Identification of miRNA-mRNA Modules in Colorectal Cancer Using Rough Hypercuboid Based Supervised Clustering

چکیده
Differences in the expression profiles of miRNAs and mRNAs have been reported in colorectal cancer. Nevertheless, information on important miRNA-mRNA regulatory modules in colorectal cancer is still lacking. In this regard, this study presents an application of the RH-SAC algorithm on miRNA and mRNA expression data for identification of potential miRNA-mRNA modules. First, a set of miRNA rules was generated using the RH-SAC algorithm. The mRNA targets of the selected miRNAs were identified using the miRTarBase database. Next, the expression values of target mRNAs were used to generate mRNA rules using the RH-SAC. Then all miRNA-mRNA rules have been integrated for generating networks. The RH-SAC algorithm unlike other existing methods selects a group of co-expressed miRNAs and mRNAs that are also differentially expressed. In total 17 miRNAs and 141 mRNAs were selected. The enrichment analysis of selected mRNAs revealed that our method selected mRNAs that are significantly associated with colorectal cancer. We identified novel miRNA/mRNA interactions in colorectal cancer. Through experiment, we could confirm that one of our discovered miRNAs, hsa-miR-93-5p, was significantly up-regulated in 75.8% CRC in comparison to their corresponding non-tumor samples. It could have the potential to examine colorectal cancer subtype specific unique miRNA/mRNA interactions.

One of the main problems in real life omics data analysis is how to extract relevant and non-redundant features from high dimensional multimodal data sets. In general, supervised regularized canonical correlation analysis (SRCCA) plays an important role in extracting new features from multimodal omics data sets. However, the existing SRCCA optimizes regularization parameters based on the qualit...
