Abstract

Considering the critical roles of hsa-miR-155-5p participated in hematopoietic system, this study aims to clarify the possible pathogenesis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) induced by hsa-miR-155-5p.Three different strategies were employed, namely a network-based pipeline, a survival analysis and genetic screening method, and a simulation modeling approach, to assess the oncogenic role of hsa-miR-155-5p in CML. We identified new potential roles of hsa-miR-155-5p in CML, involving the BCR/ABL-mediated leukemogenesis through MAPK signaling. Several promising targets including E2F2, KRAS and FLI1 were screened as candidate diagnostic marker genes. The survival analysis revealed that mRNA expression of E2F2, KRAS and FLI1 was negatively correlated with hsa-miR-155-5p and these targets were significantly associated with poor overall survival. Furthermore, an overlap between CML-related genes and hsa-miR-155-5p target genes was revealed using competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks analysis. Taken together, our results reveal the dynamic regulatory aspect of hsa-miR-155-5p as potential player in CML pathogenesis.
