Genetic analysis of potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets in ferroptosis from psoriasis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Ferroptosis is associated with multiple pathophysiological processes. Inhibition of ferroptosis has received much concern for some diseases. Nonetheless, there is no study comprehensively illustrating functions of ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) in psoriasis.

Methods

In this study, FRGs together with psoriasis-associated data were obtained in Ferroptosis Database (FerrDb) and gene expression omnibus (GEO) database separately. This work identified altogether 199 psoriasis-associated DE-FRGs, and they were tightly associated with immunity and autophagy modulation. Thereafter, the present study utilized SVM-RFE and LASSO algorithms to identify NR5A2, CISD1, GCLC, PRKAA2, TRIB2, ABCC5, ACSF2, TIMM9, DCAF7, PEBP1, and MDM2 from those 199 DE-FRGs to be marker genes. As revealed by later functional annotation, the marker genes possibly had important effects on psoriasis through being involved in diverse psoriasis pathogenesis-related pathways such as cell cycle, toll-like receptor (TLR), chemokine, and nod-like receptor (NLR) pathways. Moreover, altogether 37 drugs that targeted 11 marker genes were acquired. Besides, based on CIBERSORT analysis, alterations of immune microenvironment in psoriasis cases were possibly associated with PRKAA2, PEBP1, CISD1, and ACSF2.

Discussion

Taken together, this work established the diagnostic potency and shed more lights on psoriasis-related mechanism. More investigations are warranted to validate its value in diagnosing psoriasis before it is applied in clinic.

Project description:PurposeAsthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease involving multiple mechanisms, of which ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death. Recent studies have shown that ferroptosis may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of asthma, but no specific ferroptosis gene has been found in asthma, and the exact mechanism is still unclear. The present study aimed to screen ferroptosis genes associated with asthma and find therapeutic targets, in order to contribute a new clue for the diagnosis and therapy of asthma.MethodsFerroptosis-related differentially expressed genes (FR-DEGs) in asthma were selected by the GSE41861, GSE43696 and ferroptosis datasets. Next, the FR-DEGs were subjected by GO and KEGG enrichment, and the mRNA-miRNA network was constructed. Then, GSEA and GSVA enrichment analysis and Immune infiltration analysis were performed, followed by targeted drug prediction. Finally, the expression of FR-DEGs was confirmed using GSE63142 dataset and RT-PCR assay.ResultsWe found 13 FR-DEGs by the GSE41861, GSE43696 and ferroptosis database. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that the 13 FR-DEGs were enriched in oxidative stress, immune response, ferroptosis, lysosome, necrosis, apoptosis etc. Moreover, our results revealed the mRNA-miRNA network of the FR-DEGs and identified candidate drugs. Also, immune infiltration revealed that ELAVL1, CREB5, CBR1 and NR1D2 are associated with the immune cells and may be potential targets in asthma. Finally, 10 FR-DEGs were validated by the GSE63142 database. It was verified that 7 FR-DEGs were differentially expressed by collecting asthma patients and healthy controls.ConclusionThis study ultimately identified 7 FR-DEGs for the diagnosis and therapy of asthma. These 7 FR-DEGs contribute to oxidative stress and immune responses. This study provides potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers for asthma patients, shedding further light on the pathogenesis of asthma as well as providing new insights into the treatment of asthma.

Project description:PurposePsoriasis is closely linked to ferroptosis. This study aimed to identify potential ferroptosis-associated genes in psoriasis using bioinformatics.MethodsData from the GSE30999 dataset was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and the ferroptosis-associated genes were retrieved from FerrDb. The differentially expressed ferroptosis-associated genes were identified using Venn diagrams. Subsequently, a network of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) between psoriasis targets and ferroptosis-associated genes was constructed based on the STRING database and analyzed by Cytoscape software. The Metascape portal conducted Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses. Moreover, the expression of ferroptosis-related genes was verified in the GSE13355 dataset. Finally, the verified genes were used to predict the therapeutic drugs for psoriasis using the DGIdb/CMap database. SwissDock was used to examine ligand docking, and UCSF Chimera displayed the results visually.ResultsAmong 85 pairs of psoriasis lesion (LS) and no-lesion (NL) samples from patients, 19 ferroptosis-associated genes were found to be differentially expressed (3 upregulated genes and 16 downregulated genes). Based on the PPI results, these ferroptosis-associated genes interact with each other. The GO and KEGG enrichment analysis of differentially expressed ferroptosis-related genes indicated several enriched terms related to the oxidative stress response. The GSE13355 dataset verified the results of the bioinformatics analysis obtained from the GSE30999 dataset regarding SLC7A5, SLC7A11, and CHAC1. Psoriasis-related compounds corresponding to SLC7A5 and SLC7A11 were also identified, including Melphalan, Quisqualate, Riluzole, and Sulfasalazine.ConclusionWe identified 3 differentially expressed ferroptosis-related genes through bioinformatics analysis. SLC7A5, SLC7A11, and CHAC1 may affect the development of psoriasis by regulating ferroptosis. These results open new avenues in understanding the treatment of psoriasis.

Project description:PurposeTriple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive tumor with poor prognosis, it has higher recurrence and metastatic rates than other breast cancer subtypes. This study aims to investigate biomarkers and potential targets for TNBC related to ferroptosis through data mining and bioinformatics analysis. The findings may provide new insights for treating TNBC.MethodsThe TNBC patients' data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were extracted for differential expression and prognosis analysis. Consensus genes obtained by intersecting differential expressed and ferroptosis-related genes was used to establish the prognostic model by the univariate and multivariate Cox analyses. Besides, TNBC data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was used to confirm the reliability of the prognosis model. Moreover, clinical information was analyzed by multifactorial independent analysis to identify independent prognostic factors. The expression of genes constituting the prognostic model was further validated using the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database. Finally, the Comparative Toxicogenomic Data (CTD) database was used to explore possible treatment drugs for TNBC.ResultsWe obtained 13,245 differential expressed genes, and 177 consensus genes. 98 genes with prognostic implication were obtained by univariable Cox. Then, a prognostic model including 12 ferroptosis-related genes was constructed by multivariable Cox. The area under curve (AUC) value of the prognostic model for TNBC was 0.82. The GEO database validated that the model (AUC = 0.77) could predict the patient outcomes. The staining results of 10 out of 12 prognostic model genes in HPA database showed that their expression was consistent with our predictions. Clinical risk analysis indicated that risk score of patients could act as an independent prognostic factor. Finally, six drugs that may have interaction with 12 ferroptosis-related genes were obtained using the CTD database.ConclusionThe prognostic model composed of 12 ferroptosis-related genes could predict the prognosis of TNBC patients, and seven genes (ASNS, LAMP2, CAV1, DPP4, HELLS, TF, ZFP69B) could be potential new therapeutic targets for TNBC, and two drugs (1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine, rosiglitazone) could act as potential therapeutic drugs for the treatment of TNBC.
