Keloid Biomarkers and Their Correlation With Immune Infiltration.

ABSTRACT: Objective: This work aimed to verify the candidate biomarkers for keloid disorder (KD), and analyze the role of immune cell infiltration (ICI) in the pathology of keloid disorder. Methods: The keloid-related datasets (GSE44270 and GSE145725) were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Then, differential expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by using the "limma" R package. Support vector machine-recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) and LASSO logistic regression were utilized for screening candidate biomarkers of KD. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic power of candidate biomarkers. The candidate biomarkers were further verified through qRT-PCR of keloid lesions and the matched healthy skin tissue collected from e
