Immune infiltration analysis based on pyroptosis-related gene in metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a prevalent chronic disease that can involve pyroptosis. The primary objective of this study was to conduct a thorough and comprehensive analysis the pyroptosis-related genes in MAFLD.

Methods

We identified pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes (PRDEGs) in both healthy individuals and MAFLD patients. Using various bioinformatic approaches, we conducted an immune infiltration analysis from multiple perspectives.

Results

A total of 20 pyroptosis-related LASSO genes were obtained, and 10 hub genes were used to do immune infiltration analysis. The hub genes were utilized in the construction of interaction networks between mRNA-miRNA and mRNA-TF. Immune characteristics analysis revealed multiple immune cell types significantly related to PRDEG expression, particularly genes HSP90AA1, TSLP, CDK9, and BRD4.

Conclusion

Pyroptosis-related immune infiltration might be a mechanism of MAFLD progression and offers a research direction for potential treatment techniques.

Project description:BackgroundTo better understand the patient's heterogeneity in fatty liver disease (FLD), metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) was proposed by international experts as a new nomenclature for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We aimed to evaluate the cardiovascular risk, assessed through coronary artery calcium (CAC) and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), of patients without FLD and patients with FLD and its different subtypes.MethodsCross sectional study of 370 patients. Patients with FLD were divided into 4 groups: FLD without metabolic dysfunction (non-MD FLD), MAFLD and the presence of overweight/obesity (MAFLD-OW), MAFLD and the presence of two metabolic abnormalities (MAFLD-MD) and MAFLD and the presence of T2D (MAFLD-T2D). MAFLD-OW included two subgroups: metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUHO). The patients without FLD were divided into 2 groups: patients without FLD and without MD (non-FLD nor MD; reference group) and patients without FLD but with MD (non-FLD with MD). EAT and CAC (measured through the Agatston Score) were determined by computed tomography.ResultsCompared with the reference group (non-FLD nor MD), regarding EAT, patients with MAFLD-T2D and MAFLD-MUHO had the highest risk for CVD (OR 15.87, 95% CI 4.26-59.12 and OR 17.60, 95% CI 6.71-46.20, respectively), patients with MAFLD-MHO were also at risk for CVD (OR 3.62, 95% CI 1.83-7.16), and patients with non-MD FLD did not have a significantly increased risk (OR 1.77; 95% CI 0.67-4.73). Regarding CAC, patients with MAFLD-T2D had an increased risk for CVD (OR 6.56, 95% CI 2.18-19.76). Patients with MAFLD-MUHO, MAFLD-MHO and non-MD FLD did not have a significantly increased risk compared with the reference group (OR 2.54, 95% CI 0.90-7.13; OR 1.84, 95% CI 0.67-5.00 and OR 2.11, 95% CI 0.46-9.74, respectively).ConclusionMAFLD-T2D and MAFLD-OW phenotypes had a significant risk for CVD. MAFLD new criteria reinforced the importance of identifying metabolic phenotypes in populations as it may help to identify patients with higher CVD risk and offer a personalized therapeutic management in a primary prevention setting.
