Unveiling the role of HIST2H2AC in stroke through single-cell and transcriptome analysis.

Abstract

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability, and genetic risk factors play a significant role in its development. Unfortunately, effective therapies for stroke are currently limited. Early detection and diagnosis are critical for improving outcomes and developing new treatment strategies. In this study, we aimed to identify potential biomarkers and effective prevention and treatment strategies for stroke by conducting transcriptome and single-cell analyses. Our analysis included screening for biomarkers, functional enrichment analysis, immune infiltration, cell-cell communication, and single-cell metabolism. Through differential expression analysis, enrichment analysis, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network construction, we identified HIST2H2AC as a potential biomarker for stroke. Our study also highlighted the diagnostic role of HIST2H2AC in stroke, its relationship with immune cells in the stroke environment, and our improved understanding of metabolic pathways after stroke. Overall, our research provided important insights into the pathogenesis of stroke, including potential biomarkers and treatment strategies that can be explored further to improve outcomes for stroke patients.
