AbstractMultiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative autoimmune and organ-specific demyelinating disorder, known to affect the central nervous system (CNS). While genetic studies have revealed several critical genes and diagnostic biomarkers associated with MS, the etiology of the disease remains poorly understood. This study is aimed at screening and identifying the key genes and canonical pathways associated with MS. Gene expression profiling of the microarray dataset GSE38010 was used to analyze two control brain samples (control 1; GSM931812, control 2; GSM931813), active inflammation stage samples (CAP1; GSM931815, CAP2; GSM931816) and late subsided stage samples (CP1; GSM931817, CP2; GSM931818) collected from patients ranging between 23 and 54 years and both genders. This analysis yielded a list of 58,866 DEGs (29,433 for active-inflammation stage and 29,433 for late-subsided Stage). The interactions between the DEGs were then studied using STRING, Cytoscape software, and MCODE was employed to find the genes that form clusters. Functional enrichment and integrative analysis were performed using ClueGO/CluePedia and MetaCore. Our data revealed dysregulated key canonical pathways in MS patients. In addition, we identified three hub genes (SCN2A, HTR2A, and HCN1) that may serve as potential biomarkers for the prognosis of MS. Furthermore, the expression patterns of HPCA and PLCB1 provide insights into the progressive stages of MS, indicating that these genes could be used in predicting MS progression. We were able to map potential biomarkers that could be used for the prognosis and diagnosis of MS. 2022 Elsevier Inc.
