Acute liver failure (ALF), also known as fulminant hepatitis, coagulation disorders, and worsening mental status. It has a poor prognosis and high mortality rate. Among these, the top 10 upregulated genes included GKA-DPA1, IGLL5, PLA2G7, CCL5, IGLJ, GUSBP11, RHOBT1, IGLL3P, CCL18, and ADRBK2. On the other hand, the top 10 downregulated genes were SLC6A1, PID1, AVPR1A, PP1R1A, ST3GAL6, TPST, ERO1LB, SLCO4C1, and KLF15. Furthermore, the DEGs were found to be enriched in processes related to LIAO metastasis and creighton endocrine therapy resistance. To explore the interactions among the DEGs, we constructed a PPI network. This network revealed 16 hub genes that play crucial roles in ALF pathogenesis. Within this network, hsa-mir-375 and hsa-mir-650 were identified as central nodes, indicating their potential importance in ALF. By identifying and analyzing the transcriptional-level ceRNA network, we have provided valuable insights into the etiology of ALF.
