    BackgroundIntracranial aneurysm (IA), known as the intracranial "unscheduled bomb," is one of the most dangerous cerebrovascular diseases, with unclear pathogenesis. This study aimed to show the mechanisms and identify the new biological targets by applying bioinformatics analysis.MethodsExpression profiling for control superficial temporal artery and IA walls in GSE26969 and GSE75436 datasets were downloaded. By executing the LIMMA package in R software, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were filtered, and the functional enrichments were consequently performed. Further cross-linking with the 2483 immune-related genes (IRGs) from the ImmPort database, the differentially expressed IRGs were identified. Based on them, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator logistic regression and support vector machine-recursive feature elimination algorithms were used to screen the biomarkers, which were validated in the GSE54083 datasets. The CIBERSORT algorithm was applied to evaluate the infiltration of immune cells in tissues.ResultsA total of 668 DEGs were obtained, and the functional enrichment suggested that they were closely related to the immune process. After intersecting them with the IRGs, 90 differentially expressed IRGs emerged, and ADIPOQ and ESM1 were identified as the biomarkers. Besides, we found that the infiltrated immune cells, such as the mast cells resting, might be associated with them.ConclusionsWe explored the contributing factors involving IA, which may generate a better understanding of the complex interactions among them and inspire a promising strategy for clinical works.Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
