Searching across hundreds of databases
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), one of the most severe and fatal cardiovascular diseases, remains the main cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The objective of this study is to investigate the potential biomarkers for AMI based on bioinformatics analysis. A total of 2102 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened out from the data obtained from the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) explored the co-expression network of DEGs and determined the key module. The brown module was selected as the key one correlated with AMI. Gene Ontology and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses demonstrated that genes in the brown module were mainly enriched in 'ribosomal subunit' and 'Ribosome'. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis revealed that 'TNFA_SIGNALING_VIA_NFKB' was remarkably enriched in AMI. Based on the protein-protein interaction network, ribosomal protein L9 (RPL9) and ribosomal protein L26 (RPL26) were identified as the hub genes. Additionally, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results indicated that the expression levels of RPL9 and RPL26 were both downregulated in AMI patients compared with controls, in accordance with the bioinformatics analysis. In summary, the identified DEGs, modules, pathways, and hub genes provide clues and shed light on the potential molecular mechanisms of AMI.

Software platform for complex network analysis and visualization. Used for visualization of molecular interaction networks and biological pathways and integrating these networks with annotations, gene expression profiles and other state data.
View all literature mentionsDatabase of known and predicted protein interactions. The interactions include direct (physical) and indirect (functional) associations and are derived from four sources: Genomic Context, High-throughput experiments, (Conserved) Coexpression, and previous knowledge. STRING quantitatively integrates interaction data from these sources for a large number of organisms, and transfers information between these organisms where applicable. The database currently covers 5''214''234 proteins from 1133 organisms. (2013)
