| Abstract | Introduction: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestine whose cause and underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. The aim of this study was to use bioinformatics analysis to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with diagnostic and therapeutic potential in UC. Materials and methods: Three UC datasets (GSE179285, GSE75214, GSE48958) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. DEGs between normal and UC tissues were identified using the GEO2R online tool. The Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses of the DEGs were performed using Metascape. Protein-protein interaction network (PPI) analysis and visualization were performed with STRING and Cytoscape. The gene expression level of hub genes at the tissue level was obtained from the Bgee and HPA database. Finally, the miRNA gene regulatory network was constructed by Cytoscape to predict potential microRNAs (miRNAs) associated with DEGs. Results: A total of 446 DEGs were identified, consisting of 309 upregulated genes and 147 downregulated genes. The enriched functions and pathways of the DEGs include extracellular matrix, regulation of cell adhesion, inflammatory response, response to cytokine, monocarboxylic acid metabolic process, response to toxic substance. KEGG pathway analysis indicates that the genes were significantly enriched in Complement and coagulation cascades, Amoebiasis, TNF signaling pathway, bile secretion, and Mineral absorption. In combination with the results of the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and CytoHubba, 9 hub genes including CXCL8, ICAM1, CXCR4, CD44, IL1B, MMP9, SPP1, TIMP1 and HIF1A were selected. Based on the DEG-miRNAs network construction, five miRNAs including miR-93, miR106a, miR-21-5p, miR-146a-5p and miR-155-5p were identified as potential critical miRNAs. Conclusion: In summary, we identified DEGs that may be involved in the progression or occurrence of UC. A total of 446 DEGs,9 hub genes and 5 miRNAs were identified, which may be considered as biomarkers of UC. Further studies, however, are needed to elucidate the biological functions of these genes in UC. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
