Sumario: | Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a kind of cerebrovascular disorder, which may result in the subarachnoid hemorrhage with high lethality and disability. The purpose of this study was to reveal the pathogenesis and identify novel biomarkers in IA. We processed the raw microRNA (miRNA) expression profile data of IA obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus. Then weighted correlation network analysis was performed to identify the hub miRNAs in IA. Target genes of hub miRNAs were predicted using multiR package. In addition, a protein-protein network as well as miRNA-mRNA network was constructed and functional and pathway enrichment analyses were done. Finally, the prediction value of hub miRNAs in IA was tested in validation set. Two modules that had relation with IA were identified and 10 hub miRNAs in each module with higher gene-module association were selected. The protein-protein network and miRNA-mRNA network contained 243 nodes and 1496 edges. Functional and pathway enrichment analyses showed that they were mainly enriched in cell cycle, cell proliferation, and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. Besides, hsa-miR-191-3p, hsa-miR-423-5p, hsa-miR-424-5p, hsa-miR-425-3p were proven to be valuable in prediction IA occurrence. In a word, this study reveals hub miRNAs, target genes and pathways potentially participating in formation and development of IA and screens out some candidate biomarkers. Our findings provide some new perspectives for research and treatment of IA. |
