MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs (~22 nt) that control a wide range of biological processes including cancers via regulating target genes [1-5]. Therefore, it is important to uncover miRNA functions and regulatory mechanisms in cancers.
The emergence of competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) hypothesis [6] has challenged the traditional knowledge that coding RNAs only act as targets of miRNAs. Actually, a pool of coding and non-coding RNAs that shares common miRNA biding sites competes with each other, thus act as ceRNAs to release coding RNAs from miRNAs control. These ceRNAs are also known as miRNA sponges or miRNA decoys, and include long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), pseudogenes, circular RNAs (circRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs), etc [7-10]. Recent studies [11, 12] have shown that miRNA sponge network and module can help to reveal the biological mechanism in cancer.
To accelerate the research of miRNA sponge, we develop an R package ‘miRspongeR’ to implement popular methods in the identification and analysis of miRNA sponge network and module.
In ‘spongeMethod’ function, We implement seven popular methods (miRHomology [13, 14], pc [15, 16], sppc [17], ppc [11], hermes [18], muTaME [19], and cernia [20]) to identify miRNA sponge interactions. The seven methods should meet a basic condition: the significance of sharing of miRNAs by each RNA-RNA pair (e.g. adjusted p-value < 0.01). Each method has its own merit due to different evaluating indicators. Thus, we present an integrate method to combine predicted miRNA sponge interactions from different methods.
We implement miRHomology method based on the homology of sharing miRNAs.

We implement the muTaME method based on the logarithm of four scores: (1) the fraction of common miRNAs, (2) the density of the MREs for all shared miRNAs, (3) the distribution of MREs of the putative RNA-RNA pairs and (4) the relation between the overall number of MREs for a putative miRNA sponge compared with the number of miRNAs that yield these MREs. There is no reason to decide which score has more contribution than the rest. Thus, we calculate a combined score by adding these four scores. To evaluate the strength of each RNA-RNA pair, we further normalize the combined scores to obtain normalized scores with interval [0 1].

miRspongeR provides several functions to study miRNA sponge (also called ceRNA or miRNA decoy), including popular methods for identifying miRNA sponge interactions, and the integrative method to integrate miRNA sponge interactions from different methods, as well as the functions to validate miRNA sponge interactions, and infer miRNA sponge modules, conduct enrichment analysis of modules, and conduct survival analysis of modules. It could provide a useful tool for the research of miRNA sponges.
