摘要
目的：系统性红斑狼疮(systemic lupus erythematosus，SLE)是一种临床表现多样、累及多个器官的自身免疫性疾病。本研究试图识别中性粒细胞相关的SLE生物标志物，为SLE的治疗和管理提供潜在的理论依据。方法：使用加权基因共表达网络分析来自基因表达汇编(Gene Expression Omnibus，GEO)数据库的SLE表达数据，并识别与中性粒细胞相关的模块。结果：鉴定出FPR1、SLC2A3、TLR2、TLR4、CXCR1、MMP25、MGAM和KLHL2共8个关键基因。8个关键基因与中性粒细胞高度相关，并且在SLE中的表达显著上调。结论：通过各种分析和验证，8个关键基因是SLE中与中性粒细胞浸润相关的潜在生物标志物，这为SLE免疫治疗提供了潜在的靶点。

Abstract
Objective: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with a large variety of clinical manifestations and involving many organs. The purpose of this study was to attempt to identify neutrophil-related SLE biomarkers to provide a potential rationale for the treatment and management of SLE. Methods: Weighted gene co-expression network analysis was used to analyze SLE expression data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and identify modules related to Neutrophils. Results: Eight key genes (FPR1, SLC2A3, TLR2, TLR4, CXCR1, MMP25, MGAM and KLHL2) were identified. Furthermore, 8 key genes were highly correlated with neutrophils and were significantly upregulated in SLE. Conclusion: Through various analyses and confirmations, 8 key genes are potential biomarkers associated with Neutrophils infiltration in SLE. It also provides a potential target for SLE immunotherapy.
