PURPOSE CRC (Colorectal cancer) is a lethal cancer for death worldwide and the underlying pathological mechanisms for CRC progression remain unclear. We aimed to explore the regulatory mechanism of CRC and provide novel biomarkers for CRC screening. METHODS Downloading from GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus) database, Microarray data GSE44861 were consisted of 111 colon tissues samples including 55 from adjacent noncancerous tissues and 56 from tumors tissues. After data pre-processing, up- and down regulated DEGs (differentially expressed genes) were identified using Bayes moderated t-test. Then DIVAD (Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery) was recruited to perform functional analysis for DEGs. Thereafter, PPI (protein-protein interaction) network was constructed by mapping DEGs into STRING (Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes) database. Further, PPI modules were constructed and the protein domains of DEGs in the modules were analyzed. Moreover, miRNA regulatory network was established through GSEA (gene set enrichment analysis) method. RESULTS In summary, 96 up- and 212 down-regulated DEGs were identified. Totally, ten DEGs with high degrees in the constructed PPI network were selected, in which COLL1A1, PTGS2 and ASPN were also identified as crucial genes in PPI modules. Furthermore, COLL1A1 was predicted to be targeted by miR-29, while PTGS2 and ASPN were both predicted to be regulated by miR-101 and miR-26. CONCLUSION COL11A1 might involve in the progression of CRC via being targeted by miR-29, whereas PTGS2 and ASPN were both regulated by miR-101 and miR-26. Moreover, ASPN may be supposed as a novel biomarker for CRC detection and prevention.

A review on miRNAs as new biomarkers for colorectal cancer

Background & Objective: Since colorectal cancer does not often have phenotypic symptoms in the early stages, the study of biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of the tumor is very important. MicroRNAs are one of the most important biomarkers which attract the attention of many researchers due to a variety of reasons, including their non-invasive nature; these molecules are a group of non-...

نقش microRNA-21 در سرطان کولورکتال و قابلیت آن به عنوان یک بیومارکر پیش بینی کننده، تشخیصی و پیش آگهی: مقاله مروری

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common types of cancers worldwide. Despite the improved therapeutic and diagnostic strategies and screening programs, morbidity and mortality of CRC is still considerable. Currently, most common approaches for diagnosis of CRC are colonoscopy and fecal occult blood test (FOBT). Because of the invasive nature of colonoscopy and low sensitivity of FOBT, ...

Altered expression of Lnc-OC1 and SIRT1 genes in colorectal cancer tissue

Backgrounds: SIRT1 plays an important role in many physiological processes, including metabolism, neuronal protection, senecence and inflammatory, by staging histones and multiple transcription factors. However, the complex mechanisms of SIRT1 signaling in tumors are not yet fully understood, as it acts as both an oncogen and a tumor suppressor. On the other hand, it has been shown that the Lnc...

Bioinformatics identification of miRNA-mRNA regulatory network contributing to lung cancer invasion

Background: Over the past 15 years, significant insights have been gained into the roles of miRNAs in cancer. In various cancers, miRNAs can act as oncogenes, tumor suppressors, or control the metastasis process by modulating the expression of numerous target genes. This study is aimed at determining molecular network of miRNA-mRNA regulating lung cancer invasion, by bioinformatics approaches. ...
