ABSTRACT
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a pathological process associated with various cardiovascular diseases. Upon different stimuli, neutrophils release reticular complexes known as neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Numerous researches have indicated a strong correlation between NETs and AS. However, its role in cardiovascular disease requires further investigation. By utilizing a machine learning algorithm, we examined the genes associated with NETs that were expressed differently in individuals with AS compared to normal controls. As a result, we identified four distinct genes. A nomogram model was built to forecast the incidence of AS. Additionally, we conducted analysis on immune infiltration, functional enrichment and consensus clustering in AS samples. The findings indicated that individuals with AS could be categorized into two groups, exhibiting notable variations in immune infiltration traits among the groups. Furthermore, to measure the NETs model, the principal component analysis algorithm was developed and cluster B outperformed cluster A in terms of NETs. Additionally, there were variations in the expression of multiple chemokines between the two subtypes. By studying AS NETs, we acquired fresh knowledge about the molecular patterns and immune mechanisms implicated, which could open up new possibilities for AS immunotherapy.
