Transactivation DNA-binding protein-related genes were associated with salivary gland injury in primary Sjogren syndrome.

ABSTRACT: The purpose was to identify transactivation DNA-binding protein-related genes in salivary gland injury in primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) in southwest China. We downloaded the datasets of GSE7451, GSE23117, and GSE40611. In order to screen the candidate genes, 2 kinds of machine learning algorithms were used. We collected blood from 28 patients and 20 controls to verify the expression of candidate genes using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency. Correlations between candidate genes and immune cells were examined. A total of 31 differentially expressed genes were obtained. Through different algorithms, 6 genes including IFIT1, CSF2RB, TRIM22, PPM1H, VAMP7, and C21orf2 were getted. Validat
