| Popis: | Mitral regurgitation (MR) is one of the most prevalent valvular diseases. Degenerated MR-induced volume overload leads to left atrial enlargement and eventually, atrial fibrillation (AF). AF has a negative effect on patient prognosis despite recent advances in minimal invasive transcatheter devices for valve surgery. However, more effective strategies aimed at precisely treating from pathophysiology and genetic perspective are scarce.The gene expression datasets, GSE109744 and GSE79768, were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and analyzed to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in patients with mitral value prolapse (MVP) and AF. Subsequently, we predicted the extensive miRNA targets, and the protein-protein interaction (PPI) and miRNA-target gene regulatory networks were established. Functional enrichment analyses were performed for the DEGs. In addition, the co-expressed DEGs coupled with their predicted miRNAs and disease phenotypes involved in MVP and AF were assessed. Finally, the immune infiltration in both datasets was examined.A total of 491 and 180 DEGs were identified in the mitral valve and left atrial specimens, respectively. From these, 11 integrated co-expressed DEGs were identified, namely,MR and AF are related, and 11 co-expressed DEGs were found to be significantly associated with MVP with AF, and indeed, these may represent novel biomarkers. Several immune cells were found to contribute to the process of MVP and AF via diverse mechanisms, in particular, antigen-presenting cells. |
