Identification and validation of differentially expressed disulfidptosis-related genes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases with no effective treatment due to its complex pathogenesis. A novel cell death, disulfidptosis, has been extensively studied in the cancer field but rarely in cardiovascular diseases. This study revealed the potential relationship between disulfidptosis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and put forward a predictive model containing disulfidptosis-associated genes (DRGs) of GYS1, MYH10, PDMIL1, SLC3A2, CAPZB, showing excellent performance by SVM machine learning model. The results were further validated by western blot, RNA sequencing and immunohistochemistry in a TAC mice model. In addition, resveratrol was selected as a therapeutic drug targeting core genes using the CTD database. In summary, this study provides new perspectives for exploring disulfidptosis-related biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
