Abstract
Objective: To explore the research course, hotspots, and development trends of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and atherosclerosis (AS) based on knowledge graph technology, providing references for clinical and basic research in this field.
Methods: Publications themed on mtDNA and AS published between 2004 and 2025 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database. CiteSpace 6.4. R1 Advanced software was used to construct and visually analyze knowledge graphs of authors, institutions, keywords, etc.
Results: A total of 341 publications were included, with the annual publication volume showing an overall upward trend. Research methods for mtDNA and AS are diversifying, with mechanistic investigations showing a trending focus toward specific molecular pathways. A total of 241 authors and 353 publishing institutions were analyzed. Ten keyword clusters were identified, including Cluster #0 oxidative stress, Cluster #1 mitochondrial DNA, Cluster #2 degradation, Cluster #3 atherosclerosis, Cluster #4 hydrogen peroxide, Cluster #5 roles, Cluster #6 MAPK pathway, Cluster #7 epigallocatechin gallate, Cluster #8 mitochondrial DNA copy number, and Cluster #9 vascular disease.
Conclusion: Research has evolved from foundational mechanistic studies to a focus on translational and clinical applications. Moving forward, efforts should be intensified to enhance collaboration among research teams and deepen mechanistic investigations, thereby laying a solid foundation for clinical translation.
