Sequencing data for COVID-19 (GSE157103), influenza (GSE185576), and HIV (GSE195434) were retrieved from the GEO database. Commonly expressed differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified across the three datasets, followed by immune infiltration analysis and diagnostic ROC analysis on the DEGs. Functional enrichment analysis was performed using GO/KEGG and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA). Hub genes were screened through a Protein-Protein Interaction networks (PPIs) analysis among DEGs. Analysis of miRNAs, transcription factors, drug chemicals, diseases, and RNA-binding proteins was conducted based on the identified hub genes. Finally, quantitative PCR (qPCR) expression verification was undertaken for selected hub genes.
The analysis of the three datasets revealed a total of 22 shared DEGs, with the majority exhibiting an area under the curve value exceeding 0.7. Functional enrichment analysis with GO/KEGG and GSEA primarily highlighted signaling pathways associated with ribosomes and tumors. The ten identified hub genes included IFI44L, IFI44, RSAD2, ISG15, IFIT3, OAS1, EIF2AK2, IFI27, OASL, and EPSTI1. Additionally, five crucial miRNAs (hsa-miR-8060, hsa-miR-6890-5p, hsa-miR-5003-3p, hsa-miR-6893-3p, and hsa-miR-6069), five essential transcription factors (CREB1, CEBPB, EGR1, EP300, and IRF1), and the top ten significant drug chemicals (estradiol, progesterone, tretinoin, calcitriol, fluorouracil, methotrexate, lipopolysaccharide, valproic acid, silicon dioxide, cyclosporine) were identified.
This research provides valuable insights into shared molecular targets, signaling pathways, drug chemicals, and potential biomarkers for individuals facing the complex intersection of COVID-19, influenza, and HIV. These findings hold promise for enhancing the precision of diagnosis and treatment for individuals with HIV co-infected with COVID-19 and influenza.
■COVID-19(GSE157103)的测序数据,流感(GSE185576),和HIV(GSE195434)从GEO数据库中检索。在三个数据集中鉴定了常见表达的差异表达基因(DEGs),然后对DEGs进行免疫浸润分析和诊断性ROC分析。使用GO/KEGG和基因组富集分析(GSEA)进行功能富集分析。通过DEG之间的蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用网络(PPI)分析筛选了Hub基因。miRNA的分析,转录因子,药物化学品,疾病,和RNA结合蛋白是基于鉴定的hub基因进行的。最后,对选择的hub基因进行定量PCR(qPCR)表达验证。
■对三个数据集的分析显示,共有22个共享DEG,大多数曲线下面积值超过0.7。GO/KEGG和GSEA的功能富集分析主要突出了与核糖体和肿瘤相关的信号通路。确定的十个hub基因包括IFI44L,IFI44,RSAD2,ISG15,IFIT3,OAS1,EIF2AK2,IFI27,OASL,和EPSTI1。此外,五个关键的miRNA(hsa-miR-8060,hsa-miR-6890-5p,hsa-miR-5003-3p,hsa-miR-6893-3p,和hsa-miR-6069),五种必需转录因子(CREB1、CEBPB、EGR1、EP300和IRF1),和十大重要药物化学物质(雌二醇,黄体酮,维甲酸,骨化三醇,氟尿嘧啶,甲氨蝶呤,脂多糖,丙戊酸,二氧化硅,环孢菌素)被鉴定。
■这项研究为共享分子靶标提供了有价值的见解,信号通路,药物化学品,以及面临COVID-19、流感复杂交集的个体的潜在生物标志物,和艾滋病毒。这些发现有望提高同时感染COVID-19和流感的HIV患者的诊断和治疗的准确性。
