Functional enrichment analysis was performed using DAVID, and the corresponding protein–protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed from the STRING database. Important modules were selected using the molecular complex detection algorithm, and hub genes were identified in cytoHubba. MicroRNAs targeting these DEGs were obtained from the TarBase, miRTarBase, and miRecords databases, while transcription factors (TFs) targeting DEGs were predicted from the ENCODE database. Finally, the top five DEGs were validated by quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).Results: A total of 112 DEGs (44 upregulated and 68 downregulated DEGs) were screened. Immune and inflammatory responses were significantly related in gene ontology analysis, and 18 signaling pathways were enriched according to Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis. The PPI network involving 85 nodes and 266 protein pairs indicated that IL1β, CXCL1, ICAM1, CCL5 and CCL4 showed higher degrees. qRT-PCR analysis of the top five DEGs revealed a decreasing trend in the VE-UHMWPE group compared with the UHMWPE group. Key microRNAs (hsa-miR-144, hsa-miR-21, and hsa-miR-221) and TFs (RELA and NFKB1) were predicted to be correlated with the pathogenesis of inflammatory osteolysis through microRNA-TF regulatory network analysis.Conclusion: The present study helps shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlying the changes in the wear-induced inflammatory process after blending vitamin E with UHMWPE. Hub genes including IL1β, CXCL1, ICAM1, CCL5, and CCL4, key microRNAs (hsa-miR-144, hsa-miR-21, and hsa-miR-221) and TFs (RELA and NFKB1) may serve as prognostic and therapeutic targets of inflammatory osteolysis.Keywords: inflammatory osteolysis, aseptic loosening, bioinformatics analysis, VE-UHMWPE, macrophagesLiu FDong JZhou DZhang QDove Medical Pressarticleinflammatory osteolysisaseptic looseningbioinformatics analysisve-uhmwpemacrophagesPathologyRB1-214Therapeutics.
