Differential expression and bioinformatic analysis of circRNA in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis cirrhosis.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

This study investigates the expression profile of circRNA in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) cirrhosis and identifies the underlying pathogenesis of core genes of NASH cirrhosis.

Methods

The GEO 134146 dataset was obtained from GEO database. EdgeR software was used to analyze the differential expression of circRNA between NASH cirrhosis samples and normal samples, and Starbase and miRWalk databases were used to predict the targeted miRNA and mRNA. The protein-protein interaction network of these target genes was established by searching the string database of interacting genes, Cytoscape and Mcode analysis. In addition, David and Omicshare were used to analyze the functional enrichment and pathway enrichment of target genes.

Results

We evaluated 99 differentia
