GeneAI 3.0: powerful, novel, generalized hybrid and ensemble deep learning frameworks for miRNA species classification of stationary patterns from nucleotides. Sci Rep 2024; 14:7154. [PMID: 38531923 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-56786-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Due to the intricate relationship between the small non-coding ribonucleic acid (miRNA) sequences, the classification of miRNA species, namely Human, Gorilla, Rat, and Mouse is challenging. Previous methods are not robust and accurate. In this study, we present AtheroPoint's GeneAI 3.0, a powerful, novel, and generalized method for extracting features from the fixed patterns of purines and pyrimidines in each miRNA sequence in ensemble paradigms in machine learning (EML) and convolutional neural network (CNN)-based deep learning (EDL) frameworks. GeneAI 3.0 utilized five conventional (Entropy, Dissimilarity, Energy, Homogeneity, and Contrast), and three contemporary (Shannon entropy, Hurst exponent, Fractal dimension) features, to generate a composite feature set from given miRNA sequences which were then passed into our ML and DL classification framework. A set of 11 new classifiers was designed consisting of 5 EML and 6 EDL for binary/multiclass classification. It was benchmarked against 9 solo ML (SML), 6 solo DL (SDL), 12 hybrid DL (HDL) models, resulting in a total of 11 + 27 = 38 models were designed. Four hypotheses were formulated and validated using explainable AI (XAI) as well as reliability/statistical tests. The order of the mean performance using accuracy (ACC)/area-under-the-curve (AUC) of the 24 DL classifiers was: EDL > HDL > SDL. The mean performance of EDL models with CNN layers was superior to that without CNN layers by 0.73%/0.92%. Mean performance of EML models was superior to SML models with improvements of ACC/AUC by 6.24%/6.46%. EDL models performed significantly better than EML models, with a mean increase in ACC/AUC of 7.09%/6.96%. The GeneAI 3.0 tool produced expected XAI feature plots, and the statistical tests showed significant p-values. Ensemble models with composite features are highly effective and generalized models for effectively classifying miRNA sequences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autoimmune diseases (AD) are severe pathophysiological ailments that are stimulated by an exaggerated immunogenic response towards self-antigens, which can cause systemic or site-specific organ damage. An array of complex genetic and epigenetic facets majorly contributes to the progression of AD, thus providing significant insight into the regulatory mechanism of microRNA (miRNA). miRNAs are short, non-coding RNAs that have been identified as essential contributors to the post-transcriptional regulation of host genome expression and as crucial regulators of a myriad of biological processes such as immune homeostasis, T helper cell differentiation, central and peripheral tolerance, and immune cell development. AIMS This article tends to deliberate and conceptualize the brief pathogenesis and pertinent epigenetic regulatory mechanism as well as miRNA networks majorly affecting five different ADs namely rheumatoid arthritis (RA), type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis (MS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and inflammatory bowel disorder (IBD) thereby providing novel miRNA-based theranostic interventions. RESULTS & DISCUSSION Pertaining to the differential expression of miRNA attributed in target tissues and cellular bodies of innate and adaptive immunity, a paradigm of scientific expeditions suggests an optimistic correlation between immunogenic dysfunction and miRNA alterations. CONCLUSION Therefore, it is not astonishing that dysregulations in miRNA expression patterns are now recognized in a wide spectrum of disorders, establishing themselves as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Owing to its theranostic potencies, miRNA targets have been widely utilized in the development of biosensors and other therapeutic molecules originating from the same.

Abstract
The symptoms of Behçet's disease (BD), a multisystemic condition with autoimmune and inflammation as hallmarks, include arthritis, recurring oral and vaginal ulcers, skin rashes and lesions, and involvement of the nervous, gastrointestinal, and vascular systems. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), may be important regulators of inflammation and autoimmune disease. These ncRNAs are essential to the physiological and pathophysiological disease course, and miRNA in particular has received significant attention for its role and function in BD and its potential use as a diagnostic biomarker in recent years. Although promising as therapeutic targets, miRNAs must be studied further to fully comprehend how miRNAs in BD act biologically.

