Abstract

Abstract Background Autophagy refers to the process of breaking down and recycling damaged or unnecessary components within a cell to maintain cellular homeostasis. Heart failure (HF) is a severe medical condition that poses a serious threat to the patient's life. Autophagy is known to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of HF. However, our understanding of the specific mechanisms involved remains incomplete. Here, we identify autophagy-related genes (ARGs) associated with HF, which we believe will contribute to further comprehending the pathogenesis of HF. Methods By searching the GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus) database, we found the GSE57338 dataset, which was related to ischemic HF. ARGs were obtained from the HADb and HAMdb databases. Annotation of GO and enrichment analysis of KEGG pathway were carried out on the differentially expressed ARGs (AR-DEGs). We employed machine learning algorithms to conduct a thorough screening of significant genes and validated these genes by analyzing external dataset GSE76701 and conducting mouse models experimentation. At last, immune infiltration analysis was conducted, target drugs were screened and a TF regulatory network was constructed. Results Through processing the dataset with R language, we obtained a total of 442 DEGs. Additionally, we retrieved 803 ARGs from the database. The intersection of these two sets resulted in 15 AR-DEGs. Upon performing functional enrichment analysis, it was discovered that these genes exhibited significant enrichment in domains related to "regulation of cell growth", "icosatetraenoic acid binding", and "IL-17 signaling pathway". After screening and verification, we ultimately identified 4 key genes. Finally, an analysis of immune infiltration illustrated significant discrepancies in 16 distinct types of immune cells between the HF and control group and up to 194 potential drugs and 16 TFs were identified based on the key genes. Conclusion In this study, TPCN1, MAP2K1, S100A9, and CD38 were considered as key autophagy-related genes in HF. With these relevant data, further exploration of the molecular mechanisms of autophagy in HF can be carried out.
