Popis: Development of colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) metastasis involves several mediators including fluid shear stress (FSS), intracellular ROS levels, and non-coding RNAs. In our present study, we identified and investigated the role of regulatory non-coding RNA molecules specifically involved in COAD metastasis and their association with FSS and ROS. Interactions between the mRNAs associated with FSS and ROS, the corresponding microRNAs (miRNAs), long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) in COAD metastasis were used to generate the mRNA-miRNA-lncRNA-circRNA network. Experimental validation of the identified RNA hubs using quantitative real-time PCR demonstrated a direct effect of the FSS on their expression levels in cancer cells. FSS resulted in the downregulation of HMGA1 and RAN, as well as the upregulation of HSP90AA1, PMAIP1 and BIRC5. Application of shear stress also led to downregulation of hsa-miR-26b-5p and hsa-miR-34a-5p levels in HCT116 cells. Further, functional enrichment and survival analysis of the significant miRNAs, as well as the OncoPrint and the survival analyses of the selected mRNAs were performed. Subsequently, their functional role was also corroborated with existing literature. Ten significant miRNA hubs were identified, out of which hsa-miR-17-5p and hsa-miR-20a-5p were found to interact with lncRNA (CCAT2) while hsa-miR-335 was found to interact with four circRNAs. Fifteen significant miRNAs were identified in 10 different modules suggesting their importance in FSS and ROS-mediated COAD metastasis. Finally, 10 miRNAs and 3 mRNAs associated with FSS and/or ROS were identified as significant overall survival markers; 33 mRNAs were also identified as metastasis-free survival markers whereas 15 mRNAs showed 10% gene alterations in TCGA-COAD data and may serve as promising therapeutic biomarkers in the COAD metastasis.
