Background: Kidney transplantation is an optimal method for treatment of end-stage kidney failure. However, kidney transplant rejection (KTR) is commonly observed to have negative effects on allograft function. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs with regulatory role in KTR genesis, the identification of miRNA biomarkers for accurate diagnosis and subtyping of KTR is therefore of clinical significance for active intervention and personalized therapy. Methods: In this study, an integrative bioinformatics model was developed based on multi-omics network characterization for miRNA biomarker discovery in KTR. Compared with existed methods, the topological importance of miRNA targets was prioritized based on cross-level miRNA-mRNA and protein–protein interaction network analyses. The biomarker potential of identified miRNAs was computationally validated and explored by receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) evaluation and integrated “miRNA-gene-pathway” pathogenic survey. Results: Three miRNAs, i.e., miR-145-5p, miR-155-5p, and miR-23b-3p, were screened as putative biomarkers for KTR monitoring. Among them, miR-155-5p was a previously reported signature in KTR, whereas the remaining two were novel candidates both for KTR diagnosis and subtyping. The ROC analysis convinced the power of identified miRNAs as single and combined biomarkers for KTR prediction in kidney tissue and blood samples. Functional analyses, including the latent crosstalk among HLA-related genes, immune signaling pathways and identified miRNAs, provided new insights of these miRNAs in KTR pathogenesis. Conclusions: A network-based bioinformatics approach was proposed and applied to identify candidate miRNA biomarkers for KTR study. Biological and clinical validations are further needed for translational applications of the findings.
