Recent studies have found that erythropoietin promotes the recovery of neurological function after traumatic brain injury.However,the precise mechanism of action remains unclea r.In this study,we induced moderate traumatic brain injury in mice by intrape ritoneal injection of erythro poietin for 3 consecutive days.RNA sequencing detected a total of 4065 differentially expressed RNAs,including 1059 mRNAs,92 microRNAs,799 long non-coding RNAs,and 2115circular RNAs.Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and Gene Ontology analyses revealed that the coding and non-coding RNAs that were differentially expressed after traumatic brain injury and treatment with erythropoietin play roles in the axon guidance pathway,Wnt pathway,and MAPK pathway.Constructing competing endogenous RNA networks showed that regulatory relationship between the differentially expressed non-coding RNAs and mRNAs.Because the axon guidance pathway was repeatedly enriched,the expression of Wnt5a and Ephb6,key factors in the axonal guidance pathway,was assessed.Ephb6 expression decreased and Wnt5a expression increased after traumatic brain injury,and these effects were reversed by treatment with erythro poietin.These findings suggest that erythro poietin can promote recove ry of nerve function after traumatic brain injury through the axon guidance pathway. 展开更多

Objective:In the realm of Class I pathogens,Burkholderia pseudomallei(BP)stands out for its propensity to induce severe pathogenicity.Investigating the intricate interactions between BP and host cells is imperative for comprehending the dynamics of BP infection and discerning biomarkers indicative of the host cell response process.Methods:mRNA extraction from BP-infected mouse macrophages constituted the initial step of our study.Employing gene expression arrays,the extracted RNA underwent conversion into digital signals.The percentile shift method facilitated data processing,with the identification of genes manifesting significant differences accomplished through the application of the t-test.Subsequently,a comprehensive analysis involving Gene Ontology enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway was conducted on the differentially expressed genes(DEGs).Leveraging the ESTIMATE algorithm,gene signatures were utilized to compute risk scores for gene expression data.Support vector machine analysis and gene enrichment scores were instrumental in establishing correlations between biomarkers and macrophages,followed by an evaluation of the predictive power of the identified biomarkers.Results:The functional and pathway associations of the DEGs predominantly centered around G protein-coupled receptors.A noteworthy positive correlation emerged between the blue module,consisting of 416 genes,and the StromaScore.FZD4,identified through support vector machine analysis among intersecting genes,indicated a robust interaction with macrophages,suggesting its potential as a robust biomarker.FZD4 exhibited commendable predictive efficacy,with BP infection inducing its expression in both macrophages and mouse lung tissue.Western blotting in macrophages confirmed a significant upregulation of FZD4 expression from 0.5 to 24 h post-infection.In mouse lung tissue,FZD4 manifested higher expression in the cytoplasm of pulmonary epithelial cells in BP-infected lungs than in the control group.Conclusion:Thesefindings underscore the upregulation of FZD4 expression by BP in both macrophages and lung tissue,pointing to its prospective role as a biomarker in the pathogenesis of BP infection. 展开更多

Objective To uncover the mechanisms underlying the development of colorectal cancer(CRC),we applied bioinformatic analyses to identify key genes and experimentally validated their possible roles in CRC onset and progression.Methods We performed Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway analysis on differentially expressed genes(DEGs),constructed a protein-protein interaction(PPI)network to find the top 10 hub genes,and analyzed their expression in colon adenocarcinoma(COAD)and rectum adenocarcinoma(READ).We also studied the correlation between these genes and immune cell infiltration and prognosis and validated the expression of SLC9A2 in CRC tissues and cell lines using qRT-PCR and Western blotting.Functional experiments were conducted in vitro to investigate the effects of SLC9A2 on tumor growth and metastasis.Results We found 130 DEGs,with 45 up-regulated and 85 down-regulated in CRC.GO analysis indicated that these DEGs were primarily enriched in functions related to the regulation of cellular pH,zymogen granules,and transmembrane transporter activity.KEGG pathway analysis revealed that the DEGs played pivotal roles in pancreatic secretion,rheumatoid arthritis,and the IL-17 signaling pathway.We identified 10 hub genes:CXCL1,SLC26A3,CXCL2,MMP7,MMP1,SLC9A2,SLC4A4,CLCA1,CLCA4,and ZG16.GO enrichment analysis showed that these hub genes were predominantly involved in the positive regulation of transcription.Gene expression analysis revealed that CXCL1,CXCL2,MMP1,and MMP7 were highly expressed in CRC,whereas CLCA1,CLCA4,SLC4A4,SLC9A2,SLC26A3,and ZG16 were expressed at lower levels.Survival analysis revealed that 5 key genes were significantly associated with the prognosis of CRC.Both mRNA and protein expression levels of SLC9A2 were markedly reduced in CRC tissues and cell lines.Importantly,SLC9A2 overexpression in SW480 cells led to a notable inhibition of cell proliferation,migration,and invasion.Western blotting analysis revealed that the expression levels of phosphorylated ERK(p-ERK)and phosphorylated JNK(p-JNK)proteins were significantly increased,whereas there were no significant changes in the expression levels of ERK and JNK following SLC9A2 overexpression.Correlation analysis indicated a potential link between SLC9A2 expression and the MAPK signaling pathway.Conclusion Our study suggests that SLC9A2 acts as a tumor suppressor through the MAPK pathway and could be a potential target for CRC diagnosis and therapy. 展开更多

