Identification of hub genes and key pathways of dietary advanced glycation end products‑induced non‑alcoholic fatty liver disease by bioinformatics analysis and animal experiments.

ABSTRACT: Non‑alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic liver disease. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) negatively affect the liver and accelerate NAFLD progression; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The present study aimed to examine the effect and mechanism of dietary AGEs on the mouse liver using bioinformatics and in vivo experimental approaches. Gene expression datasets associated with NAFLD were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using GEO2R. Functional enrichment analyses were performed using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery and a protein‑protein interaction network for the DEGs was constructed using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes d
