Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic and refractory inflammatory disease of the colon rectum. This study utilized bioinformatics methods to explore potential Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) metabolism-related genes (NMRGs) as key in UC. Using GSE87466 dataset, differentially expressed NMRGs were identified through differential expression analysis, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), NMRG scoring. These used exposure factors, with UC outcome, identify causal candidate Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Key further validated biomarkers using machine learning validation external datasets (GSE75214, GSE224758). A nomogram based on levels these was constructed predict risk, biomarkers' real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Subsequently, signaling pathway enrichment immune infiltration drug prediction conducted comprehensively understand biological roles human body. Single-cell (GSE116222) spatial transcriptomic analyses (GSE189184) revealed patterns specific cell types. NCF2, IL1B, S100A8, SLC26A2 biomarkers, NCF2 IL1B serving protective factors S100A8 risk for The demonstrated strong predictive value. Functional significant pathways such IL-4 IL-13 signaling, while strongly associated respiratory electron transport. Significant differences cells, macrophages neutrophils, also observed. showed high monocytes, primarily epithelial intestinal mast cells. Overall, findings reveal NMRGs, providing valuable insights into diagnosis treatment patients.
