摘要: 目的:探究慢性儿童免疫性血小板减少症(ITP)的关键基因和信号通路,为研究慢性ITP的潜在分子机制提供新的思路。方法:从GEO数据库获得mRNA表达芯片数据集GSE46922,利用GEO2R筛选出DEGs,并利用DAVID对DEGs进行GO功能富集分析和KEGG信号转导通路富集分析。随后,构建PPI蛋白互作网络,筛选核心靶标。结果:筛选出274个表达上调基因,主要参与细胞骨架组构,基于肌动蛋白丝的过程,肌动蛋白纤维组织等生物过程。筛选出496个表达下调基因,主要参与动作电位和肌肉收缩等过程。KEGG分析发现,上调基因主要参与HIF-1信号通路。下调基因主要涉及焦点黏附、Rap1信号通路、PI3K-Akt信号通路、神经信号传递通路、肌动蛋白细胞骨架调控等信号通路。获得11个核心靶标:VEGFA,CCND1,ESR1,MYH14,ERBB2,CDKN3,PVALB,CDC20,CHEK1,MTOR和CFTR。结论:本研究通过生物信息学分析获得慢性ITP的关键基因和信号通路,为研究慢性ITP的发病机制提供了新的思路。核心靶标基因可作为诊断和预后评估的生物标志物。

Abstract: Objective:To identify critical genes and pathways in order to unravel the molecular mechanisms associated with chronic ITP.Method:The gene expression profile dataset(GSE46922)was downloaded from GEO database.The DEGs were identified by GEO2R.GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses were carried out using DAVID database.Furthermore,PPI network was constructed by STRING database.Result:Totally 274 up-regulated genes were identified,which were enriched in biological processes of cytoskeleton organization,actin filament-based process and actin filament organization.Additionally,496 down-regulated genes were identified,which demonstrated enrichment in biological processes including action potential,muscle contraction and behavior.Pathway analysis revealed that the up-regulated DEGs were particularly involved in HIF-1 signaling pathway,while the down-regulated DEGs were mainly involved in focal adhesion,Rap1 signaling pathway and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.The top 11 hub genes of PPI network were VEGFA,CCND1,ESR1,MYH14,ERBB2,CDKN3,PVALB,CDC20,CHEK1,MTOR and CFTR.Conclusion:The present study identified the DEGs and pathways in chronic ITP by bioinformatics analysis,which might provide novel insights for unraveling pathogenesis of chronic ITP.The hub genes might serve as biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis evaluation. -
