In Silico Study of Expression Profiles Correlation between MicroRNAs and Cancerous Genes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the possibility that microRNA can act as an oncogene or tumor suppressor gene. Experimentally verified microRNA target genes information (TarBase) are integrated with microRNA and mRNA expression data (NCI-60) to study this hypothesis, in which the Pearson correlation and Spearman rank coefficients are used to quantify these relations for nine cancer types. Correlation coefficients with negative values are used to filter out microRNA targets. Biological annotations of the targets are supplied by using the TAG, GO and KEGG records. The above information are utilized to provide a platform in identifying potential cancer related microRNAs. A web based interface is set up for information query and data display.

Background and Objective: Tamoxifen is the most commonly used treatment for the patients with breast cancer called ER +, which prevents the expression of genes that are effective in the growth and proliferation of cancer cells by estrogen. Resistant to Tamoxifen is a major clinical problem in breast cancer treatment. In recent studies, the role of microRNAs in tamoxifen resistance has been rais...
متن کاملIn silico identification of miRNAs and their target genes and analysis of gene co-expression network in saffron (Crocus sativus L.) stigma
As an aromatic and colorful plant of substantive taste, saffron (Crocus sativus L.) owes such properties of matter to growing class of the secondary metabolites derived from the carotenoids, apocarotenoids. Regarding the critical role of microRNAs in secondary metabolic synthesis and the limited number of identified miRNAs in C. sativus, on the other hand, one may see the point how the characte...

Background: To screen and diagnose patients with recurrent abortions and implantation failure after IVF/ICSI, differentially expressed genes of endometrium through DNA microarrays were monitored. Materials and Methods: Microarray expression profile of GSE26787 dataset from GEO database was used to analyze gene expression profiles of 15 endometrial biopsy samples- five from control fertile (CF) ...

Background & Aims: Cancer is a genetic disease that results from mutations in genes that control cell activities. Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancers in men. Surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, and chemotherapy are used to treat this disease. These treatments have numerous side effects after treatment, including impotence along with the high cost of treatment. In...

Invasive aspergillosis is a severe opportunistic infection with high mortality in immunocompromised patients. Recently, the roles of microRNAs have been taken into consideration in the immune system and inflammatory responses. Using bioinformatics approaches, we aimed to study the microRNAs related to invasive aspergillosis to understand the molecular pathways involved in the disease pathogenes...
