Popis: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a main carcinogenic factor of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). TPX2 microtubule nucleation factor is recently recommended as a novel prognostic biomarker in HBV-infected HCC tissues. This study aimed to explore a TPX2-related ceRNA regulatory network in HBV-infected HCC and the potential impact on HCC prognosis. We comprehensively identified 541 differential expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs), 37 DEmiRNAs and 439 DEmRNAs from HBV-related TCGA-HCC cohorts in TPX2low and TPX2high groups. Based on their RNA-RNA interaction and expression analysis, four DElncRNAs (TRHDE-AS1, DLX6-AS1, SNHG14, HOXA11-AS), four DEmiRNAs (miR-23b, miR-320a, miR-589, miR-126) and five DEmRNAs (PKIA, PCDHA2, SHCBP1, PRSS16, KIF18A) in HCC tumor vs normal groups were subjected to the hub regulatory networks analysis and further prognostic value analysis. Importantly, the TRHDE-AS1/miR-23b/PKIA ceRNA network was associated with HCC prognosis. Furthermore, cellular location analysis and base-base interaction analysis indicated that the cytoplasmic lncRNA TRHDE-AS1 was regarded as a ceRNA to sponging miR-23b and then regulating PKIA. Interestingly, correlation analysis suggested the expression correlation between TRHDE-AS1 and PKIA in HCC. Finally, we further performed the methylation and immune infiltration analysis to explore the functional process of PKIA in HCC. We proposed a ceRNA regulatory network may help elucidate the mechanism by which TPX2 contributes to the prognosis of HBV-related HCC.
