Investigation of key miRNAs and their target genes in inflammatory bowel diseases and colitisassociated colorectal cancers using miRNA profiling and bioinformatic tools
Background and purpose: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are a group of chronic intestinal diseases
including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). This study identified differentially expressed miRNAs in UC
CD and colitis-associated colorectal cancers (CAC) to explore their potential as novel molecular biomarkers. Methods: Tissue samples were taken from 13 UC patients
3 CD patients
12 CAC patients
and 8 ageand gender-matched healthy controls. The miRNA expressions were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) assay. Known targets of deregulated miRNAs were utilized using miRWalk 2.0 database
and subsequent bioinformatics analysis of these target genes was performed by DAVID software (GO-analysis
KEGG-analysis and BIOCARTA-analysis). Results: The data showed that miR-146a
miR-27a
miR-29a
miR-20a and miR-21 were upregulated in UC
CD and CAC tissues compared with normal control. Moreover
the target genes of these miRNAs were enriched in several key signal transduction pathways including cancer-related pathway and immunity-associated pathway. Conclusion: miR-146a
miR-27a
miR-29a
miR-20a and miR-21 may play important roles in the switching from IBD to CAC.
