文摘
- •
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.
