ABSTRACT
Renal fibrosis plays a crucial role in the progression of renal diseases, yet the lack of effective diagnostic markers poses challenges in scientific and clinical practices. In this study, we employed machine learning techniques to identify potential biomarkers for renal fibrosis. Utilizing two datasets from the GEO database, we applied LASSO, SVM-RFE and RF algorithms to screen for differentially expressed genes related to inflammatory responses between the renal fibrosis group and the control group. As a result, we identified four genes (CCL5, IFITM1, RIPK2, and TNFAIP6) as promising diagnostic indicators for renal fibrosis. These genes were further validated through in vivo experiments and immunohistochemistry, demonstrating their utility as reliable markers for assessing renal fibrosis. Additionally, we conducted a comprehensive analysis to explore the relationship between these candidate biomarkers, immunity, and drug sensitivity. Integrating these findings, we developed a nomogram with a high discriminative ability, achieving a concordance index of 0.933, enabling the prediction of disease risk in patients with renal fibrosis. Overall, our study presents a predictive model for renal fibrosis and highlights the significance of four potential biomarkers, facilitating clinical diagnosis and personalized treatment. This finding presents valuable insights for advancing precision medicine approaches in the management of renal fibrosis.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
