Early stage diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) is challenging without significant motor symptoms. The identification of effective molecular biomarkers as a hematological indication of PD may help improve the diagnostic timeliness and accuracy. In this paper, we analyzed and compared the blood samples of PD and control (CTR) patients to identify the disease-related changes and determine the putative biomarkers for PD diagnosis. Based on the RNA sequencing analysis, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, and the co-expression network of DEGs was constructed using the weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA). The analysis leads to the identification of 87 genes that were exclusively regulated in the PD group, whereas 66 genes were significantly increased and 21 genes were significantly decreased in contrast to the control group. The results indicate that the core lncRNA-mRNA co-expression network greatly changes the immune response in PD patients. Specifically, the results showed that PWAR6, LINC00861, AC83843.1, IRF family, IFIT family and CaMK4 may play important roles in the immune system of PD. Based on the findings from this the present study, future research aims at identify novel therapeutic strategies for PD.
