Identification of potential biomarkers and targets for myocardial infarction via genetic analysis of disulfidptosis-related genes
摘要
Disulfidptosis is characterized by the aberrant collapse of disulfide bonds in actin cytoskeleton proteins and F-actin. This study aims to explore the potential of disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs) as biomarkers and targets for myocardial infarction (MI). Eight of the 24 DRGs differently expressed in the peripheral blood samples of MI patients compared to healthy people; five of the differently expressed DRGs (TLN1, SLC3A2, NDUFA11, FLNA and CD2AP) had tolerable diagnostic capabilities and were identified as the marker DRGs of MI; the marker DRGs played a vital role in immune response, inflammatory reaction, and energy metabolism. Some of the marker DRGs were correlated with several immune cells that were involved in MI. NV-128, ME-344 and metformin hydrochloride potentially target NDUFA11; IGN523 potentially target SLC3A2; and simufilam potentially target FLNA. DRGs might have potential in diagnosing MI, and targeting disulfidptosis might offer potential therapeutic value for MI.
