Identification and validation of biomarkers related to mitochondria during ex vivo lung perfusion for lung transplants based on machine learning algorithm
Background
Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is a critical strategy to rehabilitate marginal donor lungs, thereby increasing lung transplantation (LTx) rates. Ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury inevitably occurs during LTx. Exploring the common mechanisms between EVLP and I/R may unveil new treatment targets to enhance LTx outcomes.
Methods
We obtained datasets from the public Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) for EVLP (GSE127055 and GSE127057) and I/R (GSE145989) processes. We performed analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA). Mitochondrial genes were sourced from the MitoCarta 3.0 database. Hub mitochondrial-related DEGs (MitoDEGs) were identified using a combination of protein–protein interaction networks and machine learning methods, which were further validated in cell and mice models of EVLP.
Results
GSEA analysis of DEGs following EVLP and I/R revealed significant inhibition of mitochondrial function pathways, encompassing mitochondrial central dogma, mtRNA metabolism, OXPHOS assembly factors, metals and cofactors, and heme synthesis and processing processes. Machine learning algorithms including Random Forest, LASSO, and XGBoost identified five downregulated genes (MTERF1, ACACA, COX15, OSGEPL1, and COQ9) as hub MitoDEGs for both EVLP and I/R processes. We confirmed the reduced expression of these hub MitoDEGs in endothelial cells during EVLP and observed mitochondrial damage in endothelial cells characterized by swollen morphology and cristae disappearance.
Conclusions
Imbalance in mitochondrial homeostasis is a shared pathological process during EVLP and I/R-induced lung injury. The identified hub mitochondrial-related genes (MTERF1, ACACA, COX15, OSGEPL1, and COQ9) suggest promising therapeutic targets for lung injury during LTx. The downregulation of these genes indicates a significant disruption in mitochondrial function. This study provides potential mitochondrial-related therapeutic targets for I/R-induced lung injury and for donor lung repair during EVLP procedure in LTx.
