Therefore, it is important to identify molecular biomarkers that can diagnose the COPD phenotype to plan therapeutic efficacy. To identify potential novel biomarkers of COPD, we first obtained COPD and the normal lung tissue gene expression dataset GSE151052 from the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). A total of 250 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were investigated and analyzed using GEO2R, gene ontology (GO) functional annotation, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) identification. The GEO2R analysis revealed that TRPC6 was the sixth most highly expressed gene in patients with COPD. The GO analysis indicated that the upregulated DEGs were mainly concentrated in the plasma membrane, transcription, and DNA binding. The KEGG pathway analysis indicated that the upregulated DEGs were mainly involved in pathways related to cancer and axon guidance. TRPC6, one of the most abundant genes among the top 10 differentially expressed total RNAs (fold change ≥ 1.5) between the COPD and normal groups, was selected as a novel COPD biomarker based on the results of the GEO dataset and analysis using machine learning models. The upregulation of TRPC6 was verified in PM-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, which mimicked COPD conditions, compared to untreated RAW264.7 cells by a quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. In conclusion, our study suggests that TRPC6 can be regarded as a potential novel biomarker for COPD pathogenesis.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-method", "statement": "GEO2R (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/geo2r/ accessed on 10 January 2022) is a web tool based on the R language limma package to obtain differentially expressed genes (DEGs) for comparing more than two groups of samples [9].
