Article Abstract
Aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) is a common cause of secondary hypertension. This study aimed to explore the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network to uncover molecular mechanism underlying APA. The mRNA and lncRNA expression data of APA and adjacent adrenal gland (AAG) from GSE60044, GSE64957 and GSE101894 were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to analyse differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and lncRNAs (DElncs). Hub genes were identified by robust rank aggregation (RRA) and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis. The miRcode and miRWalk network tools were used to construct the ceRNA network. 1526 upregulated and 1512 downregulated DEGs were identified, which are mainly enriched in extracellular matrix and Ca -related GO terms. In the KEGG pathway analysis, Ca signalling and the aldosterone synthesis and secretion pathways were enriched. ceRNA network included 2 lncRNAs, 9 miRNAs, and 13 mRNAs. The lncRNAs are MEG3 and LINC00115. The mRNAs included CCND1, TP53, GPRC5B, BMI1, COMMD3-BMI1, ADAMTS15, STAT3, MMP2, SCN2B, CXCL12, HGF, FOS, and THBS1. Overall, this study conducted a ceRNA regulatory network analysis and identified that 2 lncRNAs and 13 mRNAs may contribute to the development of APA. These findings may provide novel diagnostic and intervention targets for APA.

Initially, pseudogenes were considered to be "junk DNA", and their biological role was unclear. However, some of the pseudogenes are engaged in the process of cancerogenesis and perform essential functions in competing for endogenous ribonucleic acid (ceRNA) networks and competing for RNA binding proteins (RBPs). They either positively or negatively regulate gene expression and act as suppressive and oncogenic transcripts.

Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) hold great promise for bone tissue repair and regeneration. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a crucial role in regulating the osteogenic differentiation and bone remodeling of ADSCs; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we conducted whole transcriptome sequencing (WTS) on ADSCs and constructed a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network to identify the circTTC3/miR-205/mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3 (Smad3) signaling axis.

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths globally. Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), a methyl-transferase and master transcriptional regulator frequently overexpresses in a variety of malignancies. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a significant role in regulating gene expression and are intricately involved in the EZH2 oncogenic regulatory network.
