Acne is the eighth most frequent disease worldwide. Inflammatory response runs through all stages of acne. It is complicated and is involved in innate and adaptive immunity. This study aimed to explore the candidate genes and their relative signaling pathways in inflammatory acne using data mining analysis. Microarray data GSE6475 and GSE53795, including 18 acne lesion tissues and 18 matched normal skin tissues, were obtained. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were filtered and subjected to functional and pathway enrichment analyses. Protein–protein interaction (PPI) network and module analyses were also performed based on the DEGs. In this work, 154 common DEGs, including 145 upregulated and 9 downregulated, were obtained from two microarray profiles. Gene Ontology and pathway enrichment of DEGs were clustered using significant enrichment analysis. A PPI network containing 110 nodes/DEGs was constructed, and 31 hub genes were obtained. Four modules in the PPI network, which mainly participated in chemokine signaling pathway, cytokine–cytokine receptor interaction, and Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis, were extracted. In conclusion, aberrant DEGs and pathways involved in acne pathogenesis were identified using bioinformatic analysis. The DEGs included FPR2, ITGB2, CXCL8, C3AR1, CXCL1, FCER1G, LILRB2, PTPRC, SAA1, CCR2, ICAM1, and FPR1, and the pathways included chemokine signaling pathway, cytokine–cytokine receptor interaction, and Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis. This study could serve as a basis for further understanding the pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets of inflammatory acne.
