TYROBP serve as potential immune-related signature genes in the acute phase of intracerebral hemorrhage

Abstract

Abstract The development of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a dynamic process and intervention during the acute phase of ICH is critical for subsequent recovery. Therefore, it is crucial to screen potential signature genes and therapeutic target genes in the acute phase of ICH. In this study, based on the results of mRNA sequencing in mouse ICH and mRNA sequencing of human ICH from online databases, top five potential signature genes after ICH, Tyrobp, Itgb2, Tlr2, Ptprc and Itgam, were screened. Quantitative PCR results showed higher mRNA expression of Tyrobp, Itgb2, Tlr2, Ptprc, and Itgam in the 1-, 3- and 5-day mouse ICH groups compared to the sham-operated group. Immune infiltration correlation analysis shows that the top-ranked signature gene, Tyrobp, is negatively correlated with M2 macrophages and plasma cells, and Western blot analysis shows higher expression of the Tyrobp protein in the 1-, 3-, and 5-day mouse ICH groups compared to the sham-operated group. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry revealed that TYROBP protein expression was significantly higher in human ICH tissues than in normal brain tissues. Our results suggest that Tyrobp is a signature gene in the acute phase of ICH and may be a potential target for the treatment of the acute phase of ICH.
