Title: A Novel LncRNA-miRNA-mRNA Triple Network Identifies LncRNA RP11-363E7.4 as An Important Regulator of miRNA and Gene Expression in Gastric Cancer. Author: Wang P, Li J, Zhao W, Shang C, Jiang X, Wang Y, Zhou B, Bao F, Qiao H. Journal: Cell Physiol Biochem; 2018; 47(3):1025-1041. PubMed ID: 29843141. Abstract: BACKGROUND/AIMS: Recent evidence has shown that some long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in various biological processes. However, the regulatory mechanism of lncRNA in gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear. METHODS: We reannotated the GC gene expression profile into a lncRNA-mRNA biphasic profile and integrated the microRNA target data to construct a global GC triple network. A further clustering and random walk with restart analyses was performed on the triple network from the level of topology analyses. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to determine expression of lncRNA RP11-363E7.4. Kaplan-Meier analyses was performed to evaluate the prognostic value of lncRNA RP11-363E7.4. RESULTS: We constructed a gastric cancer lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network (GCLMN) including six lncRNAs, 332 mRNAs, and 3,707 edges. For the shared lncRNA RP11-363E7.4, the interacting gene and microRNA functional enrichment studies implied that lncRNA RP11-363E7.4 might function as a new regulator in GC. The expression of lncRNA RP11-363E7.4 was downregulated compared with that of paracarcinoma tissues in five GC samples. High expression of lncRNA RP11-363E7.4 was found to be correlated to better overall survival (OS) for GC patients. CONCLUSIONS: This study focused on GC lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks, and found that lncRNA RP11-363E7.4 was a new GC risk lncRNA, which might provide novel insight into a better understanding of the pathogenesis of GC.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
