Comprehensive microRNA expression analysis of pediatric gonadal germ cell tumors: unveiling novel biomarkers and signatures

microRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous noncoding RNAs, and alterations in their expression may contribute to oncogenesis. Discovering a unique miRNA pattern holds the potential for early detection and novel treatment possibilities in cancer. This study aimed to evaluate miRNA expression in pediatric patients with gonadal germ cell tumors (GCTs), focusing on characterizing the miRNA profiles of each histological subtype and identifying a distinct histological miRNA signature for a total of 42 samples of pediatric gonadal GCTs. The analysis revealed distinct miRNA expression profiles for all histological types, regardless of the primary site. We identified specific miRNA expression signatures for each histological type, including 34 miRNAs for dysgerminomas, 13 for embryonal carcinomas, 25 for yolk sac tumors, and one for immature teratoma, compared to healthy controls. Furthermore, we identified 26 miRNAs that were commonly expressed in malignant tumors, with six miRNAs (miR-302a-3p, miR-302b-3p, miR-371a-5p, miR-372-3p, miR-373-3p, and miR-367-3p) showing significant overexpression. Notably, miR-302b-3p exhibited a significant association with all the evaluated clinical features. Our findings suggest that miRNAs have the potential to aid in the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of patients with malignant GCTs.

Identification of differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs associated with the regulation of breast cancer via in silico and in vitro methods

miRNA expressions are altered during development of breast cancer (BC). The aim of this study is to identify novel cancer-related miRNAs and pathways to understand the mechanisms of BC subtypes. GSE59247 dataset was downloaded from gene expression omnibus (GEO) database and analyzed with GEO2R software. The differential miRNA expressions in BC cells were evaluated by miRNome PCR array. Venn diagram was used to reveal co-differentially expressed miRNAs between GSE59247 dataset and miRNome array. Clinical prognostic significance of selected miRNAs was evaluated via Kaplan Meier curve. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis was performed to find miRNA targets and results were validated by TNM plot analysis and q-RT-PCR. TargetScan database was used to predict the association of miRNAs and 3'-untranslated regions of target genes and their expressions were visualized by human protein atlas database. Venn diagram analysis showed overlap of 11 miRNAs from in silico and in vitro analysis. KEGG analysis revealed 'Lysine Degradation Pathway' as the most significantly enriched targeted pathway. q-RT-PCR results confirmed that Lysine degradation pathway related genes SETD7, SETDB2, EHHADH, SETMAR, KMT2A and SUV39H2 were differentially expressed in BC cells. Target prediction analysis identified binding sites between miR-1323-5p and 3'-UTR of SETD7, miR-129-5p and 3'-UTR of EHHADH and miR-628-5p and 3'-UTR of SETDB2 mRNA. Notably, miR-1323-5p, miR-129-5p, and miR-628-5p are differentially expressed in BC and they bind to 3'UTR of critical genes of Lysine degradation pathway, namely SETD7, SETDB2 and EHHADH. These miRNAs might serve as potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for progression.

The significance of the crosstalk between ubiquitination or deubiquitination and ncRNAs in non-small cell lung cancer

Lung cancer (LC) remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with extremely high morbidity and mortality rates. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most critical type of LC. It seriously threatens the life and health of patients because of its early metastasis, late clinical symptoms, limited early screening methods, and poor treatment outcomes. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), participate in cell proliferation, metastasis, and chemoresistance. Several previous studies have proven that ncRNAs are vital regulators of tumorigenesis. Ubiquitination plays the most crucial role in protein post-translational modification (PTM). Deubiquitination and ubiquitination form a homeostasis. In summary, ubiquitination and deubiquitination play essential roles in mediating the degradation or overexpression of a range of crucial proteins in various cancers. A growing number of researchers have found that interactions between ncRNAs and ubiquitination (or deubiquitination) play a crucial role in NSCLC. This review presents several typical examples of the important effects of ncRNAs and ubiquitination (or deubiquitination) in NSCLC, aiming to provide more creative ideas for exploring the diagnosis and treatment of NSCLC.

