Identification of Genes Associated with Progression of Coronary Artery Disease and Prediction of Intervention Targets of GuanxinⅡFormula
Objective:To explore the genes related to the progression of coronary heart disease and predict the target of Guanxin ⅡFormula for prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease.Methods:The transcriptome expression profiles of patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)and stable coronary heart disease(SCAD)were downloaded from the comprehensive gene expression database(GEO).Differential expression analysis and weighted gene co-expression network analysis(WGCNA)were used to obtain genes related to coronary heart disease progression.Gene ontology(GO)function analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analysis were performed for genes related to coronary heart disease progression.The active components and pharmacodynamic targets of Guanxin Ⅱ Formula were downloaded from the Traditional Chinese Medicine System Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP)database.The genes related to the progression of coronary heart disease were analyzed,and the potential target of GuanxinⅡ Formula for prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease were obtained.Results:A total of 166 differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were obtained by differential expression analysis.The gene module Black related to AMI was obtained by WGCNA.The intersection of DEGs and Black modules was used to obtain 64 genes related to coronary disease progression.A total of 224 therapeutic targets of Guanxin Ⅱ Formula were obtained from TCMSP database.The potential targets of Guanxin Ⅱ Formula for prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease were obtained by intersecting therapeutic targets with genes related to the progression of coronary heart disease,including peroxisome proliferator activating receptor(PPARG),monocyte differentiation antigen CD14(CD14)and cytochrome P4501b1(CYP1B1).Conclusion:Sixty-four genes,including cytokine signal transduction inhibitor 3(SOCS3),eosinophilic cation-associated protein(ECRP),TNFRSF10D and S100A9,might be associated with the progression of coronary heart disease.Among them,PPARG,CD14,and CYP1B1 were potential targets target of Guanxin Ⅱ Formula for prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease.
