Differential gene expression profiling reveals potential biomarkers and pharmacological compounds against SARS-CoV-2: insights from machine learning and bioinformatics approaches
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
ABSTRACT SARS-CoV-2 continues to spread and evolve worldwide, despite intense efforts to develop multiple vaccines and therapeutic options against COVID-19. Moreover, the precise role of SARS-CoV-2 in the pathophysiology of the nasopharyngeal tract (NT) is still unfathomable. Therefore, we used the machine learning methods to analyze 22 RNA-seq datasets from COVID-19 patients (n=8), recovered individuals (n=7), and healthy individuals (n=7) to find disease-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs). In comparison to healthy controls, we found 1960 and 153 DEG signatures in COVID-19 patients and recovered individuals, respectively. We compared dysregulated DEGs to detect critical pathways and gene ontology (GO) connected to COVID-19 comorbidities. In COVID-19 patients, the DEG– miRNA and DEG–transcription factors (TFs) interactions network analysis revealed that E2F1, MAX, EGR1, YY1, and SRF were the most highly expressed TFs, whereas hsa-miR-19b, hsa-miR-495, hsa-miR-340, hsa-miR-101, and hsa-miR-19a were the overexpressed miRNAs. Three chemical agents (Valproic Acid, Alfatoxin B1, and Cyclosporine) were abundant in COVID-19 patients and recovered individuals. Mental retardation, mental deficit, intellectual disability, muscle hypotonia, micrognathism, and cleft palate were the significant diseases associated with COVID-19 by sharing DEGs. Finally, we detected DEGs impacted by SARS-CoV-2 infection and mediated by TFs and miRNA expression, indicating that SARS-CoV-2 infection may contribute to various comorbidities. These pathogenetic findings can provide some crucial insights into the complex interplay between COVID-19 and the recovery stage and support its importance in the therapeutic development strategy to combat against COVID-19 pandemic. IMPORTANCE Despite it has now been over two years since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, many crucial questions about SARS-CoV-2 infection and the different COVID-19 symptoms it causes remain unresolved. An intriguing question about COVID-19 is how SARS-CoV-2 interplays with the host during infection and how SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause so many disease symptoms. Our analysis of three different datasets (COVID-19, recovered, and healthy) revealed significantly higher DEGs in COVID-19 patients than recovered humans and healthy controls. Some of these DEGs were found to be co-expressed in both COVID-19 patients. They recovered humans supporting the notion that DEGs level is directly correlated with the viral load, disease progression, and different comorbidities. The protein-protein interaction consisting of 24 nodes and 72 edges recognized eight hub-nodes as potential hub-proteins (i.e., RPL4, RPS4X, RPL19, RPS12, RPL19, EIF3E, MT-CYB, and MT-ATP6). Protein–chemical interaction analysis identified three chemical agents (e.g., Valproic Acid, Alfatoxin B1, and Cyclosporine) enriched in COVID-19 patients and recovered individuals. Mental retardation, mental deficiency, intellectual disability, muscle hypotonia, micrognathism, and cleft palate were the significant diseases associated with COVID-19 by sharing DEGs.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
