Weighted gene co expression network analysis (WGCNA) with key pathways and hub-genes related to micro RNAs in ischemic stroke.

ABSTRACT: Ischemic stroke (IS) is one of the major causes of death and disability worldwide. However, the specific mechanism of gene interplay and the biological function in IS are not clear. Therefore, more research into IS is necessary. Dataset GSE110993 including 20 ischemic stroke (IS) and 20 control specimens are used to establish both groups and the raw RNA-seq data were analysed. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to screen the key micro-RNA modules. The centrality of key genes were determined by module membership (mm) and gene significance (GS). The key pathways were identified by enrichment analysis with Kyoto Protocol Gene and Genome Encyclopedia (KEGG), and the key genes were validated by protein-protein interactions network.