Long non-coding RNA ZNFX1 antisense 1 (ZFAS1) suppresses anti-oxidative stress in chondrocytes during osteoarthritis by sponging microRNA-1323

LncRNAs play a regulatory role in osteoarthritis (OA); however, the detailed mechanism remains to be elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the role of lncRNA zinc finger NFX1-type containing 1 (ZNFX1) antisense 1 (ZFAS1) in OA progression and explore its possible mechanismsagainst oxidative stress. Human cartilage specimens were obtained from 10 patients without OA who underwent traumatic amputation and 25 patients with OA who underwent total knee replacement surgery. Chondrocytes were prepared from harvested articular cartilage. ZFAS1, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) expression levels were analyzed using quantitative reverse transcription PCR and WB. The chondrocyte growth was indicated by MTT and colony formation assays. Chondrocyte apoptosis, reactive oxygen species generation, and anti-oxidative enzymes activities were also measured. ZFAS1 expression was reduced in OA samples and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated chondrocytes used as an OA cell model mimic. ZFAS1 overexpression facilitated proliferation and repressed oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis in LPS-induced chondrocytes. ZFAS1 also activated the anti-oxidative Nrf2-HO-1 pathway. ZFAS1 directly targeted miR-1323, which partially reversed the effects of ZFAS1 on chondrocyte proliferation, oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. Furthermore, Nrf2 was negatively regulated by miR-1323. The effect of miR-1323 inhibition was partly abrogated by the administration of brusatol, an Nrf2 inhibitor. Collectively, the results showed that ZFAS1 promoted chondrocyte proliferation and repressed oxidative stress, possibly by regulating the novel miR-1323-Nrf2 axis of the inflammation and apoptosis triggered by LPS, indicating that ZFAS1 is a promising therapeutic target for OA.

C1QTNF6 Targeted by MiR-184 Regulates the Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion of Lung Adenocarcinoma Cells

OBJECTIVE

To seek out the mechanism by which C1QTNF6 mediates lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).

METHODS

Differentially expressed mRNAs and miRNAs in LUAD were analyzed using bioinformatics. In LUAD cells, C1QTNF6 mRNA and miR-184 expression were evaluated with qRT-PCR, and C1QTNF6 protein level was assessed by western blot. Cellular behaviors were assessed by colony formation, CCK-8, Transwell, and wound healing methods. The binding ability of miR-184 to C1QTNF6 was observed by dual-luciferase assay.

RESULTS

High expression of C1QTNF6 in LUAD stimulated cancer cellular behaviors. MiR-184 was lowly expressed in LUAD and downregulated C1QTNF6 expression. MiR-184 restrained LUAD cell processes by targeting C1QTNF6.

CONCLUSION

MiR-184 repressed LUAD cell processes via mediating C1QTNF6. MiR-184 and C1QTNF6 are expected to be indicators for LUAD treatment.

Circ_0030998 Restrains Cisplatin Resistance Through Mediating miR-1323/PDCD4 Axis in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

We aimed to explore the underlying mechanism behind the cisplatin (DDP) resistance of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells to identify novel potential therapeutic targets to overcome chemoresistance. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot assay were applied to analyze RNA and protein expression, respectively. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assay was conducted to analyze the DDP resistance of NSCLC cells. Colony formation assay and 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay were performed to analyze cell proliferation ability. Flow cytometry was applied to assess cell apoptosis. Cell migration and invasion were assessed by transwell assays. Cell glycolytic metabolism was analyzed using commercial kits. Dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay were performed to test the intermolecular target relations. Circular RNA_0030998 (circ_0030998) was down-regulated in DDP-resistant NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Circ_0030998 overexpression restrained the DDP resistance, proliferation, migration, invasion and glycolytic metabolism and triggered the apoptosis of NSCLC cells. Circ_0030998 overexpression contributed to the anti-tumor effect of DDP in the growth of xenograft tumor in vivo. MicroRNA-1323 (miR-1323) was a molecular target of circ_0030998 in NSCLC cells. Circ_0030998 overexpression-mediated effects on the DDP resistance and malignant properties of NSCLC cells were largely based on its negative regulation of miR-1323. MiR-1323 interacted with programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4). Circ_0030998 positively regulated PDCD4 expression partly through sponging miR-1323. MiR-1323 silencing restrained DDP resistance and progression of NSCLC partly through up-regulating PDCD4. Circ_0030998 suppressed DDP resistance and NSCLC progression depending on the regulation of miR-1323/PDCD4 axis.

