The pathogenesis of AC is still controversial. This study aims to explore the role of immune related factors in the occurrence and development of AC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The AC dataset was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) data repository. Differentially expressed immune-related genes (DEIRGs) were obtained based on R package \u201cDESeq2\u201d and Immport database. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were performed to explore the functional correlation of DEIRGs. MCC method and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression were conducted to identify the hub genes. The immune cell infiltration in shoulder joint capsule between AC and control was evaluated by CIBERSORTx, and the relationship between hub genes and infiltrating immune cells was analyzed by Spearman\u2019s rank correlation. Finally, potential small molecule drugs for AC were screened by the Connectivity Map database (CMap) and further verified by molecular docking.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 137 DEIRGs and eight significantly different types of infiltrating immune cells (M0 macrophages, M1 macrophages, regulatory T cells, Tfh cells, monocytes, activated NK cells, memory resting CD4+T cells and resting dendritic cells) were screened between AC and control tissues. MMP9, FOS, SOCS3, and EGF were identified as potential targets for AC. MMP9 was negatively correlated with memory resting CD4+T cells and activated NK cells, but positively correlated with M0 macrophages. SOCS3 was positively correlated with M1 macrophages. FOS was positively correlated with M1 macrophages. EGF was positively correlated with monocytes. Additionally, dactolisib (ranked first) was identified as a potential small-molecule drug for the targeted therapy of AC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
