Objective To screen the differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) and the differentially expressed gene mRNAs (DEGs) in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) from the TCGA database and to explore the relationship between miRNAs and the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma and their biological functions. Methods The RNA-seq and miRNA-seq data of lung adenocarcinoma samples were downloaded from the TCGA database for analysis, and the R program was used to screen for differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs. Then, the molecular functions, biological processes, cellular components, and signaling pathways involved in the occurrence and development of LUAD were analyzed using the functional accumulation analysis software of GSEA. The relationship between the integrated differentially expressed RNAs was analyzed by miRcode, TargetScan, and miRTarbase databases, and the miRNA-mRNA network was constructed. Result A total of 516 differentially expressed miRNAs and 5464 differentially expressed mRNAs were identified in LUAD. The GSEA enrichment analysis showed that miRNAs and mRNAs were mainly enriched in extracellular structure organization, external encapsulating structure organization, extracellular matrix organization, and gated channel activity. They were mainly involved in neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction signaling pathway. Some miRNAs and mRNAs in clustering modules were found to be associated with the prognosis of LUAD. Four targeting networks consisting of 22 miRNAs and 531 mRNAs were constructed. Conclusion The miRNA and mRNA related to the prognosis of LUAD were screened out, which provided a valuable preliminary basis for the follow-upin-depth clinical research and basic experimental research of LUAD.
