AbstractGene expression alterations occur in all mouse tissues during aging, but recent works highlight minor rather than major dysregulation amplitude for most genes, questioning whether differentially expressed genes on their own provide deep insight into aging biology. To clarify this issue, we have combined differential gene expression with weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA) to identify expression signatures accounting for the pairwise relations between gene expression profiles and the cumulative effect of genes with small fold- changes during aging in the brain, heart, liver, skeletal muscle, and pancreas of C57BL/6 mice. Functional enrichment analysis of the overlap of genes identified in both approaches showed that immunity-related responses, mitochondrial energy metabolism, tissue regeneration and detoxification are prominently altered in the brain, heart, muscle, and liver, respectively, reflecting an age-related global loss of tissue function. While data showed little overlap among the age-dysregulated genes between tissues, aging triggered common biological processes in distinct tissues, particularly proteostasis-related pathways, which we highlight as important features of murine tissue physiological aging.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common tachyarrhythmia in the clinic, leading to high morbidity and mortality. Although many studies on AF have been conducted, the molecular mechanism of AF has not been fully elucidated. This study was designed to explore the molecular mechanism of AF using integrative bioinformatics analysis and provide new insights into the pathophysiology of AF.Methods: The GSE115574 dataset was downloaded, and Cibersort was applied to estimate the relative expression of 22 kinds of immune cells. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified through the limma package in R language. Weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA) was performed to cluster DEGs into different modules and explore relationships between modules and immune cell types. Functional enrichment analysis was performed on DEGs in the significant module, and hub genes were identified based on the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Hub genes were then verified using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).Results: A total of 2,350 DEGs were identified and clustered into eleven modules using WGCNA. The magenta module with 246 genes was identified as the key module associated with M1 macrophages with the highest correlation coefficient. Three hub genes (CTSS, CSF2RB, and NCF2) were identified. The results verified using three other datasets and qRT-PCR demonstrated that the expression levels of these three genes in patients with AF were significantly higher than those in patients with SR, which were consistent with the bioinformatic analysis.Conclusion: Three novel genes identified using comprehensive bioinformatics analysis may play crucial roles in the pathophysiological mechanism in AF, which provide potential therapeutic targets and new insights into the treatment and early detection of AF.
