Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a major human pathogenic bacterium that survives in the gastric mucosa. The aim of this study is to evaluate the expression of the target gene network of miR-155-5p in H. pylori-related gastritis using a combination of public gene expression datasets and web-based platforms. To evaluate the expression of genes related to gastritis, we used two datasets from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Then, we determined the overlaps between the predicted miR-155-5p target genes and gastritis-dysregulated GEO datasets genes; in the next step, we identified the possible miR-155-5p target-DEGs (Target-Differentially Expressed Genes). Also, we performed multiple bioinformatics analyses to identify the most important targets and downstream pathways associated with this miRNA. Using the UCSC cancer genomic browser analysis tool, we investigated the expression of hub genes in relation to gastric cancer and H. pylori infection, as well as the potential role of hub genes in gastritis, inflammation, and cancer. In this regard, 28 differentially expressed target genes of miR-155-5p were identified. Most of the captured target genes were correlated with the host immune response and inflammation. Based on the specific patterns of expression in gastritis and cancer, CD9, MST1R, and ADAM10 were candidates for the most probable targets of miR-155-5p. Although the focus of this study is primarily on bioinformatics, we think that our findings should be experimentally validated before they can be used as potential therapeutic and diagnostic tools.
幽门螺杆菌(H. pylori)是一种主要寄生于胃黏膜的人类致病细菌。本研究旨在结合公共基因表达数据集和基于网络的平台,评估miR-155-5p靶基因网络在幽门螺杆菌相关性胃炎中的表达。为了评估与胃炎相关的基因表达,我们使用了来自基因表达综合数据库(GEO)的两个数据集。然后,我们确定了预测的miR-155-5p靶基因与胃炎失调的GEO数据集基因之间的重叠;下一步,我们鉴定了可能的miR-155-5p靶标差异表达基因(Target-Differentially Expressed Genes)。此外,我们进行了多项生物信息学分析,以确定与该微小RNA相关的最重要靶标和下游途径。使用加州大学圣克鲁兹分校癌症基因组浏览器分析工具,我们研究了枢纽基因在胃癌和幽门螺杆菌感染中的表达,以及枢纽基因在胃炎、炎症和癌症中的潜在作用。在这方面,我们鉴定出了28个miR-155-5p的差异表达靶基因。大多数捕获的靶基因与宿主免疫反应和炎症相关。基于胃炎和癌症中的特定表达模式,CD9、MST1R和ADAM10是miR-155-5p最可能靶标的候选基因。尽管本研究主要聚焦于生物信息学,但我们认为在将我们的发现用作潜在的治疗和诊断工具之前,应进行实验验证。
