Despite mounting evidence linking Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) to Alzheimer's disease (AD), the shared mechanism of these two conditions' occurrence remains unclear. This research aims to delve deeper into the molecular process of the occurrence of the two diseases. We retrieved the gene expression profiles of AD (GSE5281) and AMI (GSE66360) from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Then, a total of 22 common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) including one downregulated gene and 21 upregulated genes were chosen for further analysis. Following the discovery of the common DEGs between AMI and AD, we performed protein-protein interaction analysis and hub gene identification analysis. Next, ten important hub genes were identified. Additionally, the key genes were identified by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and support vector machine-recursive feature elimination and multivariable logistic regression analysis. The BCL6 was identified to be the most connected with AMI and AD. Finally, the BCL6 gene was validated in the GSE40680 (AMI) and GSE122063 (AD) datasets. Our research indicates that AMI and AD share a comparable pathophysiology. The Hub genes, especially BCL6, were essential in developing AMI and AD. In addition, these hub genes and shared pathways can offer fresh perspectives for additional mechanism investigation.

Background: Bioinformatics analysis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) expression profiles can aid in understanding its molecular mechanisms and identifying new targets for diagnosis and treatment.

Aim: In this study, we analyzed expression profile datasets and miRNA expression profiles related to HCC from the GEO using R software to detect differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRs).

Methods And Results: Common DEGs were identified, and a PPI network was constructed using the STRING database and Cytoscape software to identify hub genes.

Background: Post-stroke depression (PSD) is the most prevalent neuropsychiatric complication following a stroke. The inflammatory theory suggests that PSD may be associated with an overactive inflammatory response. However, research findings regarding inflammation-related indicators in PSD remain inconsistent and elusive.

Gene‒gene interactions play pivotal roles in disease pathogenesis and are fundamental in the development of targeted therapeutics, particularly through the elucidation of oncogenic gene drivers in cancer. The systematic analysis of pathways and gene interactions is critical in the drug discovery process for various cancer subtypes. SPAG5, known for its role in spindle formation during cell division, has been identified as an oncogene in several cancers, although its specific impact on AML remains underexplored.
