Abstract
Introduction: Cold physical plasma is a growing tool in medicine that is applied for the treatment of different cancers. In the present study, the gene profiles of human melanocytes exposed to indirect cold physical plasma versus control individuals are analyzed via protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis.
Methods: The gene expression profiles were derived from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and the significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were decoded via “Expression Atlas”. PPI network analysis was applied to find the targeted central genes by indirect cold physical plasma.
Results: The main connected component of the constructed network including 74 queried DEGs and 50 added first neighbors was analyzed. Considering degree value, betweenness centrality, closeness centrality, and stress, IGF1 and HMOX1 were introduced as the central nodes.
Conclusion: The finding of this study indicates that the down-regulation of IGF1 and the upregulation of HMOX are the prominent events in response to indirect cold physical plasma treatment
at the cellular level. Detection of related biological terms via gene ontology is suggested.
