The chronic inflammatory disease ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is marked by back discomfort, spinal ankylosis, and extra-articular symptoms. In AS, inflammation is responsible for both pain and spinal ankylosis. However, the processes that sustain chronic inflammation remain unknown.

Design: Datasets are collected annually by searching "osteoarthritis gene expression profile" in PubMed. Only publications containing patient data and a list of differentially expressed genes are considered.
MirDIP is a well-established database that aggregates microRNA-gene human interactions from multiple databases to increase coverage, reduce bias, and improve usability by providing an integrated score proportional to the probability of the interaction occurring. In version 5.2, we removed eight outdated resources, added a new resource (miRNATIP), and ran five prediction algorithms for miRBase and mirGeneDB.

These new PPIs provide a more complete view of disease mechanisms but precise understanding of how PPIs affect phenotype remains a challenge. It requires knowledge of PPI context (e.
