A molecular-level understanding and diagnosis of this patient cohort could significantly guide clinical interventions. In this study, we amalgamated our sequencing data (n = 46) with a publicly accessible database (n = 38) to perform an unsupervised cluster analysis of the integrated dataset. The eighty-four rosacea patients were partitioned into two distinct clusters. Neurovascular biomarkers were found to be elevated in cluster 1 compared to cluster 2. Pathways in cluster 1 were predominantly involved in neurotransmitter synthesis, transmission, and functionality, whereas cluster 2 pathways were centered on inflammation-related processes. Differential gene expression analysis and WGCNA were employed to delineate the characteristic gene sets of the two clusters. Subsequently, a diagnostic model was constructed from the identified gene sets using linear regression methodologies. The model's C index, comprising genes PNPLA3, CUX2, PLIN2, and HMGCR, achieved a remarkable value of 0.9683, with an area under the curve (AUC) for the training cohort's nomogram of 0.9376. Clinical characteristics from our dataset (n = 46) were assessed by three seasoned dermatologists, forming the NR validation cohort (NR, n = 18; non-neurogenic rosacea, n = 28). Upon application of our model to NR diagnosis, the model's AUC value reached 0.9023. Finally, potential therapeutic candidates for both patient groups were predicted via the Connectivity Map. In summation, this study unveiled two clusters with unique molecular phenotypes within rosacea, leading to the development of a precise diagnostic model instrumental in NR diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":8915,"journal":{"name":"BMC Medical Genomics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142182005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emerging evidence supports that autophagy dysfunction in neuronal system contributes to pathophysiological changes in neurological disease. However, the role of autophagy in bipolar disorder has rarely been elucidated. This study aimed to identify the autophagy-related gene as a potential biomarker Correlated to immune infiltration in BPD. The microarray dataset GSE23848 and autophagy-related genes (ARGs) were downloaded. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between normal and BPD samples were screened using the R software. Machine learning algorithms were performed to screen the significant candidate biomarker from autophagy-related differentially expressed genes (ARDEGs). The correlation between the screened ARDEGs and infiltrating immune cells was explored through correlation analysis. In this study, the autophagy pathway was abundantly enriched and activated in BPD, as indicated by Pathway enrichment analysis. We identified 16 ARDEGs in BPD compared to the normal group. A signature of 4 ARDEGs (ERN1, ATG3, CTSB, and EIF2AK3) was screened. ROC analysis showed that the above genes have good diagnostic performance. In addition, immune correlation analysis considered that the above four genes significantly correlated with immune cells in BPD. Autophagy - immune cell axis mediates pathophysiological changes in BPD. Four important ARDEGs are prospective to be potential biomarkers associated with immune infiltration in BPD and helpful for the prediction or diagnosis of BPD.","PeriodicalId":8915,"journal":{"name":"BMC Medical Genomics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142182007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
