Identification of ferroptosis-related genes as potential diagnostic biomarkers for diabetic nephropathy based on bioinformatics.

ABSTRACT: Objective: This study investigated to probe ferroptosis-related diagnostic biomarkers and underlying molecular mechanisms in Diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods: GSE30122 and GSE1009 from GEO database were used as training and verification sets, respectively, to screen differentially expressed ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs). These genes were further analyzed using GO, KEGG, and GSEA methods, and screened with PPI, LASSO, and SVM-RFE to identify ferroptosis-related diagnostic biomarkers for DN. A diagnostic model was established using the Glm function and verified with ROC curve. The relationship between these biomarkers and immune cell was analyzed, and qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of these biomarkers in kidney tissues and identify the effect o
