Objective: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative joint disease, especially occur in the elderly. This study aimed to uncover a novel biomarker for early diagnosis and treatment of OA.
Methods: WGCNA, differential expression analysis and PPI network were used for screening hub genes-related to OA, utilizing the GSE55235 and GSE57218 datasets from GEO database.
Results: Based on the data in the GEO datasets, compared to normal tissues, ITGB5 was obviously elevated in OA cartilage and synovial samples. Additionally, ROC curve results validated the diagnostic value of ITGB5 in OA. Mechanistically, transcription factors KLF4 and KLF11 could modulate ITGB5 gene transcription via binding to its promoter region, thereby affecting ITGB5 gene expression in OA tissues. GSEA results showed that ITGB5 gene was closely related to p53, wnt, TNF and T cell receptor signaling pathways, suggesting that ITGB5 may play potential roles in affecting cell apoptosis and inflammation in OA. Moreover, ITGB5 levels in OA samples was positively correlated to T helper type 1 cells, natural killer T cells, macrophages, memory CD8 T cells, activated dendritic cells.
Conclusion: In this study, we found that ITGB5 was obviously elevated in OA samples. Moreover, ITGB5 may function as a diagnostic biomarker in OA.

The purpose of this study was to recognise predictive biomarkers and explore the promising therapeutic targets of AD with depression. We confirmed a positive correlation between AD and depression through MR Analysis. Through WGCNA analysis, we identified 1569 genes containing two modules, which were most related to AD.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a very poor prognosis, and the main objective of this study was to reveal the specific mechanism of action of TN-CAP1-mediated macrophage-fibroblast crossinulation in the progression of PDAC, and to evaluate the function and potential therapeutic value of ITGB5 and ITGB1 recombinant proteins in this process. The expression of TN-CAP1 in tumor tissues of PDAC patients was analyzed by immunohistochemistry and compared with normal pancreatic tissues. The co-culture system of macrophages and fibroblasts was constructed using in vitro cell culture model.

Background: Treatment options for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are limited and patients face a poor prognosis. Here, we sought to identify drugs that target TNBC vulnerabilities and understand the biology underlying these responses. We analyzed the Broad Institute DepMap to identify recurrent TNBC vulnerabilities and performed a 45-compound screen on vulnerability-related pathways on a set of up to 8 TNBC cell lines.

Background: Mechanical stretch-mediated tissue expansion is effective for obtaining extra skin and soft tissue required for the repair of defects or reconstruction of surface organs. Understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms and identifying hub genes and key cell types associated with skin expansion could help predict the success of skin growth during expansion procedures.
Methods: We analyzed murine chip sequencing data and single-cell sequencing data available from the Gene Expression Omnibus database.
