Objective:
To investigate the genes associated with temporal epilepsy and explore the molecular mechanism of epilepsy.
Methods:
The microarray data of temporal epilepsy were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and analyzed by bioinformatics methods using String, KEGG and Panther databases.
Results:
Of all the 71 differentially expressed genes, 51 were found to encode proteins with interactions; the main biological pathways involved included neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions, MAPK signaling pathway, and calcium signaling pathway etc.
Conclusion:
The pathogenesis of epilepsy involves multiple genes, and investigations of these genes may provide valuable insights into the mechanism of epilepsy.
