In the validation study, elevated serum levels of β-amyloid in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients were confirmed, showing positive correlations with ApoE2 and ApoE4. Notably, ApoE3 was identified as an independent protective factor against KOA.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>In this bioinformatics analysis, we identified the DAMPs-related genes of KOA and explored their potential functions and regulatory networks. The high expression of β-amyloid in KOA was confirmed by experiments, and the correlation between β-amyloid and ApoE2, ApoE4 in KOA was revealed for the first time, this provides a new way to explore the pathogenesis of KOA and to study the therapeutic targets of KOA.</p>","PeriodicalId":16113,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innate Immunity","volume":"16 1","pages":"501-512"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11521507/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142545924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