Objective: This study aims to investigate the potential targets of diosgenin for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) through the utilization of bioinformatics, network pharmacology, and molecular docking techniques. Methods: Differential expression genes (DEGs) shared by AD and COVID-19 were enriched by bioinformatics. Additionally, regulatory networks were analyzed to identify key genes in the Transcription Factor (TF) of both diseases. The networks were visualized using Cytoscape. Utilizing the DGIdb database, an investigation was conducted to identify potential drugs capable of treating both Alzheimer's disease (AD) and COVID-19. Subsequently, a Venn diagram analysis was performed using the drugs associated with AD and COVID-19 in the CTD database, leading to the identification of diosgenin as a promising candidate for the treatment of both AD and COVID-19.SEA, SuperPred, Swiss Target Prediction and TCMSP were used to predict the target of diosgenin in the treatment of AD and COVID-19, and the target of diosgenin in the treatment of AD and COVID-19 was determined by Wayne diagram intersection analysis with the differentially expressed genes of AD and COVID- 19. Their Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were analyzed jointly. Genomes The Protein Protein Interaction (PPI) network of these drug targets was constructed, and core targets with the highest correlation were screened out. The binding of diosgenin to these core targets was analyzed by molecular docking. Results: Through enrichment and cluster analysis, it was found that the biological processes, pathways and diseases enriched by DEGs in AD and COVID-19 were all related to inflammation and immune regulation. These common DEGs and Trust databases were used to construct AD and COVID-19 TFs regulatory networks. Diosgenin was predicted as a potential drug for the treatment of AD and COVID-19 by network pharmacology, and 36 targets of diosgenin for the treatment of AD and 27 targets for COVID-19 were revealed. The six core targets with the highest correlation were selected for molecular docking with diosgenin using CytohHubba to calculate the scores. Conclusions: This study firstly revealed that the common TFs regulatory network of AD and COVID-19, and predicted and verified diosgenin as a potential drug for the treatment of AD and COVID-19. The binding of diosgenin to the core pharmacological targets for the treatment of AD and COVID-19 was determined by molecular docking, which provides a theoretical basis for developing a new approach to clinical treatment of AD and COVID-19. 展开更多

Objective: To use bioinformatics technology to analyse differentially expressed genes in chronic rejection after renal transplantation, we can screen out potential pathogenic targets associated with the development of this disease, providing a theoretical basis for finding new therapeutic targets. Methods: Gene microarray data were downloaded from the Gene Expression Profiling Integrated Database (GEO) and cross-calculated to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with gene ontology (GO) is a method used to study the differences in gene expression under different conditions as well as their functions and interrelationships, while Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis is a tool used to explore the functions and pathways of genes in specific biological processes. By calculating the distribution of immune cell infiltration, the result of immune infiltration in the rejection group can be analysed as a trait in Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) for genes associated with rejection. Then, protein-protein interaction networks (PPI) were constructed using the STRING database and Cytoscape software to identify hub gene markers. Results: A total of 60 integrated DEGs were obtained from 3 datasets (GSE7392, GSE181757, GSE222889). By GO and KEGG analysis, the GEDs were mainly concentrated in the regulation of immune response, defence response, regulation of immune system processes, and stimulation response. The pathways were mainly enriched in antigen processing and presentation, EBV infection, graft-versus-host, allograft rejection, and natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity. After further screening using WGCNA and PPI networks, HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-F, and TYROBP were identified as hub genes (Hub genes). The data GSE21374 with clinical information was selected to construct the diagnostic efficacy and risk prediction model plots of the four hub genes, and the results concluded that all four Hub genes had good diagnostic value (area under the curve in the range of 0.794-0.819). From the inference, it can be concluded that the four genes, HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-F and TYROBP, may have an important role in the development and progression of chronic rejection after renal transplantation. Conclusion: DEGs play an important role in the study of the pathogenesis of chronic rejection after renal transplantation, and can provide theoretical support for further research on the pathogenesis of chronic rejection after renal transplantation and the discovery of new therapeutic targets through enrichment analysis and pivotal gene screening, as well as inferential analyses of related diagnostic efficacy and disease risk prediction. 展开更多

