Abstract
The causes of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and the pathobiological mechanisms associating it with its comorbidities remain challenging to identify. This study uses network biology to identify AS-related proteins (ASrp) and shared proteins between AS and its comorbidities. A carefully selected set of keywords was used to search against biological and literature databases, generating a total of 56,519 ASrp. From these, 6,474 highly confident ASrp were obtained. The AS protein–protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using 6,474 ASrp, from which highly connected interactions were created. Fisher's exact test, ClueGO and MCODE algorithms were used to identify the highly connected regions in the AS subnetworks, leading to the identification of shared protein clusters. The pathway enrichment analysis on AS-disease subnetworks using comorbidity data revealed 24 comorbidities in 24 AS PPI subnetworks associated with 151 shared ASrp. The top ten key ASrp in subnetworks 1, 4, 17, and 22 represent the association between AS, spondyloarthritis, cardiovascular disease, rheumatic fever, vasculitis, COVID-19, and Guillain–Barre syndrome. The top ten key ASrp were MMP1, HLA-B27, IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, APOE, TIMP1, IFN-β, and TGF-β. All shared ASrp and pathways involved biological processes, including negative immune responses, inflammatory responses, musculoskeletal pain development, cytoskeletal development, and cartilage development.
