Abstract
Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by alcohol-independent hepatic lipid accumulation, remains poorly understood in terms of PANoptosis involvement.
Methods: We integrated high-throughput sequencing data with bioinformatics to profile differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and immune infiltration patterns in MASLD, identifying PANoptosis-associated DEGs (PANoDEGs). Machine learning algorithms prioritized key PANoDEGs, while ROC curves assessed their diagnostic efficacy. Cellular, animal, and clinical validations confirmed target expression.
Results: Three PANoDEGs (SNHG16, Caspase-6, and Dynamin-1-like protein) exhibited strong MASLD associations and diagnostic significance. Immune profiling revealed elevated M1 macrophages, naïve B cells, and activated natural killer cells in MASLD tissues versus controls. Further experiments verified the expression of the key PANoDEGs.
Conclusions: This study provides new insights for further studies on the pathogenesis and treatment strategies of PANoptosis in MASLD.
期刊介绍:
Biology (ISSN 2079-7737) is an international, peer-reviewed, quick-refereeing open access journal of Biological Science published by MDPI online. It publishes reviews, research papers and communications in all areas of biology and at the interface of related disciplines. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
