Bioinformatics identification of potential candidate blood indicators for doxorubicin-induced heart failure.

ABSTRACT: The care of individual patients requiring anthracyclines remains challenging as uncertainty persists on predictors of cardiotoxicity. The aim of the present study was to identify potential candidate blood indicators of doxorubicin-induced heart failure. The gene expression profiles of GSE40447 and GSE9128 microarray data were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) using the R/Limma package or GEO2R. Functional and pathway enrichment analysis on DEGs were performed using DAVID database. The cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related DEGs were screen out based on the CardioGenBase database. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed with STRING database and visualized by using Cytoscape. Then, the CVD-related DEGs w
