Key result
Bioinformatics analysis of HF and COPD datasets identified common differentially expressed genes, including 4 transcription factors and 1408 miRNAs linked to both diseases.
Why the study?
Heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are closely related in clinical practice, but their co-genetic characteristics and potential molecular mechanisms remained to be investigated.
What are the shared genetic characteristics and potential molecular mechanisms between heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?

Bioinformatics analysis reveals shared genetic pathways, immune infiltration patterns, and regulatory networks between heart failure and COPD, suggesting potential therapeutic targets.
Heart failure (HF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are closely related in clinical practice. This study aimed to investigate the co-genetic characteristics and potential molecular mechanisms of HF and COPD. HF and COPD datasets were downloaded from gene expression omnibus database. After identifying common differentially expressed genes (DEGs), the functional analysis highlighted the critical role of extracellular matrix and ribosomal signaling pathways in both diseases. In addition, GeneMANIA's results suggested that the 2 diseases were related to immune infiltration, and CIBERSORT suggested the role of macrophages. We also discovered 4 TFs and 1408 miRNAs linked to both diseases, and salbutamol may positively affect them.
