Identification of the miR-423-3p/VLDLR Regulatory Network for Glioma Using Transcriptome Analysis
Neurochemical research(2022)
Abstract
As the most prevalent primary CNS tumor, glioma is characterized by high mortality and morbidity. This research aims to investigate glioma-associated microRNAs (miRNAs) and their target mRNAs, as well as to explore their biological functions in gliomas. The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was applied to acquire the GSE112264 miRNA microarray dataset and the GSE15824 mRNA dataset. We selected samples from the GSE112264 dataset and the GSE15824 to identify differently expressed miRNAs (DE-miRNAs) as well as differentially expressed mRNAs (DEGs), respectively. Next, the intersections of mRNA and target mRNAs of miRNA were selected, and we constructed miRNA–mRNA regulation networks. These DEGs were selected for Gene Oncology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses by conducting the package clusterProfiler. After conducting Cytoscape software, a protein–protein interaction (PPI) network was created. Next, survival analysis of the miR-423-3p was confirmed by conducting TCGA database. Subsequently, Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was conducted to verify miR-423-3p’s expression. Finally, miR-423-3p’s biological functions of in effecting the cell proliferative, migratory, and invasive capabilities of glioma were investigated by performing Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and Transwell assays. Our analysis elucidated a novel miRNA–mRNA regulatory network related to glioma carcinogenesis, which may be considered as future therapeutic biomarkers for glioma.
