Even though sJIA has been reported to be an autoinflammatory disorder, its exact pathogenesis remains unclear. In this study, we integrated a meta-analysis with a weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) using 5 microarray datasets and an RNA sequencing dataset to understand the interconnection of susceptibility genes for sJIA. Using the integrative analysis, we identified a robust sJIA signature that consisted of 2 co-expressed gene sets comprising 103 up-regulated genes and 25 down-regulated genes in sJIA patients compared with healthy controls. Among the 128 sJIA signature genes, we identified an up-regulated cluster of 11 genes and a down-regulated cluster of 4 genes, which may play key roles in the pathogenesis of sJIA. We then detected 10 bioactive molecules targeting the significant gene clusters as potential novel drug candidates for sJIA using an in silico drug repositioning analysis. These findings suggest that the gene clusters may be potential genetic markers of sJIA and 10 drug candidates can contribute to the development of new therapeutic options for sJIA.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms22020712","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,12]],"date-time":"2021-01-12T20:11:31Z","timestamp":1610482291000},"page":"712","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["An Integrative Transcriptomic Analysis of Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis for Identifying Potential Genetic Markers and Drug Candidates"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8331-3448","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daeun","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Life Science, Dongguk University-Seoul, Seoul 04620, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2247-3194","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaeseung","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Life Science, Dongguk University-Seoul, Seoul 04620, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sora","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Life Science, Dongguk University-Seoul, Seoul 04620, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Junghyun","family":"Jung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Life Science, Dongguk University-Seoul, Seoul 04620, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wonhee","family":"Jang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Life Science, Dongguk University-Seoul, Seoul 04620, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"71","article-title":"Incidence of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis in the United Kingdom: Estimates from a National Primary Care Dataset","volume":"58","author":"Costello","year":"2019","journal-title":"Arthritis Rheumatol."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"41","DOI":"10.1080\/14397595.2018.1514724","article-title":"Clinical practice guidance for juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) 2018","volume":"29","author":"Okamoto","year":"2019","journal-title":"Mod.
