Increasing evidence suggests that the disorder of mitochondrial metabolism is closely related to the pathogenesis of IBD, but its specific regulatory network and key genes remain to be further investigated. IBD-related transcriptome datasets (GSE3365 and GSE75214) and single-cell sequencing dataset (GSE134809) were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Differentially expressed genes and hub genes were identified through differential expression analysis and weighted gene co-expression network analysis, and candidate genes were obtained by intersecting these with mitochondrial metabolism-related genes, followed by functional enrichment analysis. Machine learning algorithms were used to screen key genes and construct risk prediction models. Additionally, analysis of GSE134809 single-cell data identified characteristic cell types and expression distribution of key genes in IBD and explored communication between different cell types. Furthermore, immune cell infiltration, competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network, and transcription factor prediction were performed. Finally, the diagnostic performance of key genes was validated in GSE75214 and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Two key genes, mitochondrial ribosomal protein L35 (<i>MRPL35</i>) and <i>MRPL39</i>, were identified, which were downregulated in IBD, and had good diagnostic potential. Single-cell analysis revealed that key genes were predominantly highly expressed in mononuclear phagocyte (MNP) cells. MNP cells communicated with other cells through receptor ligands including MIF-(CD74 + CXCR4), MDK-SDC1, and ITGB2-ICAM2, which are complexly related to mitochondrial metabolism.

Both colony formation and cell proliferation studies showed a strong inhibition of cell growth, especially in HeLa cells. Similarly, wound-healing studies showed greater inhibition of cell migration in the presence of both drugs than with either drug alone.

The increased generation of reactive oxygen species suggested that HeLa cells are under oxidative stress.
