This study attempted to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and find dysregulated immune cell types in IgAV to find the underlying pathogenesis for IgAVN.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>GSE102114 datasets were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to identify DEGs. Then, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of the DEGs was constructed using the STRING database. And key hub genes were identified by cytoHubba plug-in, performed functional enrichment analyses and followed by verification using PCR based on patient samples. Finally, the abundance of 24 immune cells were detected by Immune Cell Abundance Identifier (ImmuCellAI) to estimate the proportions and dysregulation of immune cell types within IgAVN.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Result<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 4200 DEGs were screened in IgAVN patients compared to Health Donor, including 2004 upregulated and 2196 downregulated genes. Of the top 10 hub genes from PPI network,\n                      <jats:italic>STAT1, TLR4, PTEN, UBB, HSPA8, ATP5B, UBA52<\/jats:italic>\n                      , and\n                      <jats:italic>CDC42<\/jats:italic>\n                      were verified significantly upregulated in more patients. Enrichment analyses indicated that hub genes were primarily enriched in Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathway, nucleotide oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor signaling pathway, and Th17 signaling pathways. Moreover, we found a diversity of immune cells in IgAVN, consisting mainly of T cells. Finally, this study suggests that the overdifferentiation of Th2 cells, Th17 cells and Tfh cells may be involved in the occurrence and development of IgAVN.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We screened out the key genes, pathways and maladjusted immune cells and associated with the pathogenesis of IgAVN.
