BackgroundAlthough the roles of m6A modification in the immune responses to human diseases have been increasingly revealed, their roles in immune microenvironment regulation in coronary heart disease (CHD) are poorly understood.MethodsThe GSE20680 and GSE20681 datasets related to CHD were acquired from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. A total of 30 m6A regulators were used to perform LASSO regression to identify the significant genes involved in CHD. Unsupervised clustering analysis was conducted using the m6A regulators to distinguish the m6A RNA methylation patterns in patients with CHD. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and biological characteristics, including GO and KEGG enrichment results, were assessed for the different m6A patterns to analyse the impacts of m6A regulators on CHD. Hub genes were identified, and subsequent microRNAs-mRNAs (miRNAs–mRNAs) and mRNAs-transcriptional factors (mRNA-TFs) interaction networks were constructed by the protein and protein interaction (PPI) network method using Cytoscape software. The infiltrating proportion of immune cells was assessed by ssGSEA and the CIBERSORT algorithm. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to detect the expression of the significant m6A regulators and hub genes.ResultsFour of 30 m6A regulators (HNRNPC, YTHDC2, YTHDF3, and ZC3H13) were identified to be significant in the development of CHD. Two m6A RNA methylation clusters were distinguished by unsupervised clustering analysis based on the expression of the 30 m6A regulators. A total of 491 genes were identified as DEGs between the two clusters. A PPI network including 308 mRNAs corresponding to proteins was constructed, and 30 genes were identified as hub genes that were enriched in the bioprocesses of peptide cross-linking, keratinocyte differentiation. Twenty-seven hub genes were found to be related to miRNAs, and seven hub genes were found to be related to TFs. Moreover, among the 30 hub genes, eight genes were found to be upregulated in CHD, and three were found to be downregulated in CHD compared to the normal people. The high m6A modification pattern was associated with a higher infiltrated abundance of immune cells.ConclusionOur findings demonstrated that m6A modification plays crucial roles in the diversity and complexity of the immune microenvironment in CHD.
Objective: The effect of mifepristone and GnRH-a on patients with endometriosis after operation. Methods: 100 cases of endometriosis treated by laparoscopic surgery in our hospital from May 2017 to October 2019 were divided into GnRH-a group (34 cases), mifepristone group (33 cases) and non-drug group (33 cases) according to the numerical random method, and the treatment effect of the three groups was compared. Result: After the drug treatment, the cumulative recurrence rate of non misoprostone group and GnRH-a group was 18.18% and 21.21%, P > 0.05 between the two groups, and 33.33% between the two groups, P < 0.05. After treatment, FSH, LH and other hormone indexes in mifepristone group were compared with those before treatment (P > 0.05), while E2 levels were compared with those before treatment (P < 0.05); FSH, LH, E2 levels in GnRH-a group were compared with those before treatment (P < 0.05), and those in mifepristone group were compared with those after treatment (P < 0.05). After treatment, the complete remission rate of the patients in the non misoprostone group and the GnRH-a group were 51.52% and 55.88%, respectively, P > 0.05 for the comparison between the groups, and 36.36% for the comparison between the patients in the non misoprostone group and the GnRH-a group, P < 0.05 for the comparison between the two groups. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Mifepristone and GnRH-a have good effect on patients with endometriosis after operation. They can effectively reduce the recurrence rate and adverse reactions after EMT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
