prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets. 相似文献

As a class of short noncoding RNAs, microRNAs (miRNAs) play a key role in the modulation of gene expression. Although, the regulatory roles of currently identified miRNAs in various cancer types including breast cancer have been well documented, there are many as yet undiscovered miRNAs. The aim of the current study was to bioinformatically reanalyze a list of 189 potentially new miRNAs introduced in a previously published paper (PMID: 21346806) and experimentally explore the existence and function of a candidate one: hsa-miR-B43 in breast cancer cells. The sequences of 189 potential miRNAs were re-checked in the miRbase database. Genomic location and conservation of them were assessed with the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) genome browser. SSC profiler, RNAfold, miRNAFold, MiPred, and FOMmiR bioinformatics tools were furthermore utilized to explore potential hairpin structures and differentiate real miRNA precursors from pseudo ones. hsa-miR-B43 was finally selected as one of the best candidates for laboratory verification. The expression and function of hsa-miR-B43 were examined by real-time polymerase chain reaction, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, and wound-healing assays. DIANA-microT, RNAhybrid and Enrichr tools were used to predict the miRNA target genes and for further enrichment analysis. We could detect the exogenous and endogenous expression of hsa-miR-B43, as a real novel miRNA, in cancer cell lines. Gene Ontology enrichment, pathway analysis and wound-healing assay results furthermore confirmed that a metastasis-related function may be assigned to hsa-miR-B43. Our results introduced hsa-miR-B43, as a novel functional miRNA, which might play a role in the metastatic process. Further studies will be necessary to completely survey the existence and function of hsa-miR-B43 in other cancer types. 相似文献
