N2 - Objective: This study utilizes integrated bioinformatics to investigate Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) and pathways related to ulcerative colitis (UC). Material and Method: Differentially Expressed Genes were identified from UC patients' colonic mucosal samples and controls using GSE13367 and GSE134025 datasets. Differentially Expressed Genes selection utilized GEO2R and Venn diagrams, followed by functional annotation, pathway analysis, PPI determination via the STRING database, and GO/KEGG enrichment analysis using Metascape. Result and Discussion: Analysis unveiled 197 DEGs, with 76 up-regulated and 121 down-regulated genes. Up-regulated genes were enriched in humoral immune response, peptidoglycan binding, and NADPH oxidase complex, while down-regulated genes were linked to inorganic anion transport, transmitter-gated ion channel activity, and integral plasma membrane components. In the PPI network, up-regulated DEGs formed a dense network (75 nodes, 190 edges), indicating significant interactions, whereas down-regulated DEGs formed a less dense network (114 nodes, 63 edges). Five hub genes (CXCR4, CXCL13, CXCL1, MMP3) were identified among the 197 DEGs. These findings provide new insights into UC's causes and offer promise for more effective therapeutic approaches.
