Screening and Identification of Therapeutic Targets for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Through Microarray Technology.

ABSTRACT: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare but fatal disease characterized by vascular cell proliferation; the pathogenesis of PAH has yet to be fully elucidated. Publicly available genetic data were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to determine significant differences in gene expression between tissues with PAH and healthy lung tissues. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the online tool, GEO2R, and functional annotation of DEGs was performed using Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis. Next, the construction and module analysis of the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and verification of the expression level of hub genes was perform
