Abstract

Liver ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury is of primary concern in cases of liver disease worldwide and is associated with hemorrhagic shock, resection and transplantation. Numerous studies have previously been conducted to investigate the underlying mechanisms of liver I/R injury, however these have not yet been fully elucidated. To determine the difference between ischemia and reperfusion in signaling pathways and the relative pathological mechanisms, the present study downloaded microarray data GSE10657 from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. A total of two data groups from 1‑year‑old mice were selected for further analysis: i) A total of 90 min ischemia; ii) 90 min ischemia followed by 1 h of reperfusion, n=3 for each group. The Limma package was first used to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). DEGs were subsequently uploaded to the Database for Annotation Visualization and Integrated Discovery online tool for Functional enrichment analysis. A protein‑protein interaction (PPI) network was then constructed via STRING version 10.0 and analyzed using Cytoscape software. A total of 114 DEGs were identified, including 21 down and 93 upregulated genes. These DEGs were primarily enriched in malaria and influenza A, in addition to the tumor necrosis factor and mitogen activated protein kinase signaling pathways. Hub genes identified in the PPI network were C‑X‑C motif chemokine ligand (CXCL) 1, C‑C motif chemokine ligand (CCL) 2, interleukin 6, Jun proto‑oncogene, activator protein (AP)‑1 transcription factor subunit, FOS proto‑oncogene, AP‑1 transcription factor subunit and dual specificity phosphatase 1. CXCL1 and CCL2 may exhibit important roles in liver I/R injury, with involvement in the immune and inflammatory responses and the chemokine‑mediated signaling pathway, particularly at the reperfusion stage. However, further experiments to elucidate the specific roles of these mediators are required in the future.
