Identification of Key Ischemic Stroke Genes by Computational Systems Biology

Show abstract
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in humans. Even if patients survive from stroke, they may suffer sequelae such as disability. Treatment for strokes remains unsatisfactory due to an incomplete understanding of its mechanisms. This study investigates Ischemic Stroke (IS), a primary subtype of stroke, through analyses based on microarray data. Limma (in R)derives differentially expressed genes, and the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network is mapped from the database. Gene co-expression patterns are obtained for clustering gene modules by the Weighted Correlation Network Analysis (WGCNA), and genes with high connectivity in the significantly co-expressed modules are selected as key regulators. Common hubs are identified as Cdkn1a, Nes and Anxa2. Based on our analyses, we hypothesize that these hubs might play a key role in the onset and progression of IS. Result suggests the potential of identifying unexplored key regulators by the systemic method used in this work. Further analyses aim at expanding candidate genes for screening biomarkers for IS, and experimental validation is required on identified potential hubs.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
