Gene co-expression network (GCN) was constructed to understand the progression of murine atherosclerosis.
Maximum changes in gene expression was observed at early stages of disease.
Genes associated with autophagy, ER stress, inflammation and neurotransmission were differentially expressed at early developmental stage
These pathways could be the danger signals which can be associated with an ongoing disease process.
Understanding these genes and associated pathways can help in developing better diagnostic and therapeutic targets for atherosclerosis.
