Survival analyses and ROC curves were performed to verify the model by using the GSE103091 dataset. The BRCA datasets were equally divided into high- and low-risk score groups.

Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that the risk score was significantly associated with age, M stage, and N stage. The gene mutation probability in the high-risk score group was significantly higher than that in the low-risk score group. Patients with higher risk scores were more likely to die.

Differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) were identified, and functional and pathway enrichment analyses were performed. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed and further analyzed by module mining. Moreover, a ceRNA regulatory network was constructed based on the identified lncRNA–mRNA coexpression relationship pairs and miRNA–mRNA regulation pairs. Results We identified 1117 DEmRNAs and 57 DElncRNAs from the GEO data. The downregulated DEmRNAs were particularly associated with muscle contraction and muscle filament, while the upregulated ones were linked to extracellular matrix organization and cell adhesion. From the PPI network, 11 modules were extracted. Genes in MCODE 2 (such as TPM4) were significantly involved in cardiomyopathy, and genes in MCODE 4 (such as COL4A3 and COL4A4) were involved in focal adhesion, ECM-receptor interaction, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. The ceRNA network contained 7 lncRNAs (MIR133A1HG, LINC01405, PRKCQ-AS1, C10orf71-AS1, MBNL1-AS1, HOTAIRM1, and DNM3OS), 63 mRNAs, and 41 miRNAs.

Mutation in the POLD1 gene is associated with autosomal dominant predisposition to colonic adenomatous polyps, colon cancer, endometrial cancer (EDMC), breast cancer, and brain tumors.

Increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can lead to oxidative DNA damage, which, if unrepaired, can be an underlying cause of cancerogenic transformation. To defend against these threats, cells have developed a range of defense mechanisms. One of the most important protection mechanisms is DNA repair systems, both nuclear and mitochondrial. Sirt3 is a mitochondrial protein involved in regulating NEIL1, NEIL2, MUTYH, APE1, and LIG3 proteins, which are involved in DNA repair, including mitochondrial repair through mtBER (mitochondrial Base Excision Repair). In this work, we show that NEIL1, NEIL2, MUTYH, APE1, and LIG3 are regulated by Sirt3 through deacetylation, and moreover, Sirt3 is directly involved in physical interaction with MUTYH, NEIL1, and APE1, which indicates the controlling role of Sirt3 over the mtBER mechanism. Also, if the cells deprived of Sirt3 are exposed to oxidative stress, altered levels of those proteins can be observed, which supports the theory of the regulatory role of Sirt3. Finally, to fully confirm the role of Sirt3 in DNA repair, we examined its role in apoptosis and found the impact of this protein on cell survival rate. Using the knowledge obtained in the course of conducted experiments, we postulate consideration of Sirt3 as a target in the rising vulnerability of cancer cells during therapy and therefore increasing the effectiveness of cancer treatment.","PeriodicalId":12778,"journal":{"name":"Genetics research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45935219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
