Lung cancer is a prime cause of worldwide cancer deaths, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as a frequent subtype. Surgical resection, chemotherapy are the currently used treatment methods. Delayed detection, poor prognosis, tumor heterogeneity, and chemoresistance make them relatively ineffective. Genomic medicine is a budding aspect of cancer therapeutics, where miRNAs are impressively involved. miRNAs are short ncRNAs that bind to 3'UTR of target mRNA, causing its degradation or translational repression to regulate gene expression. This study aims to identify important miRNA-mRNA-TF interactions in NSCLC using bioinformatics analysis. GEO datasets containing mRNA expression data of NSCLC were used to determine differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and identification of hub genes-BIRC5, CCNB1, KIF11, KIF20A, and KIF4A (all functionally enriched in cell cycle). The FFL network involved, comprised of miR-20b-5p, CCNB1, HMGA2, and E2F7. KM survival analysis determines that these components may be effective prognostic biomarkers and would be a new contemplation in NSCLC therapeutics as they target cell cycle and immunosurveillance mechanisms via HMGA2 and E2F7. They provide survival advantage and evasion of host immune response (via downregulation of cytokines-IL6, IL1R1 and upregulation of chemokines-CXCL13, CXCL14) to NSCLC. The study has provided innovative targets, but further validation is needed to confirm the proposed mechanism.
