Identifying Crucial Biomarkers in Osteoporosis and Ulcerative Colitis Through Bioinformatics Analysis of Co-expressed Genes.

ABSTRACT: Osteoporosis (OP) and ulcerative colitis (UC), prevalent immune diseases, exert a substantial socioeconomic impact globally. This study identifies biomarkers for these diseases, paving the way for in-depth research. Initially, the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was employed to analyze datasets GSE35958 and GSE87466. This analysis aimed to pinpoint co-expression differential genes (DEGs) between OP and UC. Subsequently, the Metascape database facilitated the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis of these DEGs' co-expression. For network construction and visualization, the STRING11.5 database along with Cytoscape 3.7.2 (Cytoscape Team, USA) were utilized to create a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Moreover, Cytoscape's cytoHubba plu
