Background. Endometriosis is an inflammatory gynecological disease leading to deep pelvic pain, dyspareunia, and infertility. The pathophysiology of endometriosis complex depends on a variety biological processes pathways. Therefore, there urgent need identify reliable biomarkers for early detection accurate diagnosis predict clinical outcomes aid in the intervention endometriosis. We screened transcription factor- (TF-) immune-related gene (IRG) regulatory networks as potential reveal new molecular subgroups Methods. To explore therapeutic targets endometriosis, Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), Immunology Database Analysis Portal (ImmPort), TF databases were used obtain data related recognition differentially expressed genes (DEGs), IRGs (DEIRGs), TFs (DETFs). Ontology (GO) Kyoto Encyclopedia Genes Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses performed DETFs DEIRGs. Then, DEIRGs further validated external datasets GSE51981 GSE1230103. we quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) verify hub genes. Simultaneously, Pearson correlation analysis protein-protein interaction (PPI) indicate mechanisms TF-IRGs at level IRGs. Finally, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was assess diagnostic value Results. total 94 121 Most downregulated showed decreased expression endometria moderate/severe patients. top-ranked upregulated endometra infertile women. Functional that may be involved behaviors pathways TF-IRG PPI network successfully constructed. Compared with control group, high C3, VCAM1, ITGB2, C3AR1 had statistical significance among They also higher sensitivity specificity by ROC compared controls, C3 VCAM1 highly tissue samples. In addition, they diagnosing Conclusion. Overall, discovered analyzed 4 closely which contributes Additionally, verified or associated clinicopathological features confirmed samples controls are helpful
