Introduction:
Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a prevalent chronic disease that can involve pyroptosis. The primary objective of this study was to conduct a thorough and comprehensive analysis the pyroptosis-related genes in MAFLD.
Methods:
We identified pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes (PRDEGs) in both healthy individuals and MAFLD patients. Using various bioinformatic approaches, we conducted an immune infiltration analysis from multiple perspectives.
Results:
A total of 20 pyroptosis-related LASSO genes were obtained, and 10 hub genes were used to do immune infiltration analysis. The hub genes were utilized in the construction of interaction networks between mRNA-miRNA and mRNA-TF. Immune characteristics analysis revealed multiple immune cell types significantly related to PRDEG expression, particularly genes HSP90AA1, TSLP, CDK9, and BRD4.
Conclusion:
Pyroptosis-related immune infiltration might be a mechanism of MAFLD progression and offers a research direction for potential treatment techniques.
