New MicroRNAs Candidates to Treat Human Colorectal Cancer; Molecular Dynamic Simulations Found a Major Down-Regulator of CLCA4 Tumor Suppressor Gene
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract IntroductionColorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. The expression of CLCA4, a tumor suppressor gene, decreases significantly in cancer cells of CRC. In this study, we identified miRNAs target the mRNA of the CLCA4 gene. ObjectiveThe aim of this study was the identification of miRNAs involved in CRC.Material and methodsWe predicted miRNA(s) that target CLCA4 mRNA applying TargetScan v.7. Then through analysis of Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets, among them, miRNA(s) over-expressed in CRC cells were determined. To identify miRNAs with the highest potential to down-regulate CLCA4 through binding, we calculated the binding free energies of the candidate miRNA- mRNA complexes using the molecular mechanics energies combined with several solvation models: The Poisson–Boltzmann (MM/PBSA), the generalized Born (MM/GBSA), and the three-dimensional reference interaction site model with Kovalenko–Hirata closure relation (3D-RISM-KH). ResultsOur TargetScan analysis predicted that 106 miRNAs could bind to CLCA4 3' UTR mRNA. Hsa-miR-934, hsa-miR-574-5p, hsa-miR-377-3p, hsa-miR-5580-3p, hsa-miR-4775, hsa-miR-590-3p and hsa-miR-501-5p showed increased expression in CRC samples compared to normal cells. MD results found the lowest free energy changes in three hsa-miR-377-3p, hsa-miR-574-5p and hsa-miR-501-5p miRNAs. ConclusionThis research beside introducing a new fast and low cost plan to find best candidate of miRNAs to bind their targets, suggested miR-501-5p as a biomarker for early diagnosis of CRC. As well, preventing of down regulation of the CLCA4 expression through interrupting in the expression of miR-574-5p and miR-377-3p and more effectively miR-501-5p probably treat or slow down the development of colorectal cancer.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
