The molecular mechanism of ferroptosis-induced spontaneous abortion based on bioinformatics approach

Spontaneous abortion (SA) is a prevalent placental dysfunction, and ferroptosis may play a crucial role in placental dysfunction and the development of SA. In this study, we employed data mining and analysis techniques to investigate the biological mechanism of SA induced by ferroptosis, resulting in the identification of a total of 79 ferroptosis-related genes in SA were identified. Among them, 3 co-expression modules of ferroptosis risk genes, ten significant functions and six biologically significant pathways were obtained 61 pairs of differentially expressed miRNA-ferroptosis factor relationships were identified, and WIPI1 and GSN were expressed at significantly higher levels in SA. This is extremely helpful for future research on SA.
