Ahnak and Nckap1l as potential diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets in Landiolol-mediated sepsis treatment
Purpose
Landiolol is a beta-blocker used in the treatment of Sepsis. However, how this drug influences key genes and pathways involved in disease remains unknown. This study aimed to explore potential biomarkers involved in the mechanism of Landiolol’s action in sepsis.
Methods
Two microarray datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus database were downloaded. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. Then, Landiolol-associated genes (lnd-DEGs) were screened using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), followed by enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network investigation. Biomarkers were explored using three machine learning methods (LASSO, SVM-RFE, and RF), followed by diagnostic and prognostic analyses of these biomarkers.
Results
After landiolol treatment, a total of 45 DEGs were identified when compared to normal samples. These genes were primarily associated with 357 biological functions, including the inositol phosphate metabolic process, and six key pathways, including the phosphatidylinositol signaling system. Using three different machine learning methods, 4 signature genes related to landiolol’s action on sepsis were identified. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis demonstrated high predictive accuracy for Ahnak and Nckap1l in sepsis. Clinical correlation analysis revealed that Nckap1l and Ahnak were significantly associated with endotype and overall survival (OS) of sepsis, respectively. Finally, the prognostic value of Ahnak was validated through Kaplan-Meier analysis.
Conclusions
Ahnak and Nckap1l are potential diagnostic biomarkers and targets for therapeutic intervention in landiolol-induced sepsis following administration of Landiolol. Nckap1l can be used for endotype analysis of sepsis.
期刊介绍:
Computational Biology and Chemistry publishes original research papers and review articles in all areas of computational life sciences. High quality research contributions with a major computational component in the areas of nucleic acid and protein sequence research, molecular evolution, molecular genetics (functional genomics and proteomics), theory and practice of either biology-specific or chemical-biology-specific modeling, and structural biology of nucleic acids and proteins are particularly welcome. Exceptionally high quality research work in bioinformatics, systems biology, ecology, computational pharmacology, metabolism, biomedical engineering, epidemiology, and statistical genetics will also be considered.
Given their inherent uncertainty, protein modeling and molecular docking studies should be thoroughly validated. In the absence of experimental results for validation, the use of molecular dynamics simulations along with detailed free energy calculations, for example, should be used as complementary techniques to support the major conclusions. Submissions of premature modeling exercises without additional biological insights will not be considered.
Review articles will generally be commissioned by the editors and should not be submitted to the journal without explicit invitation. However prospective authors are welcome to send a brief (one to three pages) synopsis, which will be evaluated by the editors.
