Gene Expression Omnibus was utilized to acquire the PAH datasets. We recognized differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and investigated their functions utilizing R software. Weighted gene coexpression network analysis, least absolute shrinkage and selection operators, and support vector machines were used to identify biomarkers. The extent of immune cell infiltration in the normal and PAH tissues was determined using CIBERSORT. Additionally, the association between diagnostic markers and immune cells was analyzed. In this study, 258DEGs were used to analyze the disease ontology. Most DEGs were linked with atherosclerosis, arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and lung disease, including obstructive lung disease. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that compared to normal samples, results from PAH patients were mostly associated with ECM-receptor interaction, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, the Wnt signaling pathway, and focal adhesion. FAM171B was identified as a biomarker for PAH (<jats:inline-formula>\n                     <a:math xmlns:a=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\">\n                        <a:mtext>area<\/a:mtext>\n                        <a:mtext>\u2009<\/a:mtext>\n                        <a:mtext>under<\/a:mtext>\n                        <a:mtext>\u2009<\/a:mtext>\n                        <a:mtext>the<\/a:mtext>\n                        <a:mtext>\u2009<\/a:mtext>\n                        <a:mtext>curve<\/a:mtext>\n                        <a:mo>=<\/a:mo>\n                        <a:mn>0.873<\/a:mn>\n                     <\/a:math>\n                  <\/jats:inline-formula>). The mechanism underlying PAH may be mediated by nave CD4 T cells, resting memory CD4 T cells, resting NK cells, monocytes, activated dendritic cells, resting mast cells, and neutrophils, according to an investigation of immune cell infiltration. FAM171B expression was also associated with resting mast cells, monocytes, and CD8 T cells. The results suggest that PAH may be closely related to FAM171B with high diagnostic performance and associated with immune cell infiltration, suggesting that FAM171B may promote the progression of PAH by stimulating immune infiltration and immune response. This study provides valuable insights into the pathogenesis and treatment of PAH.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/1878766","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,22]],"date-time":"2022-09-22T21:05:14Z","timestamp":1663880714000},"page":"1-24","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["FAM171B as a Novel Biomarker Mediates Tissue Immune Microenvironment in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2022","author":[{"given":"Lai-Hao","family":"Qu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiothoracic Surgery, The First People\u2019s Hospital of Kunming City & Ganmei Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, Kunming, 650000 Yunnan Province, China"},{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, Kunming Yan\u2019an Hospital Affiliated to Kunming Medical University, Kunming, 650000 Yunnan Province, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wen-Juan","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, The First People\u2019s Hospital of Kunming City & Ganmei Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, Kunming, 650000 Yunnan Province, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhi-Guo","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiothoracic Surgery, The First People\u2019s Hospital of Kunming City & Ganmei Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, Kunming, 650000 Yunnan Province, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2048-9483","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Wen-Pan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiothoracic Surgery, The First People\u2019s Hospital of Kunming City & Ganmei Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, Kunming, 650000 Yunnan Province, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCRESAHA.113.301129"},{"issue":"12","key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"25S","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2004.02.033","article-title":"Pathologic assessment of vasculopathies in pulmonary hypertension","volume":"43","author":"G.
