BackgroundDiabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) are major clinical challenges with limited therapeutic options. While these conditions arise from different causes, they may share common molecular mechanisms that could be targeted for intervention. MethodsWe performed consensus weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) on two publicly available datasets: GSE185011 (DPN vs. healthy controls in peripheral blood mononuclear cells) and GSE173610 (paclitaxel-treated vs. control iPSC-derived sensory neurons). After filtering all but the most variable genes, consensus analysis was used to identify conserved co-expression modules across both conditions. ResultsConsensus analysis identified a 193-gene module (ME3/brown) significantly associated with both DPN (correlation=0.817, p=0.0040) and CIPN (correlation=0.971, p=0.0060). Functional enrichment analysis of this module revealed pathways related to Glycolysis, FoxO signaling, Apoptosis, and Autophagy. ConclusionsOur analysis reveals a convergent molecular signature underlying both DPN and CIPN, centered on metabolic reprogramming, transcriptional stress, and programmed cell death. These findings provide a systems-level framework for developing therapies targeting shared pathological mechanisms.

"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.
