Compound-Protein Interaction Analysis in Condition Following Cardiac Arrest

Background: Cardiac arrest (CA) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) relative to post- CA have attracted the attention of scientist to prevent damages, which threaten patients. In the present study, metabolites relevant to DEGs of post-CA condition investigated via protein-compound interaction to understand the pathological mechanisms in the human body. Materials and Methods: STITCH plug-in integrated into Cytoscape V.3.6.1 was used to detect the most significant interacting compounds relative to DEGs of pig’s brain after 5 minutes’ CA. The genes were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. The identified elements were considered for further evaluation and validation by literature survey. Result: Findings indicate that biochemical compounds including magnesium, calcium, glucose, glycerol, hydrogen, chloride, sulfate, and estradiol interact with DEGs in the two up- and down-regulated networks. Conclusion: The compounds interacting with DEGs are suitable subjects to analysis for re-regulation of the body after CA.
