ABSTRACT

Objective To perform bioinformatics analysis of the genetic chip data of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in order to search for the characteristic gene expression profiles. Methods Differential expression analysis of RA Gene chip data in GEO database was performed using GEO2R, and GO and KEGG enrichment analysis of functional annotation and pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were conducted by DAVID6.8 and R language. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) and target genes acquisition were realized by String-database and software Cytoscape3.7.1. Results The 1 184 DEGs in synovial tissues isolated from the knee joints of RA patients were statistically significant. Among them 664 were up-regulated and 520 were down-regulated. DEGs were enriched to 70 different GOterms, and the most significant terms were signal transduction, plasma membrane and protein binding. DEGs were enriched to 62 different signal pathways, including cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, osteoclast differentiation, rheumatoid arthritis, Th17 cell differentiation, and IL17 signal pathway. PPI analysis screened out 19 pivotal target genes, namely, NKG7, BCL6, SEMA4D, NFIL3, RAC2, MLIP, SEL1L3, GUSBP11, IGLV1-44, IGLJ3, IGLC1, IGKV1OR2-118, IGKV1OR2-108, IGKC, IGHV4-31, IGHV3-23, IGHM, IGHD and CYAT1. Conclusion Partial DEGs screened out by analyzing the expression profiles are involved in the key links affecting the development of synovial inflammation in RA, which may provide an important theoretical basis for early diagnosis and treatment of this disease and development of targeted drugs.

ABSTRACT

Objective • To screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and pathways in the islet tissues of lipoprotein lipase (Lpl) gene heterozygous knockout (Lpl+/-) mice and wild type (WT) mice, and explore the molecular mechanism of pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) mediated by lipotoxicity. Methods • The islets of Lpl+/- mice and WT mice were isolated and purified. DEGs were screened by gene microarray analysis. Gene Ontology (GO) function analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis of DEGs were performed. The expressions of key genes were verified by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). Results • A total of 187 DEGs were identified. GO functional analysis and KEGG pathway analysis showed that DEGs were mainly involved in the biological processes such as immune cell proliferation and differentiation, inflammatory signaling pathways and cell adhesion. Among the top 10 DEGs screened from Lpl+- mice and WT mice, gremlin 1 (Grem1) gene was closely related to the function of islet β cells, while the result of qPCR was consistent with that of gene microarray analysis. Conclusion • Multiple signaling pathways are involved in the process of T2DM mediated by lipotoxicity, which may lead to the dysfunction of islet β cells by inhibiting Grem1 expression.

ABSTRACT

@# Objective: To investigate the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with the occurrence and development of breast cancer and to screen the molecular markers for breast cancer by bioinformatic analysis. Methods: Three breast cancer microarray datasets were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. GEO2R was used to identify DEGs. The differentially co-expressed genes in the three datasets were screened by Venn diagram. GO function enrichment analysis and KEGG signal pathway analysis were performed using DAVID. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of DEGs was constructed using STRING. The most important modules in the PPI network were analyzed using Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE), and the genes with degree≥10 were identified as Hub genes. Hierarchical clustering analysis of hub genes was conducted using UCSC Cancer Genomics Brower. The survival curve and the co-expression network of hub genes were constructed using cBioPortal. Results: A total of 65 DEGs were screened from the three data sets. Eight hub genes, CTNNB1, CDKN1A, CXCR4, RUNX3, CASP8, TNFRSF10B, CFLAR and NRG1, were finally obtained, which exerted important roles in cell adhesion, proliferation and apoptosis regulation etc. Clustering analysis showed that the differential expression levels of CTNNB1, CFLAR, NRG1 and CXCR4 were associated with the occurrence of breast cancer. The overall survival analysis indicated that the patients with elevated CDKN1Aexpression had significantly shorter overall survival time (P<0.01). Conclusion: The hub genes identified in the present study can be used as molecular markers for breast cancer, providing candidate targets for diagnosis, treatment and prognostic prediction of breast cancer.
