Abstract

This study aims to discover drug targeted genes and explore the potential epigenetics mechanisms in bronchiectasis. Cis-expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) was obtained as exposure, and bronchiectasis from the FinnGen cohort was used as outcome. Mendelian Randomization (MR) was performed to identify therapeutic targets associated with bronchiectasis. Colocalization and summary-data-based MR (SMR) analyses were carried out to further confirm the causal roles of candidate genes in bronchiectasis. The value of these drug targets was validated via drug prediction and molecular docking. Finally, we used mediation analysis to identify the DNA methylation QTLs to bronchiectasis mediated by candidate genes. Ten drug targets were significantly associated with bronchiectasis. Strong evidence for the colocalization of and with bronchiectasis was found (PP.H4 > 0.75). SMR analysis revealed that higher expressions of and were linked to a higher risk of bronchiectasis, and higher expressions of , and were linked to a lower risk of bronchiectasis. Finally, mediation analysis revealed potential causality effect of the DNA methylation site cg21568453 to bronchiectasis risk via . The increased expression of regulated by DNA methylation at cg21568453 may promote the occurrence of bronchiectasis.

摘要

本研究旨在发现支气管扩张症的药物靶向基因并探索其潜在的表观遗传学机制。以顺式表达定量性状位点(eQTL)作为暴露因素,将芬兰基因队列中的支气管扩张症作为结局。进行孟德尔随机化(MR)分析以确定与支气管扩张症相关的治疗靶点。开展共定位分析和基于汇总数据的MR(SMR)分析,以进一步证实候选基因在支气管扩张症中的因果作用。通过药物预测和分子对接验证这些药物靶点的价值。最后,我们使用中介分析来确定由候选基因介导的支气管扩张症的DNA甲基化QTL。十个药物靶点与支气管扩张症显著相关。发现了[具体基因1]和[具体基因2]与支气管扩张症共定位的有力证据(PP.H4>0.75)。SMR分析显示,[具体基因3]和[具体基因4]的高表达与支气管扩张症的高风险相关,而[具体基因5]、[具体基因6]和[具体基因7]的高表达与支气管扩张症的低风险相关。最后,中介分析揭示了DNA甲基化位点cg21568453通过[具体基因8]对支气管扩张症风险的潜在因果效应。cg21568453处DNA甲基化调控的[具体基因8]表达增加可能促进支气管扩张症的发生。
