Gene and Biochemical Pathway Evaluation of Burns Injury via Protein-Protein Interaction Network Analysis

Abstract

Background: Severe burns injury can affect several vital systems in the body and can cause inflammation in organs such as the heart, liver, and kidney. Many inflammatory mediators and regulatory hormones related to burn injuries are recognized. In this study, the genes related to burn injury interacted via network analysis, and the central nodes were enriched through gene ontology (GO). Materials and Methods: Disease query of STRING database was used for data gathering, and the network was constructed using Cytoscape software version 3.6.0. After gene screening, the central nodes were enriched via GO analysis by ClueGO. The highlighted genes and pathways were clustered and analyzed in detail. Results: Among 1067 genes, 35 critical genes that are involved in the 14 highlighted biochemical pathways were recognized. Interpretation of the finding indicates that a number of central genes can be considered as potential biomarkers related to burn injury. Conclusion: Can we revise to "Burn injuries have features that are common to several diseases and increases their risk. [GMJ.2019;8:e1257]

Assessment of Post-Radiation Time Effect on Gene Expression Profiles of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Samples After Appling a UV Laser

“…10 It should be considered that the central genes which are categorized by high amounts of fold change play an important role in determining the dysregulated biological terms such as biological processes or biochemical pathways. 11,12 Action map analysis is the other valuable method for exploring a regulatory relationship between the queried genes. In this approach, some chemical properties of the assessed genes can be determined via directed links between the genes.…”

The Highlighted Role of GAPDH and Nitric-Oxide Synthase Regulator Activity in Proton Beam Irradiated Melanoma BLM Cells

“…Those with the highest values of interaction could be more promising with regard to biomarker properties. [8][9][10] Two key criteria are usually proposed for network topological evaluation, namely degree and betweenness centrality. Proteins with the highest amount of these parameters are regarded as the central proteins (hub-bottlenecks) of a constructed network.…”
