Analyzing the lncRNA, miRNA, and mRNA-associated ceRNA networks to reveal potential prognostic biomarkers for glioblastoma multiforme

Sumario: | BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most seriously brain tumor with extremely poor prognosis. Recent research has demonstrated that competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network which long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) act as microRNA (miRNA) sponges to regulate mRNA expression were closely related to tumor development. However, the regulatory mechanisms and functional roles of ceRNA network in the pathogenesis of GBM are remaining poorly understood. METHODS: In this study, we systematically analyzed the expression profiles of lncRNA and mRNA (GSE51146 dataset) and miRNA (GSE65626 dataset) from GEO database. Then, we constructed a ceRNA network with the dysregulated genes by bioinformatics methods. The TCGA and GSE4290 dataset were used to confirm the expression and prognostic value of candidate mRNAs. RESULTS: In total, 3413 differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs, 305 differentially expressed miRNAs were indentified in GBM samples. Then a ceRNA network containing 3 lncRNAs, 5 miRNAs, and 60 mRNAs was constructed. The overall survival analysis of TCGA databases indicated that two mRNAs (C1s and HSD3B7) were remarkly related with the prognosis of GBM. CONCLUSION: The ceRNA network may increase our understanding to the pathogenesis of GBM. In general, the candidate mRNAs from the ceRNA network can be predicted as new therapeutic targets and prognostic biomarkers for GBM. |