Background:Keloids are benign skin tumors characterized by fibroblast proliferation,tumor-like biological behavior,and excessive deposition of extracellular matrix in wounded skin.Ferroptosis,a type of programmed cell death,is critical in tumor pathogenesis.We aimed to investigate the role of ferroptosis in keloid formation.Methods:We downloaded public high-throughput sequencing raw count data(GSE92566),containing three normal skin and four keloid samples,from the Gene Expression Omnibus database.Ferroptosis-related genes were obtained from the Ferroptosis database website.The ferroptosis-related differentially expressed genes(FRDEGs)were obtained by merging differentially expressed genes with ferroptosis-related genes.The FRDEGs were then used for Gene Ontology,Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes,Gene Set Enrichment Analysis,proteinprotein interaction(PPI)network,and microRNA(miRNA)-mRNA network analysis.Finally,real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)was performed to validate our findings.Results:We found 25 FRDEGs,including 8 up-regulated and 17 down-regulated genes.Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the Hippo and transforming growth factorβsignaling pathways were significantly upregulated in keloids.In contrast,regulation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor signaling pathway,glutathione metabolism,and unsaturated fatty acid metabolic process were down-regulated.PPI and FRDEGs hub networks were constructed using the STRING database and Cytoscape software.Ten hub genes were identified,including PLA2G6,RARRES2,SNCA,CYP4F8,CDKN2A,ALOX12,FABP4,ALOX12B,NEDD4,and NEDD4L.We constructed a miRNA-mRNA network,which predicted hsa-mir-155-5p,hsa-let-7b-5p,hsa-mir-124-3p,hsa-mir-145-5p,hsa-mir-328-3p,hsa-mir-24-3p,and hsa-mir-10b-5p as the most connected miRNAs regulating ferroptosis in keloids.Finally,we verified the expression levels of the hub genes by RT-qPCR,which confirmed that ALOX12,ALOX12B,and CYP4F8 expression were reduced in keloids.Conclusions:This study provides novel information on ferroptosis-mediated keloid pathogenesis,underscoring the importance of further research in this area to unlock new therapeutic avenues for keloid treatment. 展开更多

[Objectives]To explore the function of hcp gene in Aeromonas hydrophila.[Methods]A pair of specific primers was designed referring to the hcp gene sequence of A.hydrophila.The hcp gene was amplified by PCR,and performed bioinformatics analysis.[Results]The hcp gene had a total length of 1650 bp and encoded 549 amino acids.The theoretical molecular weight of the protein predicted was about 59476.44 kDa.After predicting the N-terminal signal peptide structure of the amino acid sequence,neither obvious signal peptide cleavage site nor signal peptide was found,and the protein had no transmembrane region.The amino acid sequence had a N-glycosylation site,4 protein kinase C phosphorylation sites,7 casein kinase II phosphorylation sites,9 N-myristoylation sites,4 isoprene binding sites,10 microbody C-terminal target signal sites,and an ATP/GTP binding site motif A(P-ring).The amino acid sequence of hcp gene of A.hydrophila was performed homology analysis with other Aeromonas strains,and it showed higher homology with A.veronii.In the secondary structure,theα-helix,β-sheet,random coil and extended strand accounted for 45.36%,6.01%,37.52%and 11.11%,respectively.The tertiary structure model consisted of 18α-helix and 22β-sheet.Analysis of protein-protein network interaction demonstrated that the proteins interacting with Hcp protein were AHA_3407,nrfA,nirB-1,nirB-2 and AHA_1112.[Conclusions]Through the bioinformatics prediction results,the basic information of hcp gene of A.hydrophila is preliminarily understood,and the possible function of this protein is predicted,in order to provide guidance for subsequent vaccine research. 展开更多

