Abstract
A vast number of neurodegenerative disorders arise from neurotoxicity. In neurotoxicity, more than 250 RNA molecules are up and downregulated. The manuscript investigates the exposure of chlorpyrifos organophosphate pesticide (COP) effect on total RNA in murine brain tissue in 4 genotypes for in silico neurodegeneration development. The GSE58103 dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database applies for data preprocessing, normalization, and quality control. Differential expression analysis (DEG) uses the limma package in R. Study compared expression profiles from murine fetal brain tissues across four genotypes: PON-1 knockout (KO), tgHuPON1Q192 (Q-tg), tgHuPON1R192 (R-tg), and wild-type (WT). We analyze 60 samples, 15 samples per genotype, to identify DEGs. The significance criteria are adjusted p-value <.05 and a |log2 fold change| > 1. The study identifies microRNA485 as the potential biomarker of COP toxicity using the GSE58103 dataset. Significant differences exist for microRNA485 between KO and WT groups by differential expression analysis. Moreover, graphical analysis shows sample relationships among genotype groups. MicroRNA485 represents a promising biomarker for developmental COP neurotoxicity by utilizing in silico analysis in scientific practice.