Exosome-Mediated Transfer of miR-1323 from Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Confers Radioresistance of C33A Cells by Targeting PABPN1 and Activating Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway in Cervical Cancer

Plenty of pieces of evidence suggest that the resistance to radiotherapy greatly influences the therapeutic effect in cervical cancer (CCa). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to regulate cellular processes by acting as tumor suppressors or promoters, thereby driving radioresistance or radiosensitivity. Meanwhile, it has been reported that microRNA-1323 (miR-1323) widely participates in cancer progression and radiotherapy effects. However, the role of miR-1323 is still not clear in CCa. Hence, in this study, we are going to investigate the molecular mechanism of miR-1323 in CCa cells. In the beginning, miR-1323 was found aberrantly upregulated in CCa cells via RT-qPCR assay. Functional assays indicated that miR-1323 was transferred by cancer-associated fibroblasts-secreted (CAFs-secreted) exosomes and miR-1323 downregulation suppressed cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and increased cell radiosensitivity in CCa. Mechanism assays demonstrated that miR-1323 targeted poly(A)-binding protein nuclear 1 (PABPN1). Besides, PABPN1 recruited insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) to regulate glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK-3β) and influenced Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Therefore, rescue experiments were implemented to validate that PABPN1 overexpression rescued the inhibited cancer development and radioresistance induced by the miR-1323 inhibitor. In conclusion, miR-1323 was involved in CCa progression and radioresistance which might provide a novel insight for CCa treatment.

MicroRNA miR-3646 promotes malignancy of lung adenocarcinoma cells by suppressing sorbin and SH3 domain-containing protein 1 via the c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase signaling pathway

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a highly malignant tumor. In this study, we examined the role of miR-3646 and its underlying mechanism in the progression of LUAD. The expression of miR-3646 and sorbin and SH3 domain-containing protein 1 (SORBS1) in LUAD tissues and cells was evaluated by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. LUAD cell adhesion, proliferation, apoptosis was determined. The targeting relationship between SORBS1 and miR-3646 was verified by dual luciferase and RNA pull-down assays. In vivo assays were performed to verify the in vitro results. The expression of miR-3646 was found to be upregulated in LUAD tissues and cells. MiR-3646 overexpression stimulated the proliferation and adhesion of LUAD cells but inhibite d apoptosis, whereas a miR-3646 inhibitor produced the opposite results. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of miR-3646 inhibitor was verified in vivo. SORBS1, a target gene identified downstream of miR-3646, was downregulated in LUAD tissues and cells. Additionally, increased SORBS1 inhibited the malignant phenotypes of LUAD cells, which was restored by miR-3646 upregulation. Additionally, western blot analysis revealed that SORBS1 ectopic expression disrupted the JNK signaling pathway, and this effect was restored by miR-3646 overexpression. Thus, this study revealed that miR-3646 promotes LUAD cell proliferation and adhesion, and reduces apoptosis by directly downregulating SORBS1 via the JNK signaling pathway. Investigation of the molecular mechanism of LUAD carcinogenesis revealed that miR-3646 may serve as a biomarker for LUAD treatment.in vivo

Prediction of Mechanosensitive Genes in Vascular Endothelial Cells Under High Wall Shear Stress

Objective: The vulnerability of atherosclerotic plaques is among the leading cause of ischemic stroke. High wall shear stress (WSS) promotes the instability of atherosclerotic plaques by directly imparting mechanical stimuli, but the specific mechanisms remain unclear. We speculate that modulation of mechanosensitive genes may play a vital role in accelerating the development of plaques. The purpose of this study was to find mechanosensitive genes in vascular endothelial cells (ECs) through combining microarray data with bioinformatics technology and further explore the underlying dynamics–related mechanisms that cause the progression and destabilization of atherosclerotic plaques.