Elevated interleukin-17A levels despite reduced microRNA-326 gene expression in celiac disease patients under gluten-free diet. ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF INTERNAL MEDICINE 2022; 60:166-172.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: The microRNA-326 (miR-326) gene, by targeting ETS Proto-Oncogene 1 (ETS1), regulates the differentiation and interleukin-17A production of T helper 17 (Th17) cells. Celiac disease (CD) is an intestinal autoimmune disorder, in which the cascade of Th17 cells plays an important role in its pathogenicity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression changes of miR-326 and its two target genes ETS1 and IL-17A in celiac disease patients under a gluten-free diet (GFD). We expected the expression of miR-326 and IL-17A gene to decrease, and the expression of the ETS1 gene to increase, following the adherence to GFD.
Methods: Peripheral blood samples of 40 CD patients under GFD (for more than 1 year) and 40 healthy individuals were collected. RNA was extracted, cDNA was synthesized and the miR-326, ETS1 and IL-17A gene expressions were evaluated by the quantitative polymerase real-time qPCR method. P-value ˂ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Although miR-326 mRNA expression was significantly lower in CD patients (P = 0.001), no significant difference was observed in ETS1 mRNA level between the two groups (P = 0.54), but IL-17A was significantly overexpressed in CD patients (P=0.002). No significant correlation was observed between the expression of the studied genes and the patientsʼ symptoms and Marsh classification.
Conclusion:Adherence to the GFD for one to two years did not have the expected effect on the expression of genes in this panel. The most important finding that contradicted our hypothesis was the observation of high IL-17A levels in CD patients despite dieting, which may be related to the protective effect of this cytokine on intestinal tight junctions, which needs to be confirmed in further studies.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are non-coding RNAs with covalently closed structures that modulate the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we explored whether circ_0008043 regulated the biological function of HCC cells. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to detect circ_0008043, microRNA (miR)-326, and RAB21 levels. Expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and vimentin was assessed using qPCR. Cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were evaluated using 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, colony formation, and transwell assays. Xenograft tumors were used to evaluate cell growth in vivo. The interaction between miR-326 and circ_0008043 or RAB21 was assessed using dual-luciferase reporter analysis and RNA pull-down analysis. The data illustrated that circ_0008043 and RAB21 were highly expressed, while miR-326 was expressed at less levels in HCC tissues and cells. Interfering with circ_0008043 suppressed cellular proliferation, migration, invasion, and cell growth. Circ_0008043 was confirmed to be an miR-326 sponge that targets RAB21. Rescue experiments showed that inhibiting miR-326 abrogated the effect induced by knockdown of circ_0008043, and overexpressed RAB21 abolished the effect induced by miR-326 overexpression. In summary, silencing of circ_0008043 impeded HCC progression by regulating the miR-326/RAB21 axis. These data suggest that circ_0008043 may have clinical value in the treatment of HCC.

Abstract
Objective: Epigenetics is a quickly spreading scientific field, and the study of epigenetic regulation in various diseases such as infectious diseases is emerging. The microribonucleic acids (miRNAs) as one of the types of epigenetic processes bind to their target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and regulate their stability and/or translation. This study aims to evaluate non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) with a focus on miR-200c in COVID-19. In this review, we first define the epigenetics and miRNAs, and then the role of miRNAs in diseases focusing on lung diseases is explained. Finally, in this study, we will investigate the role and position of miRNAs with a focus on miR-200c in viral and severe acute respiratory syndrome–related coronavirus (SARS-CoV2) infections. Methods: Systematic search of MEDLINE, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library was conducted for all relative papers from 2000 to 2021 with the limitations of the English language. Finally, we selected 128 articles which fit the best to our objective of study, among which 5 articles focused on the impact of miR-200c. Results: Due to the therapeutic results of various drugs in different races and populations, epigenetic processes, especially miRNAs, are important. The overall results showed that different types of miRNAs can be effective on the process of various lung diseases through different target pathways and genes. It is likely that amplified levels of miR-200c may lead to decreased angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) expression, which in turn may increase the potential of infection, inflammation, and the complications of coronavirus disease. Conclusion: miR-200c and its correlation with ACE2 can be used as early prognostic and diagnostic markers.

Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA), a non-coding single-stranded RNA molecule with 20–23 nucleotides encoded by endogenous genes, plays an essential role in maintaining normal cell function and regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, autophagy, and cell metabolism. The imbalance between miRNA and genes can cause a series of diseases, including malignancies. miRNA-326 (miR-326) is extensively known for its core regulation of various biological processes. This review presents an overview of the highlights of miR-326 in female-related diseases. To understand the impact of miR-326 on female disorders, we search all published studies about miR-326 having a high incidence in female conditions, including cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, breast cancer, intrauterine adhesion, and multiple autoimmune diseases. We aim to learn about the mutual regulation mechanism between miR-326 and related genes and signaling pathways, as well as to elaborate on the value of miR-326 as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target of female diseases. Our results provide reliable evidence and new strategies for treating female tumors and autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression in fish, but its regulatory mechanism of the skin mucosal immune response remains poorly understood. In order to investigate the immunological role of miRNAs, three sRNA libraries (mSC, mST1, mST2) from skin samples of crucian carp (Carassiusauratus) infected with Aeromonas hydrophila at three time points (0, 6 and 12 hpi) were constructed and examined using Illumina Hiseq 2000 platform. All of the identified miRNA, rRNA and tRNA were 69444 (13.39%), 29550 (5.70%) and 10704 (2.06%) in skin, respectively. At 6 and 12 hpi, 829 and 856 miRNAs were differentially expressed, respectively. Among these DEMs, 53 known and 10 novel miRNAs were all significantly differentially expressed during early infection (p < 0.01). GO and KEGG enrichment analyses revealed that 118111 target-genes were primarily involved in cellular process, metabolic process, biological regulation and stress response, such as antigen processing and presentation, complement and coagulation cascades, phagosome, MAPK, TLR, NF-κB and JAK-STAT signaling pathways. These results will help to elucidate the mechanism of miRNAs involved in the skin mucosal immune response of crucian carp against Aeromonas hydrophila infection.

Abstract
Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of critical epigenetic regulators involved in several autoimmune diseases. Our previous study reported an miR-326-induced increase in T helper (Th) 17 cells in a mouse model of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), but the pathogenic effect of miR-326 in HT patients has not been verified. The goal of the present study was to explore the pathogenic role of miR-326 and its underlying molecular mechanism in HT patients. Methods: A total of 58 HT patients and 55 normal controls were enrolled in this study. We examined whether Th17 cells and miR-326 were aberrantly altered in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of HT patients with flow cytometry and real-time polymerase chain reaction. Levels of membrane interleukin (IL)-23R (mIL-23R) were determined by flow cytometry and Western blot to explore the critical role of mIL-23R in the development of Th17 cells. Isolated CD3+ T cells were used to further investigate the ectodomain shedding of mIL-23R by a disintegrin and metalloprotease (ADAM17). Furthermore, miR-326 inhibitor and mimics were transfected into PBMCs derived from HT patients and healthy controls to verify the regulation of ADAM17 by miR-326. Results: We observed elevated miR-326 levels in the PBMCs of HT patients compared with those in the PBMCs of healthy controls. Consistent with IL-23-induced STAT3 overactivation, substantially more HT patient-derived PBMCs differentiated into Th17 cells under polarization culture conditions, which may, at least in part, have resulted from enhanced mIL-23R levels. Furthermore, ADAM17, an ectodomain sheddase of mIL-23R, was targeted and negatively regulated by miR-326. Inhibiting ADAM17 might attenuate the ectodomain shedding of mIL-23R. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the effect of miR-326 on the IL-23/IL-23R/Th17 cell axis in HT patients might be partially due to the targeting of ADAM17.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Altered innate immune function plays an important role in the initiation of inflammatory response in Behcet's disease (BD). Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are the master regulators of the innate immune system. Because the role of TLRs remains unknown in the pathogenesis of BD, the present study aimed to evaluate the expression levels and methylation status of the TLR2 and TLR4 promoters in patients with BD. METHODS In the present study, Iranian Azeri BD patients (n = 47) with an active (n = 22) and inactive (n = 25) period, and healthy controls (n = 61), were matched according to age, sex and ethnicity. TLR2 and TLR4 genes promoter CpG islands were predicted with the Eukaryotic Promoter Database (https://epd.vital-it.ch). Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP) was conducted. RESULTS The results showed that mRNA of TLR4 was significantly increased in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of BD patients with an active phase compared to the control group. Differences in mRNA of TLR4 between the inactive BD and control groups were not significant. Differences in TLR2 mRNA levels in the PBMCs of the active and inactive phase BD and control groups were not significant. The methylation rate of TLR4 gene promoter was significantly lower in the active and inactive BD groups compared to the control group. The difference between the active and inactive BD groups was not significant. There was no significant difference in the methylation rates of the TLR2 gene between studied groups. CONCLUSIONS Our preliminary findings suggest that the hypomethylation of TLR4 gene may be involved in the pathogenesis of BD via increasing TLR4 expression.

