The DEGs of the two datasets were obtained by R language processing and analysis. The intersecting DEGs were obtained using the Venny 2.1 platform. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed using the DAVID platform, and the microbubble map was drawn online by importing the microbubble generation platform. All the obtained DEGs and the intersecting DEGs were imported into the STRING platform to obtain a protein-protein interaction network (PPI) and then into Cytoscape 3.9.1 software to screen core genes (hub genes). A total of 665 DEGs were obtained from the GSE55584 and GSE153015 datasets, including 324 upregulated and 341 downregulated DEGs. GO enrichment analysis showed that the biological processes in which DEGs were mainly enriched included signal transduction, immune response, inflammatory response, adaptive immune response, and G protein-coupled receptor signalling pathway. KEGG enrichment analysis of the DEGs identified the following enriched pathways: cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction; chemokine signalling pathway; viral protein interaction with cytokines and cytokine receptors; and apoptosis. Ten core genes (hub genes) were screened out, namely, CD3D, CD27, KLRB1, CCL5, GZMB, GZMA, GZMK, GNLY, CD2, and NKG7.

However, their small size and flat surfaces make them challenging targets for small-molecule inhibitors, while macromolecular therapies struggle to cross the cell membrane. Modulating TF activity at the genetic level offers a promising alternative. Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), which regulate protein expression by targeting mRNA, have emerged as effective therapeutics for previously undruggable proteins, including TFs. Over the past two decades, ASO therapeutics have advanced significantly, demonstrating long-lasting efficacy by promoting mRNA degradation. c-Myc, a key regulator of oncogene expression, drives cancer cell growth and proliferation but remains undruggable due to its nuclear localization and dynamic structure. In this study, we utilized our ASO development platform to design ASOs targeting c-Myc. Our sequence optimization algorithm achieved high accuracy, with one of three designed ASOs successfully silencing c-Myc. <i>Ex vivo</i> validation showed that ASO3 inhibited A549 cell growth with an IC<sub>50</sub> of 152.5 nM. At the molecular level, ASO3 significantly reduced both c-Myc mRNA and protein expression.
