Investigating the molecular mechanism of cellular response to light radiation has attracted many researchers' attention. In the present study, the critically affected gene by 7.5 min blue light radiation in human keratinocytes was investigated via network analysis. Gene expression profiles of human keratinocytes exposed to 7.5 min blue light radiation plus controls were extracted from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). The significant dysregulated genes plus 100 first neighbors were investigated by Cytoscape software and its applications. The central nodes of the network based on four centrality parameters were determined and discussed. Among 6 significant dysregulated genes, 4 individuals were recognized by the STRING database. The network was constructed by using the 4 queried genes and 100 first neighbors. EGR1, STAT1, and ISG15 were identified as central nodes; however, the prominent role of EGR1 was highlighted. EGR1 appeared as a critically affected gene after blue light irradiation. It seems that this upregulated gene is responsible for protecting human keratinocytes against stress and cancer. Therefore, the application of blue light may be accompanied by antistress effects in the human body.
研究细胞对光辐射反应的分子机制已引起众多研究人员的关注。在本研究中,通过网络分析对人角质形成细胞中受7.5分钟蓝光辐射影响严重的基因进行了研究。从基因表达综合数据库(GEO)中提取了暴露于7.5分钟蓝光辐射的人角质形成细胞以及对照的基因表达谱。利用Cytoscape软件及其应用程序对显著失调的基因及其100个一级邻域基因进行了研究。基于四个中心性参数确定并讨论了网络的中心节点。在6个显著失调的基因中,STRING数据库识别出了4个。利用这4个查询基因及其100个一级邻域基因构建了网络。EGR1、STAT1和ISG15被确定为中心节点;然而,EGR1的突出作用尤为显著。蓝光照射后,EGR1似乎是一个受影响严重的基因。看来这个上调的基因负责保护人角质形成细胞免受应激和癌症的影响。因此,蓝光的应用可能会在人体中产生抗应激作用。
