Increasing evidences suggest that microRNA (miRNA) plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of POAG. This study aims to construct a miRNA-mRNA regulatory network and identify biomarkers for POAG.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>miRNAs and mRNAs expression profiling of TM samples from controls and POAG patients were assessed through microarray analysis. Target genes of differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) were predicted by miEAA and miRNet. Then GO and KEGG pathway analysis of differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) were performed. PPI of top 30 hub genes was identified and miRNA-mRNA network was established by STRING database and Cytoscape software. GSE27276 and GSE105269 datasets were used to verify the expression of hub genes and to predict potential biomarkers in TM and aqueous humor (AH) for POAG, respectively. Finally, GSEA analysis was conducted to estimate the main signaling pathway of POAG pathogenesis.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A total of 29 up-regulated and 7 down-regulated miRNAs, 923 up-regulated and 887 down-regulated mRNAs were identified in TM of POAG compared with controls. Target genes and DEmRNAs were mainly enriched in nitric oxide biosynthetic process, vasopressin-regulated water reabsorption, and so on. Through miRNA-mRNA network construction, top 30 hub genes were regulated by 24 DEmiRNAs. 8 genes were aberrantly expressed in dataset GSE27276. 3 genes (<jats:italic>CREB1<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>CAPZA2<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>SLC2A3<\/jats:italic>) and 2 miRNAs (<jats:italic>miR-106b-5p<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>miR-15a-5p<\/jats:italic>) were identified as potential biomarkers for POAG in TM and AH, respectively.