According to the clpX gene sequence of Vibrio alginolyticus HY9901,a pair of specific primers were designed,and the full length was cloned by PCR and subjected to bioinformatics analysis.The results showed that the clpX gene was 1281 bp in length and encoded 426 amino acids.Its molecular structure formula was C 3842 H 6405 N 1281 O 1598 S 260,with a theoretical protein molecular weight of approximately 1044473.4 kDa and a theoretical pI value of 5.04.The clpX gene was predominantly situated within the cytoplasm,exhibiting unstable and hydrophilic protein characteristics.It possessed a signal peptide cleavage site,lacked a transmembrane region,and was not associated with any KEGG metabolic pathway.Additionally,it possessed 2 glycine phosphorylation sites,a CAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation site,a C-terminal amidation modification site,6 protein kinase C phosphorylation sites,7 microbody C-terminal target signal sites,and an ATP/GTP site.The clpX phylogenetic tree was constructed using the MEGA 5.0 software via the neighbor-joining method.The results demonstrated that the clpX of V.alginolyticus exhibited up to 100%affinity with the clpX of Vibrio spp.The single subunit 3D structure model of the ClpX protein was obtained using the SWISS-MODEL program.A structural and functional analysis of the protein revealed the presence of three distinct ClpX structural and functional domains.In the prediction of secondary structure,the proportions ofα-helix,random coil,β-sheet and extended strand were 40.38%,37.09%,5.40%and 17.14%,respectively.The analysis of the ClpX protein through the STRING database revealed that the proteins interacting with the ClpX protein were Tig,Atpd,Hflb,Msrb-2,Rpod,Clpp,Clpa,Lon-1,Hfq,and ANP63951.1.A computational analysis of the ClpX protein identified a number of post-translational modification sites,including phosphorylation,acetylation,ubiquitination,glycosylation,methylation,S-palmitoylation,and lactylation.The significance of this study is to analyze the function of the clpX gene and establish a robust foundation for subsequent investigations into the mechanism of the clpX gene in Vibrio alginolyticus. 展开更多

Background:Previous studies have established the role of 2-oxoglutarate and Fe(II)-dependent oxygenase domain–containing protein 1(OGFOD1)in oncogenesis.The objective of this investigation was to discern the diagnostic and prognostic relevance of OGFOD1 within the context of bladder cancer(BLCA)using bioinformatics methodologies.Methods:We collected RNA sequencing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas database and verified it using the GSE13507 dataset.Immunohistochemical analysis was based on data from the human protein atlas,and the protein-protein interaction network was constructed using the STRING database.Bioinformatics analysis was performed using the R application,analyzing the correlation between clinical characteristics and OGFOD1 expression,exploring the potential mechanisms of OGFOD1 in BLCA through Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis,and evaluating the diagnostic and prognostic value of OGFOD1 expression in BLCA through receiver operating characteristic curve analysis,Kaplan-Meier analysis,and multivariate Cox analysis.Furthermore,a BLCA prognostic nomogram was constructed.Results:We report higher expression levels of OGFOD1 in BLCA specimens compared with those in noncancerous tissues;this can be used to predict the outcome of the disease.Further,results suggest that OGFOD1 is implicated in the activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor signaling cascade,potentially interacting with other genes linked to expression in promoting the onset and progression of BLCA.Conclusions:OGFOD1 is a promising candidate as a prognostic indicator in BLCA. 展开更多

Background: Hypertension, also known as increased blood pressure, is a phenomenon in which blood flows in blood vessels and causes persistently higher-than-normal pressure on the vessel wall. The identification of novel prognostic and pathogenesis biomarkers plays a key role in the management of hypertension. Methods: The GSE7483 and GSE75815 datasets from the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database were used to identify the genes associated with hypertension that were differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The functional role of the DEGs was elucidated by gene body (GO) enrichment analysis. In addition, we performed an immune infiltration assay and GSEA on the DEGs of hypertensive patients and verified the expression of novel DEGs in the blood of hypertensive patients by RT-qPCR. Results: A total of 267 DEGs were identified from the GEO database. GO analysis revealed that these genes were associated mainly with biological processes such as fibroblast proliferation, cell structural organization, extracellular matrix organization, vasculature development regulation, and angiogenesis. We identified five possible biomarkers, Ecm1, Sparc, Sphk1, Thbsl, and Mecp2, which correlate with vascular development and angiogenesis characteristic of hypertension by bioinformatics, and explored the clinical expression levels of these genes by RT-qPCR, and found that Sparc, Sphk1, and Thbs1 showed significant up-regulation, in agreement with the results of the bioinformatics analysis. Conclusion: Our study suggested that Sparc, Sphk1 and Thbs1 may be potential novel biomarkers for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of hypertension and that they are involved in the regulation of vascular development and angiogenesis in hypertension. 展开更多
