Abstract
Lung cancer is a major public health burden and among the highest incidence and mortality rates of the cancers. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the development of lung cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate whether there was a potential causal relation between miRNAs and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). 1,026patients with NSCLC from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)were analyzed. NSCLC associated SNPs' allele scores were established, and candidate miRNAs were filtered from differential expression analysis. Mendelian randomization (MR)analysis was conducted for 5 candidate miRNA (hsa-miR-135b,hsa-miR-142, hsa-miR-182, hsa-miR-183 and hsa-miR-3607)and 76 candidate SNPs in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) group. According to the core assumptions of MR, there was no clear evidence of a causal relation between the 5 candidate miRNAs and LUAD. The reads per million miRNAs mapped (RPM) level of candidate miRNAs changed less than 3% per allele score. To our knowledge, this is the first study using the TCGA data set to investigate the causal relation between miRNAs and lung cancer using the MR approach, and also one of the first MR studies to use miRNA expression as an exposure factor, with the SNPs as instrumental variables.
