Abstract

The purpose of our study was to discover genes with significantly aberrant expression in diabetic nephropathy (DN) and to determine their potential mechanism. We acquired renal tubules, glomerulus and blood samples data from DN patients and controls from the GEO database. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in renal tubules, glomerulus and blood samples between DN patients and controls were studied. Based on these DEGs, we carried out the functional annotation and constructed protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. By comparing DN patients and controls of DEGs, we acquired the shared DGEs in renal tubules, glomerulus and blood samples of DN patients and controls. DN patients compared to controls, we obtained 3000 DEGs, 3064 DEGs, and 2296 DEGs in renal tubules, glomerulus and blood samples, respectively. The PPI networks of top 40 DEGs in renal tubules, glomerulus and blood samples was consisted of 229 nodes and 229 edges, 540 nodes and 606 edges, and 132 nodes and 124 edges, respectively. In total, 21 shared genes were finally found, including CASP3, DHCR24, CXCL1, GYPC, INHBA, LTF, MT1G, MUC1, NINJ1, PFKFB3, PPP1R3C, CCL5, SRSF7, PHLDA2, RBM39, WTAP, BASP1, PLK2, PDK2, PNPLA4, and SNED1. These genes may be associated with the DN process. Our study provides a basis to explore the potential mechanism and identify novel therapeutic targets for DN.
