Oxidative-Stress-Associated Molecular Signatures in Immune-Mediated Diseases: A Systematic Review Integrating Machine Learning and Systems Biology Approaches

Oxidative stress is a key contributor to the pathogenesis of immune-mediated diseases through its effects on cellular metabolism, mitochondrial function, immune signaling pathways, and inflammatory tissue injury. Disruption of redox homeostasis promotes metabolic reprogramming and persistent activation of innate and adaptive immune responses, contributing to disease progression across multiple inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. Recent advances in high throughput molecular technologies have generated large scale multi-omics datasets that enable comprehensive investigation of redox-associated mechanisms at a systems level. Integration of these datasets with computational analytical approaches has facilitated the identification of multidimensional molecular signatures associated with disease development and progression. This systematic review evaluates studies applying computational frameworks to analyze redox-related molecular data in immune-mediated diseases including multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, lupus nephritis, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren’s syndrome, and inflammatory bowel disease. Across the reviewed studies, oxidative stress associated with molecular signatures were consistently linked to immune activation, mitochondrial metabolism, and inflammatory signaling pathways. Computational analyses also identified regulatory genes involved in antioxidant defense and metabolic regulation, as well as pathways associated with regulated cell death. These findings highlight the translational potential of computational redox analysis for biomarker discovery, disease stratification, and development of targeted therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring redox balance and improving clinical management of immune-mediated diseases.
