The key networks associated with LN were screened out using Cytoscape software, followed by pathway enrichment analysis. The best candidate biomarkers were selected by machine learning models, further validated in a larger independent cohort. Finally, the expression of these candidate markers was verified in kidney tissue samples, and the mechanism was explored by knocking down the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 2 (ICAM2) through in vitro cell transfection with siRNA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Following the serum proteomic screening of LN, a key network of 20 proteins was identified. Machine learning models were used to select ICAM2 (CD102), metalloproteinase inhibitor 1 (TIMP1) and thrombospondin 1 (THSB1) for validation in independent cohorts. ICAM2 exhibited the highest area under the curve (AUC) value in distinguishing LN from HC (AUC=0.92) and was significantly correlated with activity index, proteinuria, albumin and anti-dsDNA antibody levels. Particularly, ICAM2 was significantly elevated in proliferative LN and was associated with specific pathological attributes, outperforming conventional parameters in distinguishing proliferative LN from non-proliferative LN. ICAM2 expression was also elevated in renal tissue samples from patients with proliferative LN. In vitro, knockdown of ICAM2 expression can inhibit the activation of the PI3K\/Akt pathway and alleviate the injury of glomerular endothelial cells.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
