Abstract
Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a common human pathogen, which is closely correlated with gastric cancer (GC). However, the mechanism of H. pylori-related GC has not been elucidated. This study aimed to explore the role of H. pylori infection in GC and find biomarkers for early diagnosis of H. pylori-related GC.
Methods: We identified differentially expressed microRNAs (DEMs) and genes (DEGs) from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset, constructed microRNA-(miRNA-)mRNA expression networks, analyzed the function and signal pathway of cross-genes, analyzed the relations between cross-genes and GC prognosis with the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data, and verified the expression of cross-genes in patients with H. pylori infection.
Results: 22 DEMs and 68 DEGs were identified in GSE197694 and GSE27411 dataset. 16 miRNAs and 509 genes were involved in the expression network, while the cross-genes of the network were mainly enriched in MAP kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway and TGF-beta signaling pathway. Patients with higher expression of hsa-miR-196b-3p, CALML4, or SMAD6 or lower expression of PITX2 or TGFB2 had better outcomes than those with lower expression of hsa-miR-196b-3p, CALML4, or SMAD6 or higher expression of PITX2 or TGFB2 (P < 0.05). Patients with H. pylori infection had a higher expression of hsa-miR-196b-3p and CALML4 than those without H. pylori infection (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: The study of miRNA-mRNA expression network would provide molecular support for early diagnosis and treatment of H. pylori-related GC.
