Overview

Transcriptomic analysis uncovers dysregulated miRNA-mRNA networks in pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, highlighting candidate biomarkers for targeted therapeutic intervention.

Key Points

  • To identify dysregulated microRNAs and their downstream target genes to elucidate altered oncogenic signaling networks in pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
  • Conducted integrative bioinformatic profiling across three public pediatric T-ALL miRNA sequencing datasets (E-MTAB-7446, E-MTAB-11987, and GSE89978).
  • Predicted target genes using TargetScan, miRDB, and miRTarBase, constructed interaction networks via Cytoscape, and correlated findings with institutional patient transcriptomic data.
  • Identified critical hub genes—including BCL2, CCND, PTEN, SIRT1, GSK3B, IL6, NFKB1, and SMAD4—with prominent roles in PI3K-Akt signaling and cellular senescence.
  • Demonstrated significant negative correlations in pairs such as IL6-hsa-miR-9-5p, FOXO1-hsa-miR-153-3p, and hsa-miR-296-3p-STAT5A, which drive aberrant IL6/JAK-STAT and TGF-β signaling.
