OBJECTIVE: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a vital role in the development of ovarian cancer (OC). The aim of this study to investigate the prognostic value and potential signaling pathways of hsa-miR-9-5p (miR-9) in OC through literature review and bioinformatics methods. METHODS: The expression of miR-9 in OC was assessed using the public datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. And a literature review was also performed to investigate the correlation between miR-9 expression and the OC prognosis. Two mRNA datasets (GSE18520 and GSE36668) of OC tissues and normal ovarian tissues (NOTs) were downloaded from GEO to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The target genes of hsa-miR-9-5p (TG-miR-9-5p) were predicted using miRWALK3.0 and TargetScan. Then the gene overlaps between DEGs in OC and the predicted TG-miR-9-5p were confirmed using a Venn diagram. After that, overlapping genes were subjected to Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. Finally, a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using STRING and Cytoscape, and the impact of hub genes on OC prognosis was analyzed. RESULTS: It was found that OC patients with miR-9 low expression had poor prognosis. A total of 107 DEGs related to both OC and miR-9 were identified. Dozens of DEGs were enriched in developmental process, extracellular matrix structural constituent, cell junction, axon guidance. In the PPI network analysis, 5 of the top 10 hub genes was significantly associated with decreased overall survival of OC patients, namely FBN1 (HR = 1.64, P < 0.05), PRRX1 (HR = 1.76, P < 0.05), SMC2 (HR = 1.22, P < 0.05), SMC4 (HR = 1.31, P < 0.05), and VCAN (HR = 1.48, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Low expression of miR-9 indicates poor prognosis of OC patients. MiR-9 plays a crucial role in the biological process of OC by binding to target genes, thus affecting the prognosis of patients.
目的:微小 RNA(miRNA)在卵巢癌(OC)的发展中起着至关重要的作用。本研究通过文献回顾和生物信息学方法,探讨 hsa-miR-9-5p(miR-9)在 OC 中的预后价值和潜在信号通路。
方法:使用基因表达综合数据库(GEO)公共数据集评估 miR-9 在 OC 中的表达。并进行文献复习,探讨 miR-9 表达与 OC 预后的相关性。从 GEO 下载两个 OC 组织和正常卵巢组织(NOT)的 mRNA 数据集(GSE18520 和 GSE36668),以鉴定差异表达基因(DEGs)。使用 miRWALK3.0 和 TargetScan 预测 hsa-miR-9-5p 的靶基因(TG-miR-9-5p)。然后使用 Venn 图确认 OC 中的 DEGs 与预测的 TG-miR-9-5p 之间的基因重叠。之后,对重叠基因进行基因本体论(GO)富集分析和京都基因与基因组百科全书(KEGG)通路分析。最后,使用 STRING 和 Cytoscape 构建蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用(PPI)网络,并分析关键基因对 OC 预后的影响。
结果:发现 miR-9 低表达的 OC 患者预后不良。共鉴定出 107 个与 OC 和 miR-9 相关的 DEGs。数十个 DEGs 富集在发育过程、细胞外基质结构成分、细胞连接、轴突导向等过程中。在 PPI 网络分析中,前 10 个 hub 基因中有 5 个与 OC 患者总生存率降低显著相关,即 FBN1(HR=1.64,P<0.05)、PRRX1(HR=1.76,P<0.05)、SMC2(HR=1.22,P<0.05)、SMC4(HR=1.31,P<0.05)和 VCAN(HR=1.48,P<0.05)。
结论:miR-9 的低表达预示着 OC 患者预后不良。miR-9 通过与靶基因结合在 OC 的生物学过程中发挥关键作用,从而影响患者的预后。
