LID - 10.1007/s12010-023-04753-x [doi] AB - MicroRNAs (miRNAs) reportedly play significant roles in the progression of various cancers and hold huge potential as both diagnostic tools and therapeutic targets. Given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the precise functions of several miRNAs in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), this research undertakes a comprehensive analysis of CCA data sourced from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases. The present study identified a novel miRNA, specifically miR-26b-3p, which exhibited prognostic value for individuals with CCA. Notably, miR-26b-3p was upregulated within CCA samples, with an inverse correlation established with patient prognosis (Hazard Ratio = 8.19, p = 0.018). Through a combination of functional enrichment analysis, analysis of the LncRNA-miR-26b-3p-mRNA interaction network, and validation by qRT PCR and western blotting, this study uncovered the potential of miR-26b-3p in potentiating the malignant progression of CCA via regulation of essential genes (including PSMD14, XAB2, SLC4A4) implicated in processes such as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and responses to misfolded proteins. Our findings introduce novel and valuable insights that position miR-26b-3p-associated genes as promising biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of CCA. CI - (c) 2023.
