Abstract
BACKGROUND: Bladder cancer (BC) is the second most frequent malignancy of the urinary system. The aim of this study was to identify key microRNAs (miRNAs) and hub genes associated with BC as well as analyse their targeted relationships. METHODS: According to the microRNA dataset GSE112264 and gene microarray dataset GSE52519, differentially expressed microRNAs (DEMs) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained using the R limma software package. The FunRich software database was used to predict the miRNA-targeted genes. The overlapping common genes (OCGs) between miRNA-targeted genes and DEGs were screened to construct the PPI network. Then, gene ontology (GO) analysis was performed through the "cluster Profiler" and "org.Hs.eg.db" R packages. The differential expression analysis and hierarchical clustering of these hub genes were analysed through the GEPIA and UCSC Cancer Genomics Browser databases, respectively. KEGG pathway enrichment analyses of hub genes were performed through gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). RESULTS: A total of 12 DEMs and 10 hub genes were identified. Differential expression analysis of the hub genes using the GEPIA database was consistent with the results for the UCSC Cancer Genomics Browser database. The results indicated that these hub genes were oncogenes, but VCL, TPM2, and TPM1 were tumour suppressor genes. The GSEA also showed that hub genes were most enriched in those pathways that were closely associated with tumour proliferation and apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we built a miRNA-mRNA regulatory targeted network, which explores an understanding of the pathogenesis of cancer development and provides key evidence for novel targeted treatments for BC.
