Abstract
Arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) of the lower limbs is a common peripheral arterial disease encountered in clinical practice, which has caused a large numbers of amputation in middle-aged and elderly individuals. The treatments of ASO are frequently associated with restenosis and adverse events after surgical recanalization. In this study, bioinformatics were used to analyze 75 ASO patients from two GEO databases. Multi-algorithm joint filtering of key mutation sites, biological function annotation and intervened disease model verification were performed to screen out the core genes that may be related to pathological vascular remodeling. Genes with higher expression in occlusive lower extremity artery than the normal, which may undergo pathogenic mutations, were conjectured to result a more profound adverse influence on vascular structure. Our study reveales that matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) has recurring harmful up-regulated in occlusive artery and inhibition of MMP9-related proteins decreases the degree of foam in smooth muscle cells in vitro and in vivo. Based on this, we conclude that MMP9 may play a key role in the onset and progression of ASO in lower extremity artery by controlling smooth muscle cell phenotypic shift.