[PMID: 32228617 PMCID: PMC7104519 DOI: 10.1186/s13041-020-00579-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2019] [Accepted: 03/02/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) is a relatively common malignant complication that occurs in newborn infants, but promising therapies remain limited. In this study, we focused on the role of miR-326 and its target gene δ-opioid receptor (DOR) in the pathogenesis of neonatal HIBD. The expression levels of miR-326 and DOR after hypoxic-ischemic injury were examined both in vivo and in vitro. The direct relationship between miR-326 and DOR was confirmed by a dual-luciferase reporter assay. Further, effects of miR-326 on cell viability and apoptosis levels under oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) were analyzed. The expression levels of miR-326 were significantly lower and DOR levels were significantly higher in the HIBD group than the control group both in vivo and in vitro. Overexpression of miR-326 downregulated the expression of DOR, while suppression of miR-326 upregulated the expression of DOR. The dual-luciferase reporter assay further confirmed that DOR could be directly targeted and regulated by miR-326. MiR-326 knockdown improved cell survival and decreased cell apoptosis by decreasing the expression levels of Caspase-3 and Bax and increasing Bcl-2 expression in PC12 cells after exposure to OGD. Moreover, DOR knockdown rescued the effect of the improved cell survival and suppressed cell apoptosis induced by silencing miR-326. Our findings indicated that inhibition of miR-326 may improve cell survival and decrease cell apoptosis in neonatal HIBD through the target gene DOR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE MicroRNAs are ribonucleic acids that are single-stranded and endogenous non-coding acids that regulate gene expression in later stages of the translation process by binding to genomic regulatory sites. miR146a is mostly involved in the regulation of inflammatory systems and another process that role in the innate immune system. In the present review, we have focused on the recent acquisitions about the main role played by mir146a in the control of the immune system and tumorigenesis. The main purpose of this review article is to systematically investigate the mir146a and its role in regulating signaling pathways involved in cancer and the immune system as well as its involved therapeutic methods. METHODS Systematic search of MEDLINE, Web of Science and Cochrane Library was conducted for all comparative studies from 2000 to 2019 with the limitations of the English language. RESULTS For a notable period of time, researchers have mainly focused on the therapeutic mechanisms of mir146a involved in the modulation of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory genes. We found that levels of mir146a expression were associated with cancer cell metastasis as a dual role (Inhibitory and stimulatory roles). The results of various studies also showed that this microRNA has a therapeutic role through its effects on other gene expressions such as NF-kB, SIRT1, TNF- α and IL-1β and leads to disease control. CONCLUSION Knowledge about alterations in mir146a regulation will give a better understanding of the molecular basis for various chronic inflammatory diseases and cancers.

Abstract
In the present study, we examined the function of microRNA (miR)-146a-5p in patients with refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. In brief, the expression of miR-146a-5p was reduced in patients with refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. Downregulation of miR-146a-5p reduced inflammation in an in vitro model of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia, whilst overexpression of miR-146a-5p promoted inflammation. Downregulation of miR-146a-5p induced the protein expression of ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 1 (ABCG1) and interleukin 1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK-1), while suppressed expression was observed of the aforementioned proteins following overexpression of miR-146a-5p in an in vitro model of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. The administration of small interfering RNA against RXR or IRAK-1 attenuated the effects of miR-146a-5p on inflammation in an in vitro model of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. Collectively, these results suggested that miR-146a-5p reduced ABCG1 expression in refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia via downregulation of IRAK-1.

