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.

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.

The study screened a cohort of patients (n = 167) with primary male infertility in contrast to 210 normally fertile men using whole exome sequencing (WES). The expression analysis of the candidate genes based on public single cell sequencing data was performed using the R language Seurat package. No pathogenic copy number variations (CNVs) related to male infertility were identified using the the GATK-gCNV tool. Accordingly, variants of 17 known causative (five X-linked and twelve autosomal) genes, including ACTRT1, ADAD2, AR, BCORL1, CFAP47, CFAP54, DNAH17, DNAH6, DNAH7, DNAH8, DNAH9, FSIP2, MSH4, SLC9C1, TDRD9, TTC21A, and WNK3, were identified in 23 patients. Variants of 12 candidate (seven X-linked and five autosomal) genes were identified, among which CHTF18, DDB1, DNAH12, FANCB, GALNT3, OPHN1, SCML2, UPF3A, and ZMYM3 had altered fertility and semen characteristics in previously described knockout mouse models, whereas MAGEC1,RBMXL3, and ZNF185 were recurrently detected in patients with male factor infertility. The human testis single cell-sequencing database reveals that CHTF18, DDB1 and MAGEC1 are preferentially expressed in spermatogonial stem cells. DNAH12 and GALNT3 are found primarily in spermatocytes and early spermatids. UPF3A is present at a high level throughout spermatogenesis except in elongating spermatids. The testicular expression profiles of these candidate genes underlie their potential roles in spermatogenesis and the pathogenesis of male infertility. WES is an effective tool in the genetic diagnosis of primary male infertility. Our findings provide useful information on precise treatment, genetic counseling, and birth defect prevention for male factor infertility.","PeriodicalId":8915,"journal":{"name":"BMC Medical Genomics","volume":"147 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142182111","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}

This study aimed to delineate the transcriptomic alterations during the recovery phases of HFRS. RNA sequencing was employed to analyze the transcriptomic alterations in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from HFRS patients across the oliguric phase (OP), diuretic phase (DP), and convalescent phase (CP). Twelve differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were validated using quantitative real-time PCR in larger sample sets. Our analysis revealed pronounced transcriptomic differences between DP and OP, with 38 DEGs showing consistent expression changes across all three phases. Notably, immune checkpoint genes like CD83 and NR4A1 demonstrated a monotonic increase, in contrast to a monotonic decrease observed in antiviral and immunomodulatory genes, including IFI27 and RNASE2. Furthermore, this research elucidates a sustained attenuation of immune responses across three phases, alongside an upregulation of pathways related to tissue repair and regeneration. Our research reveals the transcriptomic shifts during the recovery phases of HFRS, illuminating key genes and pathways that may serve as biomarkers for disease progression and recovery.","PeriodicalId":8915,"journal":{"name":"BMC Medical Genomics","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142182112","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}
