Popis: | Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is one of the most common cancers, and its carcinogenesis and progression is influenced by multiple long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA), especially through the miRNA sponge effect. In this study, more than 4000 lncRNAs were re-annotated from the microarray datasets through probe sequence mapping to obtain reliable lncRNA expression profiles. As a systems biology method for describing the correlation patterns among genes across microarray samples, weighted gene co-expression network analysis was conducted to identify lncRNA modules associated with the five stepwise stages from normal colonic samples to COAD (n = 94). In the most relevant module (R2 = -0.78, P = 4E-20), four hub lncRNAs were identified (CTD-2396E7.11, PCGF5, RP11-33O4.1, and RP11-164P12.5). Then, these four hub lncRNAs were validated using two other independent datasets including GSE20916 (n = 145) and GSE39582 (n = 552). The results indicated that all hub lncRNAs were significantly negatively correlated with the three-stage colonic carcinogenesis, as well as TNM stages in COAD (one-way analysis of variance P |
