Objective Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a usual clinical disease in postmenopausal women, but there is no effective therapy at present. This research designed to recognize the important changes in gene expression, and to provide clinical reference. Methods We downloaded gene expression dataset GSE56116 from GEO, and dissected of differentially expressed genes (DEG), Kyoto Gene and Genomic Encyclopedia (KEGG) expansion pathway, Gene Ontology (GO), and protein-protein interaction (PPI) cyber. In total, six hub genes, including FOS, SYK, HCK, SELL, CCR1, and NLRP3, were elected. Results The immune infiltration profiles varied significantly between osteoarthritis and normal controls. Compared with normal tissues, PMOP tissues contained a lower proportion of activated T cells CD4 memory (P <0.05). Finally, the expression levels of NLRP3 hub genes were confirmed with GSE7429. Conclusion In summary, this research helps us to realize the molecular mechanism of PMOP generation and offers a new direction for the treatment of PMOP. |
