ABSTRACT
Background:
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is inflammatory disease. So far, therapeutic mechanism of Runfuzhiyang powder on AD remains to be studied. This study aimed to mine key biomarkers to explore potential molecular mechanism for AD incidence and Runfuzhiyang powder treatment.Methods:
The control group, AD group, treat group (AD mice treated with Runfuzhiyang powder were utilized for studying. Differentially expressed AD-related genes were acquired by intersecting of key module genes related to control group, AD group and treatment group which were screened by WGCNA and AD-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs). KEGG and GO analyses were further carried out. Next, LASSO regression analysis was utilized to screen feature genes. The ROC curves were applied to validate the diagnostic ability of feature genes to obtain AD-related biomarkers. Then protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, immune infiltration analysis and single-gene gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were presented. Finally, TF-mRNA-lncRNA and drug-gene networks of biomarkers were constructed.Results:
4 AD-related biomarkers (Ddit4, Sbf2, Senp8 and Zfp777) were identified in AD groups compared with control group and treat group by LASSO regression analysis. The ROC curves revealed that four biomarkers had good distinguishing ability between AD group and control group, as well as AD group and treatment group. Next, GSEA revealed that pathways of E2F targets, KRAS signaling up and inflammatory response were associated with 4 biomarkers. Then, we found that Ddit4, Sbf2 and Zfp777 were significantly positively correlated with M0 Macrophage, and were significantly negatively relevant to Resting NK. Senp8 was the opposite. Finally, a TF-mRNA-lncRNA network including 200 nodes and 592 edges was generated, and 20 drugs targeting SENP8 were predicted.Conclusion:
4 AD-related and Runfuzhiyang powder treatment-related biomarkers (Ddit4, Sbf2, Senp8 and Zfp777) were identified, which could provide a new idea for targeted treatment and diagnosis of AD.
