          Abstract

          Background

          Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in modern obstetrics, however, few studies have explored the underlying molecular mechanisms and biomarkers. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the regulatory RNA network contributing to PAS, comprising long non-coding (lnc), micro (mi), and messenger (m) RNAs, and identify biomarkers for the prediction of intraoperative blood volume loss.

          Methods

          Using RNA sequencing, we compared mRNA, lncRNA, and miRNA expression profiles between five PAS and five normal placental tissues. Furthermore, the miRNA expression profiles in maternal plasma samples from ten PAS and ten control participants were assessed. The data and clinical information were analyzed using R language and GraphPad Prism 7 software.

          Results

          Upon comparing PAS and control placentas, we identified 8,806 lncRNAs, 128 miRNAs, and 1,788 mRNAs that were differentially expressed. Based on a lasso regression analysis and correlation predictions, we developed a competing endogenous (ce) RNA network comprising 20 lncRNAs, 4 miRNAs, and 19 mRNAs. This network implicated a reduced angiogenesis pathway in PAS, and correlation analyses indicated that two miRNAs (hsa-miR‐490-3p and hsa-miR-133a-3p) were positively correlated to operation-related blood volume loss.

          Conclusions

          We identified a ceRNA regulatory mechanism in PAS, and two miRNAs that may potentially serve as biomarkers of PAS prognosis.

          Gene set enrichment analysis: A knowledge-based approach for interpreting genome-wide expression profiles

          Although genomewide RNA expression analysis has become a routine tool in biomedical research, extracting biological insight from such information remains a major challenge. Here, we describe a powerful analytical method called Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) for interpreting gene expression data. The method derives its power by focusing on gene sets, that is, groups of genes that share common biological function, chromosomal location, or regulation. We demonstrate how GSEA yields insights into several cancer-related data sets, including leukemia and lung cancer. Notably, where single-gene analysis finds little similarity between two independent studies of patient survival in lung cancer, GSEA reveals many biological pathways in common. The GSEA method is embodied in a freely available software package, together with an initial database of 1,325 biologically defined gene sets.

            GSVA: gene set variation analysis for microarray and RNA-Seq data

            Background Gene set enrichment (GSE) analysis is a popular framework for condensing information from gene expression profiles into a pathway or signature summary. The strengths of this approach over single gene analysis include noise and dimension reduction, as well as greater biological interpretability. As molecular profiling experiments move beyond simple case-control studies, robust and flexible GSE methodologies are needed that can model pathway activity within highly heterogeneous data sets. Results To address this challenge, we introduce Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA), a GSE method that estimates variation of pathway activity over a sample population in an unsupervised manner. We demonstrate the robustness of GSVA in a comparison with current state of the art sample-wise enrichment methods. Further, we provide examples of its utility in differential pathway activity and survival analysis. Lastly, we show how GSVA works analogously with data from both microarray and RNA-seq experiments. Conclusions GSVA provides increased power to detect subtle pathway activity changes over a sample population in comparison to corresponding methods. While GSE methods are generally regarded as end points of a bioinformatic analysis, GSVA constitutes a starting point to build pathway-centric models of biology. Moreover, GSVA contributes to the current need of GSE methods for RNA-seq data. GSVA is an open source software package for R which forms part of the Bioconductor project and can be downloaded at http://www.bioconductor.org.

              MicroRNAs: genomics, biogenesis, mechanism, and function.

              MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous approximately 22 nt RNAs that can play important regulatory roles in animals and plants by targeting mRNAs for cleavage or translational repression. Although they escaped notice until relatively recently, miRNAs comprise one of the more abundant classes of gene regulatory molecules in multicellular organisms and likely influence the output of many protein-coding genes.
