Unveiling vital biomarkers and immune infiltration profiles in endoplasmic reticulum stress following spinal cord injury.

ABSTRACT: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a profound affliction of the central nervous system that often remains inadequately addressed. Prior research has indicated that endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), associated with apoptotic signaling, plays a part in subsequent injuries post-SCI. However, the exact mechanisms are still unclear. ERS-related genes and SCI-associated datasets were sourced from the Genecard and GEO databases. We identified 68 ERSDEGs and pinpointed 6 marker genes vital for SCI diagnosis (CYBB, PRDX6, PTGS1, GCH1, TLR2 and PIK3CG) which were all upregulated in SCI based on bioinformatics and qRT-PCR. The nomogram exhibited that these genes could effectively predict the occurrence of SCI. Functional analysis revealed the potential roles of these genes was closely related to neuron ce
