How does SPI1 transcriptionally regulate C1QA and C1QC expression in atherosclerotic contexts?

PARTIALLY ADDRESSED

The authors identify SPI1 as a potential transcription factor regulating the hub genes but provide no mechanistic details of this regulatory relationship. Given SPI1's role in microglial activation and neuroinflammation, this regulatory circuit may be relevant to cerebrovascular disease and neurodegeneration. Gap type: unexplained_observation Source paper: An integrative analysis of single-cell and bulk transcriptome and bidirectional mendelian randomization analysis identified C1Q as a novel stimulated risk gene for Atherosclerosis.
