AbstractSevoflurane is a new inhaled anesthetic, which has better physical properties than the existing inhalational anesthetics, rapid induction, less tissue uptake, and faster recovery. Sevoflurane can directly dilators cerebral blood vessels and increase cerebral blood flow, but it also reduces cerebral oxygen metabolism rate, thereby reducing cerebral blood flow. However, the role of Fgf2 and Ptpn11 in cerebral injury caused by sevoflurane anesthesia remains unclear. The sevoflurane anesthesia brain tissue datasets GSE139220 and GSE141242 were downloaded from gene expression omnibus (GEO). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed. Construction and analysis of protein-protein interaction (PPI) Network. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genome (KEGG), comparative toxicogenomics database (CTD) were performed. A heat map of gene expression was drawn. TargetScan was used to screen miRNAs regulating DEGs. 500 DEGs were identified. According to GO, in Biological Process analysis, they were mainly enriched in response to hypoxia, blood vessel development, inner ear development, neural tube closure, and aging. In Cellular Component (CC), they were mainly enriched in plasma membrane, integral component of membrane, and basal lamina. In Molecular Function (MF), they were mainly associated with protein binding, Wnt-activated receptor activity, and organic anion transmembrane transporter activity. In the KEGG analysis, they were mainly enriched in proteoglycans in cancer, pathways in cancer, transcriptional misregulation in cancer, basal cell carcinoma, thyroid hormone signaling pathway. In the Metascape enrichment analysis, the GO enrichment items revealed upregulated regulation of vascular endothelial cell proliferation, platelet-derived growth factor receptor signaling pathway, inner ear development, and response to hypoxia. A total of 20 modules were generated. Gene Expression Heatmap showed that the core genes (Fgf2, Pdgfra, Ptpn11, Slc2a1) were highly expressed in sevoflurane anesthesia brain tissue samples. CTD Analysis showed that the 4 core genes (Fgf2, Pdgfra, Ptpn11, Slc2a1) were associated with neurodegenerative diseases, brain injuries, memory disorders, cognitive disorders, neurotoxicity, drug-induced abnormalities, neurological disorders, developmental disorders, and intellectual disabilities. Fgf2 and Ptpn11 are highly expressed in brain tissue after sevoflurane anesthesia, higher the expression level of Fgf2 and Ptpn11, worse the prognosis.Copyright © 2023 the Author(s).
