Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs that act as regulators of disease. An evolutionary approach to the disease could reveal factors such as diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis prediction. The expression patterns of transposable element (TEs)-derived miRNAs could help elucidate diseases, and their evolutionary patterns are also valuable. The 34 miRNAs were compared in terms of stage survival and tumor status in 33 carcinomas from TCGA. Expression levels were compared using a t-test and presented as differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs). For DEMs showing statistically specific expression patterns for 3 conditions (normal and cancer, early and advanced stage, and survival), interactions with related genes in 10 species, including humans, were compared. The enrichment term was discovered for the gene-miRNA interactions. In 18 out of the 33 carcinomas, at least one miRNA was retrieved with P < .05 and |fold change| >.05. A total of 128 DEMs for the 9 miRNAs were identified. Based on the TargetScan database, interactions between miRNAs and genes in 10 species, including humans, were confirmed. The evolutionarily conserved miR-130a was observed in all 10 species, whereas miR-151a was only observed in humans. GO terms of related genes were selected for the miRNAs commonly found in each species. Evolutionary analysis of TE-derived disease-associated miRNAs was performed, and the evolutionarily conserved miR-130a-related carcinomas included renal and thyroid cancers. Human and rhesus monkey-specific miR-625 is associated with various carcinomas.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