Methods: Microarray data sets for human vascular ECs under high and normal WSS were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified through the R language. The performance of enrichment analysis and protein–protein interaction (PPI) network presented the biological function and signaling pathways of the DEGs. Hub genes were identified based on the PPI network and validated by GEO data sets. Predicted transcription factor (TF) genes and miRNAs interaction with potential mechanosensitive genes were identified by NetworkAnalyst.

Results: A total of 260 DEGs, 121 upregulated and 139 downregulated genes, were screened between high and normal WSS from GSE23289. A total of 10 hub genes and four cluster modules were filtered out based on the PPI network. The enrichment analysis showed that the biological functions of the hub genes were mainly involved in responses to unfolded protein and topologically incorrect protein, and t to endoplasmic reticulum stress. The significant pathways associated with the hub genes were those of protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, antigen processing, and presentation. Three out of the 10 hub genes, namely, activated transcription factor 3 (ATF3), heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 6 (HSPA6), and dual specificity phosphatase 1 (DUSP1, also known as CL100, HVH1, MKP-1, PTPN10), were verified in GSE13712. The expression of DUSP1 was higher in the senescent cell under high WSS than that of the young cell. The TF–miRNA–mechanosensitive gene coregulatory network was constructed.

Conclusion: In this work, we identified three hub genes, ATF3, HSPA6, and DUSP1, as the potential mechanosensitive genes in the human blood vessels. DUSP1 was confirmed to be associated with the senescence of vascular ECs. Therefore, these three mechanosensitive genes may have emerged as potential novel targets for the prediction and prevention of ischemic stroke. Furthermore, the TF–miRNA–mechanosensitive genes coregulatory network reveals an underlying regulatory mechanism and the pathways to control disease progression.

Computational Learning of microRNA-Based Prediction of Pouchitis Outcome After Restorative Proctocolectomy in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis

BACKGROUND

Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the standard of care after total proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis (UC). However, inflammation often develops in the pouch, leading to acute or recurrent/chronic pouchitis (R/CP). MicroRNAs (miRNA) are used as accurate diagnostic and predictive biomarkers in many human diseases, including inflammatory bowel diseases. Therefore, we aimed to identify an miRNA-based biomarker to predict the occurrence of R/CP in patients with UC after colectomy and IPAA.

METHODS

We conducted a retrospective study in 3 tertiary centers in France. We included patients with UC who had undergone IPAA with or without subsequent R/CP. Paraffin-embedded biopsies collected from the terminal ileum during the proctocolectomy procedure were used for microarray analysis of miRNA expression profiles. Deep neural network-based classifiers were used to identify biomarkers predicting R/CP using miRNA expression and relevant biological and clinical factors in a discovery cohort of 29 patients. The classification algorithm was tested in an independent validation cohort of 28 patients.

RESULTS

A combination of 11 miRNA expression profiles and 3 biological/clinical factors predicted the outcome of R/CP with 88% accuracy (area under the curve = 0.94) in the discovery cohort. The performance of the classification algorithm was confirmed in the validation cohort with 88% accuracy (area under the curve = 0.90). Apoptosis, cytoskeletal regulation by Rho GTPase, and fibroblast growth factor signaling were the most dysregulated targets of the 11 selected miRNAs.

CONCLUSIONS

We developed and validated a computational miRNA-based algorithm for accurately predicting R/CP in patients with UC after IPAA.

miR-4284 Promotes Cell Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells and is Associated with Postoperative Prognosis

PURPOSE

MicroRNA-4284 (miR-4284) was demonstrated to be aberrantly expressed and affected cell activities in some types of diseases, including cancer. However, the role of miR-4284 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is largely unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression and biological role of miR-4284 in NSCLC.

PATIENTS AND METHODS

The qRT-PCR assay was applied to detect the expression of miR-4284 in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Kaplan-Meier curve method and multiple Cox regression analyses were used to explore the prognostic factors for postoperative NSCLC patients. The CCK-8 assay was carried out to measure the proliferative abilities of A549 and H1299 cells. Transwell migration and invasion assays were used to determine the cell migratory and invasive capabilities of NSCLC cells.

