PG - e31050 LID - 10.1097/MD.0000000000031050 [doi] LID - e31050 AB - This study aimed to identify copper-induced death genes in primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) and explore immune infiltration, risk and drug prediction models for salivary glands (SGs) damage. The 3 datasets, including GSE40611, GSE23117, and GSE7451 from the Gene Expression Omnibus database were downloaded. The datasets were processed using the affy in R (version 4.0.3). In immune cells, copper-induced death genes were strongly expressed in "activated" dendritic cells (aDCs), macrophages and regulatory T cells (Treg). In immune functions, copper-induced death genes were strongly expressed in major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and type I interferon (IFN) response. Correlation analysis showed that 5 genes including SLC31A1, PDHA1, DLD, ATP7B, and ATP7A were significantly correlated with immune infiltration. The nomogram suggested that the low expression of PDHA1 was significant for predicting the risk of pSS and the area under curve was 0.678. Drug model suggested that "Bathocuproine disulfonate CTD 00001350," "Vitinoin CTD 00007069," and "Resveratrol CTD 00002483" were the drugs most strongly associated with copper-induced death genes. In summary, copper-induced death genes are associated with SGs injury in pSS, which is worthy of clinicians' attention. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
