Immune cell infiltration characteristics and related core genes of bioinformatic analysis in multiple sclerosis
Abstract Background Introduction Multiple sclerosis(MS) is a common complication of uncontrolled or excessive neuroinflammation and autoimmunity disease. Advances in high-throughput technologies and available bioinformatics tools make it possible to evaluate different expressions in the whole genome instead of focusing on a limited number of genes. MethodsMaterials and methods Two public available databases GSE81279 and GSE21942 of multiple sclerosis samples were downloaded analyzed by CIBERSORT. Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway analysis based on GSEA was performed by cluster profile software to reveal the regulatory relations among genes and provided a systematic understanding of the functional differentially expressed genes at the transcriptional level.GSE81279 was used to validate the association between core genes and clinical information. ResultsFor immune cells, T-cell gamma delta and monocyte showed a trend toward reduction. The connection between the most prominent GO terms showed HBB, GATA2, NAA35, TCL1A, SECISBP2L, CLC, AGPAT5, CCR3, LTF, MALAT1, MS4A3 were significantly differentially expressed in MS. Gene set enrichment result was presented CDKN1A, DDB2, MME HMGN1, XPC, RELA for subsequent analysis.GSE81279 showed five types of immune cells revealed important links with MS. GSEA and layered KEGG analyses revealed that enrichment of immune response-related in primary immunodeficiency, it also consistent with previous studies. We got 10 genes, including HLA-DR, IL7R, HBB, TNFRSF1A, CYP27B1, NR1H3, IL2RA, TNFR1, BAFF, and CYP2R1 had close connections to clinical features. ConclusionsOur study identifies immune cell infiltration with microarray data of the plasma in MS by using CIBERSORT analysis, we also provide novel information for further study of genes of multiple sclerosis.
