The purpose of this study is to identify the key genes and pathways responsible for vitiligo and find new therapeutic targets.\nMETHODS: The datasets GSE65127, GSE53146, and GSE75819 were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. R language was used to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between lesional skin of vitiligo and non-lesional skin. Next, the key pathways were obtained by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were conducted by STRING database and Cytoscape software. Subsequently, module analysis was performed by Cytoscape. Among these results, the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and melanogenesis pathway caught our attention. The expression level of β-catenin, microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) and tyrosinase (TYR) was detected by immunofluorescence in vitiligo lesions and healthy skin. Moreover, zebrafish was treated with XAV-939, an inhibitor of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. After that, the area of melanin granules as a percentage of the head area was measured. The mRNA expression of β-catenin, lymphoid-enhancing factor 1(lef1), tyr and mitf were detected by q-PCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) in zebrafish (Danio rerio).\nRESULTS: A total of 2442 DEGs were identified, including 1068 upregulated and 1374 downregulated DEGs. The key pathways were identified by GO and KEGG analyses, such as \"NOD-like receptor signaling pathway\", \"Wnt signaling pathway\", \"Melanogenesis\", \"mTOR signaling pathway\", \"PI3K-Akt signaling pathway\", \"Calcium signaling pathway\" and \"Rap1 signaling pathway\". The immunofluorescence results showed that the level of β-catenin, MITF and TYR was significantly downregulated in vitiligo lesional skin. In zebrafish, the mean percentage area of melanin granules and the expression of β-catenin, lef1, tyr and mitf were decreased after treated with XAV-939.\nCONCLUSION: The present study identified key genes and signaling pathways associated with the pathophysiology of vitiligo. Among them, the Wnt/β-catenin pathway played an essential role in pigmentation and could be a breakthrough point in vitiligo treatment.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-method", "statement": "For two groups, data were analyzed by unpaired t-test and presented as mean ± SD.", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:34511958", "locator": "sections[11] \"Statistical Analyses\" paragraph 2", "quote": "For two groups, data were analyzed by unpaired t-test and presented as mean ± SD."}], "state": "complete"}, {"id": "claim-data-access", "statement": "Ultimately, three microarray datasets of vitiligo (GSE75819, GSE53146, GSE65127) were selected.
