A computational approach for the identification of key genes and biological pathways of chronic lung diseases: a systems biology approach

Abstract Background Chronic lung diseases are characterized by impaired lung function. Given that many diseases have shared clinical symptoms and pathogenesis, identifying shared pathogenesis can help the design of preventive and therapeutic strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the proteins and...

description Abstract Background Chronic lung diseases are characterized by impaired lung function. Given that many diseases have shared clinical symptoms and pathogenesis, identifying shared pathogenesis can help the design of preventive and therapeutic strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the proteins and pathways of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and mustard lung disease (MLD). Methods and results After collecting the data and determining the gene list of each disease, gene expression changes were examined in comparison to healthy individuals. Protein–protein interaction (PPI) and pathway enrichment analysis were used to evaluate genes and shared pathways of the four diseases. There were 22 shared genes, including ACTB, AHSG, ALB, APO, A1, APO C3, FTH1, GAPDH, GC, GSTP1, HP, HSPB1, IGKC, KRT10, KRT9, LCN1, PSMA2, RBP4, 100A8, S100A9, TF, and UBE2N. The major biological pathways in which these genes are involved are inflammatory pathways. Some of these genes activate different pathways in each disease, leading to the induction or inhibition of inflammation. Conclusion Identification of the genes and shared pathways of diseases can contribute to identifying pathogenesis pathways and designing preventive and therapeutic strategies.
