Identification of novel biomarkers involved in pulmonary arterial hypertension based on multiple-microarray analysis.

ABSTRACT: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a life-threatening chronic cardiopulmonary disorder. However, studies providing PAH-related gene expression profiles are scarce. To identify hub genes involved in PAH, we investigate two microarray data sets from gene expression omnibus (GEO). A total of 150 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by limma package. Enriched Gene Ontology (GO) annotations and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways of DEGs mostly included mitotic nuclear division, ATPase activity, and Herpes simplex virus one infection. Ten hub genes from three significant modules were ascertained by Cytoscape (CytoHubba). Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) plots showed that transcription elongation factor complex was the most significantly enriched gen
