Abstract
Pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 in early pregnancy may face an increased risk of miscarriage due to immune imbalance at the maternal-fetal interface. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the crosstalk between COVID-19 infection and recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) remain poorly understood. This study aimed to elucidate the transcriptomic molecular dialogue between COVID-19 and RSA. Based on bioinformatics analysis, 307 common differentially expressed genes were found between COVID-19(GSE171110) and RSA(GSE165004). Common DEGs were mainly enriched in ribosome-related and cell cycle-related signaling pathways.Using degree algorithm, the top 10 hub genes (RPS27A, RPL5, RPS8, RPL4, RPS2, RPL30, RPL23A, RPL31, RPL26, RPL37A) were selected from the common DEGs based on their scores. The results of the qPCR were in general agreement with the results of the raw letter analysis. The top 10 candidate drugs were also selected based on P-values. In this study, we provide molecular markers, signaling pathways, and small molecule compounds that may associate COVID-19. These findings may increase the accurate diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 patients.