RESULTS

miR-4284 expression was upregulated in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. High expression of miR-4284 was correlated with poor differentiation, positive lymph node metastasis, and advanced TNM stages. In addition, postoperative patients with higher expression of miR-4284 exhibited a shorter overall survival time than those with lower expression of miR-4284. Moreover, the upregulation of miR-4284 accelerated cell proliferative, migratory, and invasive abilities of A549 and H1299 cells, while the downregulation of miR-4284 inhibited these cellular capabilities.

CONCLUSION

miR-4284 was noticeably upregulated in NSCLC and associated with a poor prognosis of postoperative NSCLC patients. miR-4284 promoted the proliferation, migration, and invasion of A549 and H1299 cells. This study indicated that miR-4284 might serve as a prognostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for postoperative NSCLC patients.

MicroRNA‑592 promotes cell proliferation, migration and invasion in colorectal cancer by directly targeting SPARC

Colorectal cancer (CRC), one of the most common cancer types, causes a large number of cancer-related mortalities annually worldwide. Dysregulated microRNAs (miRNAs/miR) are closely associated with the malignant progression of CRC. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the expression and regulatory role of miR-592 in CRC. It was found that miR-592 expression was significantly elevated in CRC tissues and cell lines, and was associated with the prognosis of patients. Cellular phenotype assays demonstrated that miR-592 could promote CRC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Bioinformatics analysis demonstrated that miR-592 mainly participated in the positive regulation of transcription, as well as the regulation of cell motility. Moreover, miR-592 targets were enriched in several signaling pathways, such as the ‘mTOR’ and ‘FoxO’ signaling pathways. In addition, secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) was identified as a target of miR-592 in CRC. The present results suggested that miR-592 acts as an oncogene in CRC, in part, by directly inhibiting SPARC expression. Collectively, the present study provides a novel potential therapeutic strategy for CRC.

MicroRNA-1323 serves as a biomarker in gestational diabetes mellitus and aggravates high glucose-induced inhibition of trophoblast cell viability by suppressing TP53INP1

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) leads to poor pregnancy outcomes, and microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) have been suggested to be associated with GDM, but the pathological mechanisms remain unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of miR-1323 in GDM patients and its effects on trophoblast cell viability. Additionally, the present study investigated the correlation between miR-1323 and TP53INP1 to understand the pathological mechanism of GDM progression. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the miR-1323 expression and TP53INP1 mRNA expression. The diagnostic value of serum miR-1323 was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic analysis. HTR-8/SVneo and BeWo cells were treated with high glucose (HG) to construct cell models of GDM, and trophoblast cell viability was assessed using an MTT assay. The protein expression of TP53INP1 was detected by western blot analysis. The correlation between miR-1323 and TP53INP1 was investigated by luciferase reporter assay. The miR-1323 expression was increased in patients with GDM, which had relatively high diagnostic accuracy for GDM screening and was positively correlated with fasting blood glucose in patients GDM. HG upregulated the miR-1323 expression and inhibited trophoblast cell viability. Overexpression of miR-1323 significantly inhibited the viability of HG-induced trophoblast cells. TP53INP1, a target gene of miR-1323, was negatively correlated with miR-1323. TP53INP1 overexpression reversed the inhibitory effect of miR-1323 overexpression on the viability of HG-treated trophoblast cells. Increased levels of serum miR-1323 may be a diagnostic biomarker for GDM. Additionally, miR-1323 may inhibit trophoblast cell viability by inhibiting TP53INP1, suggesting that it may be a potential therapeutic target for GDM.

