Precise biomarkers and therapy targets must be developed to enhance improve diagnosis and treatment. In this study, the transcriptional profiles of 313 patients\u2019 left ventricle biopsies were obtained from the PubMed database, and functional genes that were significantly related to ischemic cardiomyopathy were screened using the Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis and protein\u2013protein interaction (PPI) networks enrichment analysis. The rat myocardial infarction model was developed to validate these findings. Finally, the putative signature genes were blasted through the common Cardiovascular Disease Knowledge Portal to explore if they were associated with cardiovascular disorder. Three interferon stimulated genes (IFIT2, IFIT3 and IFI44L), as well as key pathways, have been identified as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for ischemic cardiomyopathy, and their alternations or mutations have been proven to be strongly linked to cardiac disorders. These novel signature genes could be utilized as bio-markers or potential therapeutic objectives in precise clinical diagnosis and treatment of ischemic cardiomyopathy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms222313116","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,5]],"date-time":"2021-12-05T21:01:45Z","timestamp":1638738105000},"page":"13116","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Identified Three Interferon Induced Proteins as Novel Biomarkers of Human Ischemic Cardiomyopathy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0266-4930","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cheng","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Phytochemistry and Plant Resources in West China, Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Kunming 650201, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiao","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Phytochemistry and Plant Resources in West China, Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Kunming 650201, China"},{"name":"School of Life Sciences, Yunnan University, Kunming 650091, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0254-6520","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhicheng","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Phytochemistry and Plant Resources in West China, Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Kunming 650201, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenyong","family":"Xiong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Phytochemistry and Plant Resources in West China, Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Kunming 650201, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yingying","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemical Science & Technology, Yunnan University, Kunming 650091, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8929-4209","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shubai","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Phytochemistry and Plant Resources in West China, Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Kunming 650201, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCRESAHA.116.303577","article-title":"The Biological Basis for Cardiac Repair After Myocardial Infarction: From Inflammation to Fibrosis","volume":"119","author":"Prabhu","year":"2016","journal-title":"Circ.