Abstract
Cadmium is a common environmental and occupational pollutant and can produce toxic effects in a range of organs, especially in kidneys, after long-term exposure. MicroRNAs are ideal candidate biomarkers for various types of disorders, including renal diseases. In this study, we profiled the global miRNA expressions in rat kidneys using miRNA microarrays and found a collection of differentially expressed miRNAs induced by cadmium exposure. Among all of the candidate miRNAs, we identified miR-122-5p and miR-326-3p as early biomarkers for cadmium-induced nephrotoxicity. The two-miRNA signature was validated by quantitative real-time PCR in HK-2 and NRK-52E cells, rat kidney, serum and urine samples, and serum of an occupational population. Our results indicate that miR-122-5p and miR-326-3p may be potential biomarkers for cadmium exposure.

Abstract
Aim: Behcet's disease (BD) is a vasculitis. Lines of evidence suggest miRNAs as diagnostic and prognostic markers in autoimmune diseases. This study was designed to investigate the potential role of miR-21, miR-146b and miR-326 as biomarkers for diagnosis, predicting organs involvement and measuring BD activity. Patients & methods: In this cross-sectional study, the study groups consisted of 46 BD patients and 70 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers. The expression rates of three miRNAs were determined by quantitative real-time PCR. Results: Our results demonstrated significantly lower expression of miR-21 and miR-146b and higher expression of miR-326 in BD patients. MiR-21 expression rate in patients with severe eye involvement and miR-326 expression rate in patients with uveitis and severe eye involvement were increased. Conclusion: MiR-326 expression rate can be used as a biomarker for prediction of uveitis and severe eye involvement in patients with BD.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous mediators of RNA interference and have key roles in the modulation of gene expression under healthy, inflamed, stimulated, carcinogenic, or other cells, and tissues of a pathological state. Many studies have proved the association between miRNAs and cancer. The role of miR-326 as a tumor suppressor miRNA in much human cancer confirmed. We will explain the history and the role of miRNAs changes, especially miR-326 in cancers and other pathological conditions. Attuned with these facts, this review highlights recent preclinical and clinical research performed on miRNAs as novel promising diagnostic biomarkers of patients at early stages, prediction of prognosis, and monitoring of the patients in response to treatment. All related publications retrieved from the PubMed database, with keywords such as epigenetic, miRNA, microRNA, miR-326, cancer, diagnostic biomarker, and therapeutic target similar terms from 1899 to 2018 with limitations in the English language. Recently, researchers have focused on the impacts of miRNAs and their association in inflammatory, autoinflammatory, and cancerous conditions. Recent studies have suggested a major pathogenic role in cancers and autoinflammatory diseases. Investigations have explained the role of miRNAs in cancers, autoimmunity, and autoinflammatory diseases, and so on. The miRNA-326 expression has an important role in cancer conditions and other diseases.

Abstract
Baculoviral IAP repeat containing 5 (BIRC5) gene encodes the important protein as survivin, a multifunctional protein, which is involved in cellular and molecular networks, progression of cell cycle, homeostasis, developmental morphogenesis, and apoptosis. The proximal BIRC5 promoter possesses specific binding sites for key transcription factors such as nuclear factor κB and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3. Upregulation of survivin exacerbates the autoimmune diseases (AIDs) including multiple sclerosis and myasthenia gravis by reducing the activity threshold of survivin-specific cytotoxic T cells. DNA damage along with upregulation or downregulation of survivin have been demonstrated in initiation and pathogenesis of cancers and AIDs. However, detailed mechanism of survivin function in pathogenesis of AIDs is not well understood. This review focuses on the structure, specificity, regulation, and function of survivin in physiologic conditions and pathogenesis of AIDs.
