Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the axial skeleton, characterized by immune microenvironment dysregulation and elevated cytokines like TNF-α and IL-17. Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), crucial for immune cell function and survival, is implicated in AS pathogenesis. This study explores OXPHOS-related mechanisms in AS, identifies key genes using machine learning, and highlights potential therapeutic targets for precision medicine.
