This study reveals clock genes, particularly RPS27A, are linked to Myocardial Infarction (MI). These findings highlight circadian rhythm

Area Of Science

  • Cardiovascular Biology
  • Chronobiology
  • Molecular Genetics

Background

  • Circadian system disruptions are linked to Myocardial Infarction (MI).
  • Mechanisms connecting clock genes to MI pathogenesis remain unclear.
  • This study investigates the role of clock genes in MI development.

Purpose Of The Study

  • To identify clock genes differentially expressed in Myocardial Infarction (MI).
  • To elucidate the functional pathways and biological roles of these clock genes in MI.
  • To pinpoint key regulatory genes and potential therapeutic targets for MI.

Main Methods

  • Analysis of MI microarray datasets (GSE151412, GSE60993) for circadian clock gene expression.
  • Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses.
  • Lasso regression for hub gene identification, validated by qRT-PCR and additional datasets.

Main Results

  • Ten differentially expressed clock genes were identified in MI patients.
  • Enrichment analyses implicated pathways such as Gap junction and circadian rhythm.
  • RPS27A was identified as a key hub gene, with GSEA revealing links to mismatch repair and altered immune cell infiltration.

Conclusions

  • The clock gene RPS27A is associated with Myocardial Infarction (MI).
  • Circadian rhythm regulation by RPS27A may influence MI pathogenesis.
  • Findings offer insights into MI mechanisms and potential therapeutic strategies.
