Abstract

In order to further elucidate the potential correlations and treatments of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and hypertensive nephropathy (HT), bioinformatics analysis of IgAN and HT was performed. The mRNA expression profiles of human renal biopsy samples from patients with IgAN, patients with HT and pre‑transplant healthy living controls (LD) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Then, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified and functions of DEGs were analyzed. Finally, the regulatory networks containing DEGs and related‑transcription factors (TFs) were constructed using Cytoscape software. When compared with the LD group, 134 and 188 DEGs were obtained in the IgAN and HT groups, respectively. A total of 39 genes were altered in the HT group when compared with the IgAN group. In addition, 66 genes were shared in the IgAN and HT groups when compared with the LD group, 6 of which [early growth response 1, activating transcription factor 3, nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 2 (NR4A2), NR4A1, v‑maf avian musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog F and Kruppel like factor 6] were identified as TFs. In addition, DEGs including interleukin (IL) 1 receptor antagonist, collagen type 4 α2 chain, IL8, FBJ murine osteosarcoma viral oncogene homolog and somatostatin were enriched in a number of inflammation‑associated biological processes, and DEGs including structural maintenance of chromosomes protein 3, v‑crk avian sarcoma virus CT10 oncogene homolog and myosin 6 were enriched in non‑inflammation‑associated biological processes. Therefore, the differentially expressed TF genes and the genes associated with inflammation may be effective as potential therapeutic targets for IgAN and HT.
