Despite the effectiveness of chemotherapy, many relapse cases are being reported, highlighting the need for improved treatments. This study aimed to address this issue by discovering biomarkers through the analysis of gene expression data specific to cHL. Additionally, potential anticancer inhibitors were explored to target the discovered biomarkers. This study proceeded by retrieving microarray gene expression data from cHL patients, which was then analyzed to identify significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Functional and network annotation of the upregulated genes revealed the active involvement of matrix metallopeptidase 12 (MMP12) and C-C motif metallopeptidase ligand 22 (CCL22) genes in the progression of cHL. Additionally, the mentioned genes were found to be actively involved in cancer-related pathways, i.e., oxidative phosphorylation, complement pathway, myc_targets_v1 pathway, TNFA signaling via NFKB, etc., and showed strong associations with other genes known to promote cancer progression. MMP12, topping the list with a logFC value of +6.6378, was selected for inhibition using docking and simulation strategies. The known anticancer compounds were docked into the active site of the MMP12 molecular structure, revealing significant binding scores of \u22127.7 kcal\/mol and \u22127.6 kcal\/mol for BDC_24037121 and BDC_27854277, respectively. Simulation studies of the docked complexes further supported the effective binding of the ligands, yielding MMGBSA and MMPBSA scores of \u221278.08 kcal\/mol and \u221282.05 kcal\/mol for MMP12-BDC_24037121 and \u221248.79 kcal\/mol and \u221249.67 kcal\/mol for MMP12-BDC_27854277, respectively. Our findings highlight the active role of MMP12 in the progression of cHL, with known compounds effectively inhibiting its function and potentially halting the advancement of cHL. Further exploration of downregulated genes is warranted, as associated genes may play a role in cHL. Additionally, CCL22 should be considered for further investigation due to its significant role in the progression of cHL.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules29153476","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,25]],"date-time":"2024-07-25T08:40:04Z","timestamp":1721896804000},"page":"3476","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Insights into the Gene Expression Profile of Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Study towards Discovery of Novel Therapeutic Targets"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7108-0541","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdulaziz A.","family":"Aloliqi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Basic Health Sciences, College of Applied Medical Sciences, Qassim University, Buraydah 52571, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Achkova, D.
