Novel targets in renal fibrosis based on bioinformatic analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background: Renal fibrosis is a widely used pathological indicator of progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD), and renal fibrosis mediates most progressive renal diseases as a final pathway. Nevertheless, the key genes related to the host response are still unclear. In this study, the potential gene network, signaling pathways, and key genes under unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) model in mouse kidneys were investigated by integrating two transcriptional data profiles. Methods: The mice were exposed to UUO surgery in two independent experiments. After 7 days, two datasets were sequenced from mice kidney tissues, respectively, and the transcriptome data were analyzed to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Then, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of
