To achieve this, we obtained datasets of AAA and periodontitis from the GEO database, conducted differential analysis on the AAA dataset, and performed weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) on the periodontitis dataset to preliminarily identify interacting genes via intersection. Subsequently, we refined key candidate genes by constructing a PPI network and applying three machine learning algorithms. These candidate genes were further validated through external independent datasets, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and Nomograms. Finally, single-gene Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), immune landscape analysis, and targeted drug prediction were performed on the identified key genes. In our study, a total of 323 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to AAA and 4,412 periodontitis-related module genes were identified, producing 90 interacting genes through intersection initially. Through PPI network analysis and machine learning, we prioritized 7 key interacting genes. Validation confirmed that IL1B, PTGS2, and SELL were robustly associated with both diseases. Immune landscape assessment demonstrated that these three genes exhibited significant negative correlations with regulatory T cells (Tregs) and positive correlations with neutrophil infiltration. Additionally, ten drugs with the highest predicted target specificity were identified. In conclusion, we utilized various machine learning and bioinformatics approaches to preliminarily elucidate potential comorbid mechanisms between AAA and periodontitis from a multidisciplinary perspective.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0329592","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,26]],"date-time":"2025-08-26T17:49:28Z","timestamp":1756230568000},"page":"e0329592","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Revealing potential interfering genes between abdominal aortic aneurysm and periodontitis through machine learning and bioinformatics analysis"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Zhifeng","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chunjiang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhaokun","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaoqi","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2518-3037","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Liming","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,26]]},"reference":[{"issue":"18","key":"pone.0329592.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1690","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMcp2108504","article-title":"Management of abdominal aortic aneurysms","volume":"385","author":"A Schanzer","year":"2021","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0329592.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"34","DOI":"10.1038\/s41572-018-0030-7","article-title":"Abdominal aortic aneurysms","volume":"4","author":"N Sakalihasan","year":"2018","journal-title":"Nat Rev Dis Primers"},{"issue":"4","key":"pone.0329592.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"225","DOI":"10.1038\/s41569-018-0114-9","article-title":"Abdominal aortic aneurysm: update on pathogenesis and medical treatments","volume":"16","author":"J Golledge","year":"2019","journal-title":"Nat Rev Cardiol"},{"issue":"8","key":"pone.0329592.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"907","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.9838","article-title":"Age-specific incidence, risk factors and outcome of acute abdominal aortic aneurysms in a defined population","volume":"102","author":"DPJ Howard","year":"2015","journal-title":"Br J Surg"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0329592.ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"30","DOI":"10.1038\/nri3785","article-title":"Periodontitis: from microbial immune subversion to systemic inflammation","volume":"15","author":"G Hajishengallis","year":"2015","journal-title":"Nat Rev Immunol"},{"issue":"6","key":"pone.0329592.ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"462","DOI":"10.1111\/idj.12630","article-title":"Current concepts in the management of periodontitis","volume":"71","author":"T Kwon","year":"2021","journal-title":"Int Dent J"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0329592.ref007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"26","DOI":"10.1111\/prd.12297","article-title":"The role of inflammation and genetics in periodontal disease","volume":"83","author":"BG Loos","year":"2020","journal-title":"Periodontol 2000"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0329592.ref008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"114","DOI":"10.1186\/s12920-024-01864-0","article-title":"Bioinformatics analysis revealed the potential crosstalk genes and molecular mechanisms between intracranial aneurysms and periodontitis","volume":"17","author":"Y Chen","year":"2024","journal-title":"BMC Med Genomics"},{"key":"pone.0329592.ref009","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"683","DOI":"10.3389\/fphys.2020.00683","article-title":"Potential bidirectional relationship between periodontitis and Alzheimer\u2019s disease","volume":"11","author":"D Liccardo","year":"2020","journal-title":"Front Physiol"},{"issue":"6","key":"pone.0329592.ref010","first-page":"762","article-title":"Association between chronic periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis.
