lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

8.8K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

RNA-seq

10.3K
RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases. 
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Colon cancer is a complex disease involving early metastatic seeding.
  • The pathogenesis of colon cancer is linked to dysregulated interactions among messenger RNAs (mRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs).
  • Understanding these complex RNA regulatory relationships is crucial for elucidating colon cancer mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To construct a heterogeneous network of differentially expressed mRNAs, miRNAs, and lncRNAs.
  • To identify colon cancer-related RNAs using a novel computational approach.
  • To provide a framework for analyzing RNA interactions in complex diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of a heterogeneous network with three types of RNA vertices and six edge types.
  • Categorization of RNAs into 'related', 'irrelevant', and 'unlabeled' groups.
  • Application of dynamic excitation restart random walk (RW-DIR) algorithm for RNA identification.

Main Results:

  • Identification of ten specific RNAs associated with colon cancer: hsa-miR-2682-5p, hsa-miR-1277-3p, ANGPTL1, SLC22A18AS, FENDRR, PHLPP2, hsa-miR-302a-5p, APCDD1, MEX3A, and hsa-miR-509-3-5p.
  • Validation of the effectiveness of the network construction and RW-DIR algorithm.
  • Demonstration of the framework's applicability to other diseases.

Conclusions:

  • The developed network analysis framework and RW-DIR algorithm are effective for identifying disease-related RNAs.
  • The identified RNAs provide potential targets for understanding colon cancer.
  • This approach can be extended to accelerate biological research in various diseases.
