Eight circadian DEGs were identified in the sustained hypoxia group and 7 distinct circadian DEGs in the prenatal adult programmed heart group, with no overlap between the two sets. The circadian interactome showed dramatic remodeling: gene pairs decreased by 67.5% (160\u201352), with three adaptive patterns (enhanced synchronicity, interaction reversal, weakened synchronicity). ASS1 emerged as the predominant co-expression hub under hypoxia (88.5% vs 11.25% in normoxia), while Bmal1-Npas2 maintained stable correlation (r\u2009=\u20090.838 vs 0.829). Pathway analysis revealed divergent enrichment profiles: 55 KEGG pathways enriched in metabolic-immune system, only 3 pathways for circadian genes, with no overlap. Disease and drug target analyses further corroborated these divergent profiles.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n
