      摘 要:[目的] 探讨肝细胞癌(hepatocellular carcinoma,HCC)组织中miR-621的表达及其临床意义,并对miR-621靶基因进行系统的生物信息学分析。[方法] 基于GEO(Gene Expression Omnibus)和TCGA(The Cancer Genome Atlas)数据库,比较HCC组织和癌旁组织中miR-621表达量,并分析miR-621表达与HCC患者临床病理特征及预后的相关性。利用生物信息学方法对miR-621的靶基因进行预测及功能富集分析,并结合蛋白互作网络及预后分析结果筛选miR-621关键靶基因。[结果] miR-621在HCC组织中较癌旁组织低表达(P<0.05)。HCC组织中miR-621表达量与患者TNM分期、肿瘤分化程度以及血清甲胎蛋白(AFP)等指标显著相关(P均<0.05)。生存分析显示HCC组织中miR-621低表达是影响患者预后的独立危险因素(P<0.05)。富集分析提示miR-621的靶基因主要富集于细胞黏附、氨基酸跨膜运输、钙离子结合等功能,以及MAPK、细胞周期等信号通路。AURKA、CDC25A、ESPL1、GINS2、KIF20B、MCM5、NUSAP1、OIP5等为miR-621关键靶基因,其在HCC组织中均呈现表达上调,且相对高表达者预后不良(P均<0.05)。[结论] miR-621可作为一种抑癌基因参与HCC的发生、发展,并具有成为HCC诊断标志物、预后指标及治疗靶点的潜在价值。
英文摘要:
      Abstract:[Objective] To analyze the expression of miR-621 and its clinical significance in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) using the data from GEO and TCGA. [Methods] The expression levels of miR-621 in HCC tissues and its adjacent liver tissues were compared with data from GEO and TCGA database,and the relations of miR-621 expression level with clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of the patients were also analyzed. The prediction of potential target genes of miR-621 and the functional enrichment analyses of the target genes were performed by bioinformatics analysis. Furthermore,the key target genes of miR-621were screened based on PPIs network and survival analysis. [Results] The expression levels of miR-621 were significantly downregulated in HCC tissues compared to the adjacent liver tissues(P<0.05). The expression level of miR-621 was positively correlated with TNM stage,pathological tumor grade and alpha-fetoprotein(all P<0.05). Survival analysis showed that low expression of miR-621 was associated with poor prognosis in patients with HCC(P<0.05). Enrichment analyses revealed that the target genes of miR-621 were significantly associated with cell adhesion,calcium ion binding,amino acid transmembrane transporter activity,MAPK pathway and cell cycle signaling pathway. AURKA,CDC25A,ESPL1,GINS2,KIF20B,MCM5,NUSAP1 and OIP5 were the key target genes of miR-621,with significant upregulation in HCC tissues(all P<0.05). Patients with high expression of these genes had relatively poor prognosis(all P<0.05). [Conclusion] MiR621 may play as an anti-oncogene miRNA in HCC,and it has a potential value of acting as a diagnostic biomarker,prognostic indicator and therapeutic target for HCC.
