Introduction:
Genetic factors play a major part in mediating intracranial aneurysm (IA) rupture. However, research on the role of transcription factors (TFs) in IA rupture is rare.
Aims:
Bioinformatics analysis was performed to explore the TFs and related functional pathways involved in IA rupture.
Results:
A total of 63 differentially expressed transcription factors (DETFs) were obtained. Significantly enriched biological processes of these DETFs were related to regulation of myeloid leukocyte differentiation. The top 10 DETFs were screened based on the MCC algorithm from the protein-protein interaction network. After screening and validation, it was finally determined that CEBPB may be the hub gene for aneurysm rupture. The GSEA results of CEBPB were mainly associated with the inflammatory response, which was also verified by the experimental model of cellular inflammation in vitro.
Conclusion:
The inflammatory and immune response may be closely associated with aneurysm rupture. CEBPB may be the hub gene for aneurysm rupture and may have diagnostic value. Therefore, CEBPB may serve as the diagnostic signature for RIAs and a potential target for intervention.
