Abstract

Background: Cervical cancer (CC) ranks as the third most common cancer in incidence and mortality in females worldwide. Let-7c is a tumor suppressor miRNA, and its role has been little studied in CC. Runt-related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1) is upregulated in several human cancers, such as colorectal cancer. It is a transcription factor that promotes cell proliferation, metastasis, chemotherapy resistance and angiogenesis in colorectal cancer. In this study, we performed a bioinformatic analysis to understand how Let-7c and RUNX1 are involved in the development of CC.

Methods: We performed a bioinformatic analysis of Let-7c in CC using GSE and TCGA datasets from GEO, KM-plotter, miRPathDB and Enrich databases. Then, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of RUNX1's role in CC using TCGA, GSE and HPA datasets from OncoDB, CISTROME, ExPASy, Alibaba, ALGGEN, ENCODE, IGV, GEO, KM-plotter and DiseaseMeth databases.

Results: We found that Let-7c expression is decreased in CC. Interestingly, we identified a transcription factor known as RUNX1, as a potential target of Let-7c. Finally, we suggest that RUNX1 could regulate the expression of several genes, promoting CC.

Conclusions: The Let-7c/RUNX1 axis promotes CC.

Let-7c/RUNX1轴促进宫颈癌：生物信息学分析。

背景：宫颈癌（CC）在全球女性发病率和死亡率中排名第三。Let-7c是一种肿瘤抑制miRNA，其在CC中的作用研究甚少。runt相关转录因子1 （RUNX1）在多种人类癌症中上调，如结直肠癌。它是一种促进结直肠癌细胞增殖、转移、化疗抵抗和血管生成的转录因子。在这项研究中，我们进行了生物信息学分析，以了解Let-7c和RUNX1如何参与CC的发展。方法：我们使用来自GEO， km -绘图仪，miRPathDB和Enrich数据库的GSE和TCGA数据集对CC中的Let-7c进行了生物信息学分析。然后，我们利用来自OncoDB、CISTROME、ExPASy、Alibaba、ALGGEN、ENCODE、IGV、GEO、KM-plotter和DiseaseMeth数据库的TCGA、GSE和HPA数据集对RUNX1在CC中的作用进行了全面分析。结果：我们发现Let-7c在CC中的表达降低，有趣的是，我们发现了一个名为RUNX1的转录因子，作为Let-7c的潜在靶点。结论：Let-7c/RUNX1轴促进CC的发生。
