OBJECTIVE: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disorder challenging to diagnose clinically. We focused on identifying and validating SUMOylation-related signature genes in UC and their association with immune infiltration.
METHODS: Five eligible gene expression profiles were selected from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and merged into a single dataset comprising 260 UC patients and 76 healthy controls (HC). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, and these were intersected with SUMOylation-related genes to obtain differentially expressed SUMOylation-related genes (DESRGs). Next, we identify the signature genes and validate them through comprehensive analyses employing GO, KEGG, GSVA, Lasso-cox regression, ROC curves, and clustering analysis. The infiltrating immune cells were analyzed using the CIBERSORT algorithm and Pearson correlation analysis. Finally, in vitro and in vivo experiments validated the identified signature genes.
RESULTS: PALMD, THRB, MAGED1, PARP1, and SLC16A1 were identified. Next, an excellent predictive model for UC was established and distinct subgroups of patients associated with SUMOylation were identified. Moreover, the NF-κB signaling pathway likely plays a pivotal role in the regulation of SUMOylation in UC. Additionally, we validated that the alterations in PALMD, THRB, and MAGED1 expression in LPS-induced Caco-2 cells concurred with our bioinformatics findings, particularly demonstrating statistically significant differences in PALMD and THRB expression. Finally, in a DSS-induced mouse colitis model, we observed a significant upregulation of PALMD expression. Powered by Editorial Manager® and ProduXion Manager® from Aries Systems Corporation.
CONCLUSION: This study comprehensively elucidates the biological roles of SUMOylation-related genes in UC, identifying PALMD, MAGED1, THRB, PARP1, and SLC16A1 as signature genes that represent promising biomarkers for UC diagnosis and prognosis.
