Vascular diseases, including peripheral arterial disease (PAD), pulmonary arterial hypertension, and atherosclerosis, significantly impact global health due to their intricate relationship with vascular remodeling. This process, characterized by structural alterations in resistance vessels, is a hallmark of heightened vascular resistance seen in these disorders. The influence of environmental estrogenic endocrine disruptors (EEDs) on the vasculature suggests a potential exacerbation of these alterations. Our study employs an integrative approach, combining data mining with bioinformatics, to unravel the interactions between EEDs and vascular remodeling genes in the context of PAD. We explore the molecular dynamics by which EED exposure may alter vascular function in PAD patients. The investigation highlights the profound effect of EEDs on pivotal genes such as ID3, LY6E, FOS, PTP4A1, NAMPT, GADD45A, PDGF-BB, and NFKB, all of which play significant roles in PAD pathophysiology. The insights gained from our study enhance the understanding of genomic alterations induced by EEDs in vascular remodeling processes. Such knowledge is invaluable for developing strategies to prevent and manage vascular diseases, potentially mitigating the impact of harmful environmental pollutants like EEDs on conditions such as PAD.
血管疾病,包括外周动脉疾病(PAD)、肺动脉高压和动脉粥样硬化,由于它们与血管重塑的复杂关系,对全球健康产生了重大影响。这一过程以阻力血管的结构改变为特征,是这些疾病中血管阻力增加的一个标志。环境雌激素内分泌干扰物(EEDs)对脉管系统的影响表明这些改变可能会加剧。我们的研究采用了一种综合方法,将数据挖掘与生物信息学相结合,以揭示在PAD背景下EEDs与血管重塑基因之间的相互作用。我们探讨了EED暴露可能改变PAD患者血管功能的分子动力学。该研究突出了EEDs对ID3、LY6E、FOS、PTP4A1、NAMPT、GADD45A、PDGF - BB和NFKB等关键基因的深远影响,所有这些基因在PAD病理生理学中都发挥着重要作用。我们研究中获得的见解增进了对EEDs在血管重塑过程中诱导的基因组改变的理解。这些知识对于制定预防和管理血管疾病的策略非常宝贵,有可能减轻像EEDs这样的有害环境污染物对PAD等病症的影响。
