Though differentially expressed genes in an atherosclerotic plaque progression have been identified previously this is the first study that has combined gene expression data with proteins identified from different stages of plaque progression to identify pathways and candidate genes affecting the state of a plaque using a network approach. We constructed an unstable plaque network with 59 genes of which 9 were transcription factors 10 genes were over expressed and 12 genes were under-expressed Of all genes and proteins found to be associated with a plaque progression we further identified and prioritized candidate genes which could be potential biomarker or drug targets to prevent progression of a plaque. In this study, we also show that just differential expression of genes does not identify genes that are associated with the disease state but not differentially expressed. 000000631 540__ $$fCC BY 000000631 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000631 650__ $$aSystems Biology$$036214 000000631 650__ $$aAtherosclerosis$$036329 000000631 650__ $$aGene Expression Profiling$$032769 000000631 650__ $$aTranscriptome$$039582 000000631 650__ $$aBiomarkers$$028395 000000631 650__ $$aPlaque, Atherosclerotic$$039118 000000631 6531_ $$aplaque 000000631 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000631 692__ $$aDepartment of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology$$041422 000000631 7001_ $$aAnur, Pavana$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000631 7201_ $$aMcWeeney, Shannon$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000631 8564_ $$993d37a37-d3fc-4b10-adc4-4428183bfbb7$$s726844$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/631/files/632_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2d7dd43d8e7e353857d39265c4b03473b$$31 000000631 905__ $$a/rest/prod/w6/63/43/62/w6634362n 000000631 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:631$$pstudent-work 000000631 980__ $$aBiomedical Informatics
