Combined Bulk and Single-Cell Transcriptomic Analysis to Reveal the Potential Influences of Intestinal Inflammatory Disease on Multiple Sclerosis.

ABSTRACT: Multiple sclerosis (MS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are both autoimmune disorders caused by dysregulated immune responses. Still, there is a growing awareness of the comorbidity between MS and IBD. However, the shared pathophysiological mechanisms between these two diseases are still lacking. RNA sequencing datasets (GSE126124, GSE9686, GSE36807, GSE21942) were analyzed to identify the shared differential expressed genes (DEGs) for IBD and experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE). Other datasets (GSE17048, GSE75214, and GSE16879) were downloaded for further verification and analysis. Shared pathways and regulatory networks were explored based on these DEGs.
