Abstract
(1) Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressively worsening neurodegenerative disorder affecting movement, mental well-being, sleep, and pain. While no cure exists, treatments like hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) offer potential relief. However, the molecular biology perspective, especially when intertwined with machine learning dynamics, remains underexplored. (2) Methods: We employed machine learning techniques to analyze single-cell RNA-seq data from human PD cell samples. This approach aimed to identify pivotal genes associated with PD and understand their relationship with HBOT. (3) Results: Our analysis indicated genes such as MAP2, CAP2, and WSB1, among others, as being crucially linked with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and showed their significant correlation with Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) indicatively. This suggests that certain genomic factors might influence the efficacy of HBOT in PD treatment. (4) Conclusions: HBOT presents promising therapeutic potential for Parkinson’s disease, with certain genomic factors playing a pivotal role in its efficacy. Our findings emphasize the need for further machine learning-driven research harnessing diverse omics data to better understand and treat PD.
