Abstract
BACKGROUND: Intracranial aneurysm (IA) rupture leads to deadly subarachnoid hemorrhages. However, the mechanisms leading to rupture remain poorly understood. Altered gene expression within IA tissue is linked to the pathobiology of aneurysm development and progression. Here, we analyzed expression patterns of control tissue samples and compared them to those of unruptured and ruptured IA tissue samples using data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). METHODS: FASTQ files for 21 ruptured IAs, 21 unruptured IAs, and 16 control tissue samples were accessed from the GEO database. DESeq2 was used for differential expression analysis in three comparisons: unruptured IA versus control, ruptured IA versus control, and ruptured versus unruptured IA. Genes that were differentially expressed in multiple comparisons were evaluated to find those progressively increasing/decreasing from control to unruptured to ruptured. Significance was tested by either analysis of variance/Gabriel or Brown-Forsythe/Games Howell (p < 0.05 was considered significant). We used additional RNA sequencing and proteomics datasets to evaluate if our differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were present in other studies. Bioinformatics analyses were performed with g:Profiler and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. RESULTS: In total, we identified 1768 DEGs, of which 318 were found in multiple comparisons. Unruptured versus control reflected vascular remodeling processes, while ruptured versus control reflected inflammatory responses and cell activation/signaling. When comparing ruptured to unruptured IAs, we found massive activation of inflammation, inflammatory responses, and leukocyte responses. Of the 318 genes in multiple comparisons, 127 were found to be significant in the multi-cohort correlation analysis. Those that progressively increased (70 genes) were associated with immune system processes, while those that progressively decreased (38 genes) did not return any gene ontology terms. Many of our DEGs were also found in the other IA tissue sequencing studies. CONCLUSIONS: We found unruptured IAs relate more to remodeling processes, while ruptured IAs reflect more inflammatory and immune responses.
