Bioinformatic analysis of biological changes involved in pelvic organ prolapse.

ABSTRACT: The molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) remain unclear. This study aimed to identify key molecules involved in the pathogenesis and progression of POP. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified based on gene expression data extracted from the GSE53868, GSE28660, and GSE12852 datasets in the gene expression omnibus database. The R software was used for data mining, and gene ontology functional annotation and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes enrichment analyses were performed to explore the biological functions of DEGs. A protein-protein interaction network (PPI) was constructed using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes database, and hub genes were identified by the Cytoscape plug-in cytoHubba. In addition, th
