Abstract
Objectives: Adipogenesis, the process of fat accumulation in adipose tissue, is closely linked to obesity, a condition characterized by excessive fat storage. Genetic factors significantly contribute to an individual's susceptibility to adipogenesis and the development of obesity.
Methods: In this study, we conducted a comprehensive bioinformatic analysis, including Weighted Gene Co-expression Analysis, differentially expressed gene analysis, and protein-protein interaction analysis, to identify hub genes and miRNAs associated with obesity.
Results: Our findings highlight the potential involvement of genes such as ATP5F1A, FN1, CCl2, RPS14, and RPS16, as well as miRNAs including hsa-miR-6844, hsa-miR-4528, hsa-miR-3686, hsa-miR-3124-3p, hsa-miR-381-3p, and hsa-miR-300 in obesity.
Conclusions: The findings from this study contribute to the growing knowledge of adipogenesis and obesity genetics, and provide potential biomarkers for further investigation and translation into clinical or research applications.
