Machine learning combined with omics-based approaches reveals T-lymphocyte cellular fate imbalance in abdominal aortic aneurysm
Through the analysis of single-cell and bulk data, hallmarks of human AAA cellular landscape and T-cell comprehensive developmental relationships were recapitulated. This study identified important roles of T-cell and the molecular mechanisms for the dynamic T-cell infiltrating process, which could characterize disease status and landscape of human AAA microenvironment. Using the deep learning algorithms, FOSB and JUNB were demonstrated as pivotal biomarkers of AAA, together with screening the potential pharmacologic agents targeting T-cell polarization. Taken together, this expands the current understanding of AAA pathogenesis and may provide a feasible immune-targeted therapeutic strategy.
