Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the major male cancers. Differential diagnosis of PC is indispensable for the individual therapy, i.e., Gleason score (GS) that describes the grade of cancer can be used to choose the appropriate therapy. However, the current techniques for PC diagnosis and prognosis are not always effective. To identify potential markers that could be used for differential diagnosis of PC, we analyzed miRNA-mRNA interactions and we build specific networks for PC onset and progression. Key differentially expressed miRNAs for each GS were selected by calculating three parameters of network topology measures: the number of their single regulated mRNAs (NSR), the number of target genes (NTG) and NSR/NTG. miRNAs that obtained a high statistically significant value of these three parameters were chosen as potential biomarkers for computational validation and pathway analysis. 20 miRNAs were identified as key candidates for PC. 8 out of 20 miRNAs (miR-25-3p, miR-93-3p, miR-122-5p, miR-183-5p, miR-615-3p, miR-7-5p, miR-375, and miR-92a-3p) were differentially expressed in all GS and proposed as biomarkers for PC onset. In addition, “Extracellular-receptor interaction”, “Focal adhesion”, and “microRNAs in cancer” were significantly enriched by the differentially expressed target genes of the identified miRNAs. miR-10a-5p was found to be differentially expressed in GS 6, 7, and 8 in PC samples. 3 miRNAs were identified as PC GS-specific differentially expressed miRNAs: miR-155-5p was identified in PC samples with GS 6, and miR-142-3p and miR-296-3p in PC samples with GS 9. The efficacy of 20 miRNAs as potential biomarkers was revealed with a Random Forest classification using an independent dataset. The results demonstrated our 20 miRNAs achieved a better performance (AUC: 0.73) than miRNAs selected with Boruta algorithm (AUC: 0.55), a method for the automated feature extraction. Studying miRNA-mRNA associations, key miRNAs were identified with a computational approach for PC onset and progression. Further experimental validations are needed for future translational development.
