Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Previous findings on clinical epidemiology and molecular epidemiology have shown that blood stasis syndrome of coronary heart disease has a certain familial aggregation tendency, and its related differential genes are closely associated with inflammation, plaque formation and vascular endothelial damage.
OBJECTIVE: To analysis the bioinformatics of differential genes correlated with blood stasis syndrome of coronary heart disease.
METHODS: Based on the epidemiological survey, differential genes related to blood stasis syndrome of coronary heart disease were identified using gene chip technology. The latest versions of bioinformatics tools including DAVID, GO were combined to assign a precise function to differential genes correlated with coronary heart disease; KEGG, BIOCARTA and BBIOD were used to analyze the signaling pathway; VISANT and DIP to retrieve precise protein-protein interactions.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Differential genes were mainly involved in 43 biological processes, 3 cellular components, and 6 molecular functions. These proteins mainly participated in 10 signal transduction pathways, and interacted in many ways. There were 189 nods and 5 path mappings, and overall 29 nod functions were observed. The functions, signal transduction pathways and interactions of differential genes related to blood stasis syndrome of coronary heart disease are mainly reflected in inflammatory response, immune response, cytokine chemotaxis and cell proliferation. Genome bioinformatics technology can make predictions of TCM syndromes from a “holistic view”, and this technology further combined with molecular biology validation is a very good way in the modernization of Chinese medicine.
