BACKGROUND: The effects of genes on the development of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) remain to be elucidated, and reliable blood biomarkers for diagnosing IAs are yet to be established. This study aimed to identify genes associated with IAs pathogenesis and explore their diagnostic value by analyzing IAs datasets, conducting vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) experiments, and performing blood detection.

METHODS: IAs datasets were collected and the differentially expressed genes were analyzed. The selected genes were validated in external datasets. Autophagy was induced in VSMC and the effect of selected genes was determined. The diagnostic value of selected gene on the IAs were explored using area under curve (AUC) analysis using IAs plasma samples.

RESULTS: Analysis of 61 samples (32 controls and 29 IAs tissues) revealed a significant increase in expression of ADORA3 compared with normal tissues using empirical Bayes methods of "limma" package; this was further validated by two external datasets. Additionally, induction of autophagy in VSMC lead to upregulation of ADORA3. Conversely, silencing ADORA3 suppressed VSMC proliferation and autophagy. Furthermore, analysis of an IAs blood sample dataset and clinical plasma samples demonstrated increased ADORA3 expression in patients with IA compared with normal subjects. The diagnostic value of blood ADORA3 expression in IAs was moderate when analyzing clinical samples (AUC: 0.756). Combining ADORA3 with IL2RB or CCR7 further enhanced the diagnostic ability for IAs, with the AUC value over 0.83.

CONCLUSIONS: High expression of ADORA3 is associated with IAs pathogenesis, likely through its promotion of VSMC autophagy. Furthermore, blood ADORA3 levels have the potential to serve as an auxiliary diagnostic biomarker for IAs.
