Objective This study aims to investigate and analyze the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in CD34 + hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) through bioinformatics analysis, ultimate goal of uncovering potential molecular mechanisms underlying pathogenesis MDS. The findings this are expected provide novel insights into clinical treatment strategies for Methods Initially, we downloaded three datasets, GSE81173, GSE4619, GSE58831, public Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database as our training sets, selected GSE19429 dataset validation set. To ensure data consistency comparability, standardized sets removed batch effects using ComBat algorithm, thereby integrating them a unified gene expression dataset. Subsequently, conducted differential analysis identify significant changes levels across different disease states. In order enhance prediction accuracy, incorporated six common predictive models trained based on filtered After comprehensive evaluation, ultimately algorithms—Lasso regression, random forest, support vector machine (SVM)—as core models. more precisely pinpoint closely related characteristics, utilized aforementioned learning methods took intersection these results, yielding robust list associated features. Following this, in-depth key set validated results independently Furthermore, performed groups, co-expression enrichment delve deeper roles initiation progression. Through analyses, aim new foundations diagnosis treatment. Figure illustrates preprocessing workflow study. Results Our CD34+ revealed differences patterns compared control group (individuals without MDS). Specifically, two genes, IRF4 ELANE, were notably downregulated HSCs MDS patients, indicating their downregulatory pathological process Conclusion sheds light MDS, particular focus pivotal ELANE pathogenic genes. perspective understanding complexity exploring therapeutic strategies.