E3 ubiquitin ligase Casitas B lineage lymphoma-b and its potential therapeutic implications for immunotherapy

The distinction of self from non-self is crucial to prevent autoreactivity and ensure protection from infectious agents and tumors. Maintaining the balance between immunity and tolerance of immune cells is strongly controlled by several sophisticated regulatory mechanisms of the immune system. Among these, the E3 ligase ubiquitin Casitas B cell lymphoma-b (Cbl-b) is a newly identified component in the ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation system, which is thought to be an important negative regulator of immune cells. An update on the current knowledge and new concepts of the relevant immune homeostasis program co-ordinated by Cbl-b in different cell populations could pave the way for future immunomodulatory therapies of various diseases, such as autoimmune and allergic diseases, infections, cancers and other immunopathological conditions. In the present review, the latest findings are comprehensively summarized on the molecular structural basis of Cbl-b and the suppressive signaling mechanisms of Cbl-b in physiological and pathological immune responses, as well as its emerging potential therapeutic implications for immunotherapy in animal models and human diseases.

Hsa-let-7c exerts an anti-tumor function by negatively regulating ANP32E in lung adenocarcinoma

We attempted to investigate the relationship between hsa-let-7c and ANP32E, as well as their influence on the cells phenotype of lung adenocarcinoma. Expression of hsa-let-7c and prognostic values were assessed by bioinformatics analysis based on TCGA database. Quantitative real-time PCR and western blot was employed to measure relative expression of hsa-let-7c or ANP32E. The targeting relationship between let-7c and ANP32E was predicted by biological software and validated by dual luciferase reporter assay. With gene transfection technology, cell proliferation, invasion and migration were appraised by cell counting Kit-8, clone formation and Transwell assays. The results showed that hsa-let-7c was downregulated in lung adenocarcinoma. Downregulation of hsa-let-7c notably led to a poor survival. ANP32E was forecasted and confirmed as a directly target of hsa-let-7c, and was upregulated in lung adenocarcinoma. Furthermore, upregulation of ANP32E had a significant correlation with unsatisfactory survival. Meanwhile, the levels of ANP32E were negatively regulated by hsa-let-7c. Upregulation of hsa-let-7c remarkably suppressed the Calu-3 cell proliferation, invasion and migration, while ANP32E overexpression plasmids rescued the downtrend. Inversely, hsa-let-7c silencing in NCI-H209 cells presented the opposite outcomes. Collectively, hsa-let-7c shows an anti-tumor effect in lung adenocarcinoma by targeting ANP32E and is expected to be a potential therapeutic target for lung adenocarcinoma.

Comprehensive analysis of TPX2-related ceRNA network as prognostic biomarkers in lung adenocarcinoma

Background and aim: Competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) is believed to play vital roles in tumorigenesis. The goal of this study was to screen prognostic biomarkers in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Methods: Common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were collected from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases and The Cancer Genome Atlas databases (TCGA) using GEO2R and "limma" package in R, respectively. Overlapping DEGs were conducted using enrichment of functions and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network to discover significant candidate genes. By using a comprehensive analysis, we constructed an mRNA mediated ceRNA network. Survival rates were used Kaplan-Meier analysis. Statistical analysis was used to further identify the prognosis of studied genes. Results: Integrated analysis of GSE32863 and TCGA databases, a total of 886 overlapping DEGs, including 279 up-regulated and 607 down-regulated genes were identified. Considering the highest term of candidate genes in PPI, we identified TPX2, which was enriched in cell division signaling pathway. Besides, 35 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) were predicted to target TPX2 and only 7 DEmiRNAs were identified to be prognostic biomarkers in LUAD. Then, 30 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) were predicted to bind these 7 DEmiRNAs. Finally, we found that 7 DElncRNAs were correlated with the overall survival (all p <0.05). Furthermore, we identified elevated TPX2 was strongly correlated with the worse survival rate among 458 samples. Univariate and multivariate cox analysis showed TPX2 may act as an independent factor for prognosis in LUAD (p <0.05). Then pathway enrichment results suggested that TPX2 may facilitate tumorigenesis by participating in several cancer-related signaling pathways in LUAD, especially in Notch signal pathway. Conclusions: TPX2-related lncRNAs and miRNAs are related to the survival of LUAD. 7 lncRNAs, 7 miRNAs and TPX2 may serve as prognostic biomarkers in LUAD.
