Background: Clinical associations between erectile dysfunction and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) have been noticed, but the common pathogenic mechanisms between them remain elusive. The aim of the study was to mine shared genetic alterations between ED and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome.Method: Transcriptome data of ED and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome-related genes (CPRGs) were retrieved from relevant databases and differentially expressed analysis was used to obtain significant CPRGs. Then function enrichment and interaction analyses were performed to show shared transcriptional signature, including gene ontology and pathway enrichment, the construction of protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, cluster analysis, and co-expression analysis. Hub CPRGs and key cross-link were selected by validating these genes in clinical samples, chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome and ED-related datasets. Then the miRNA-OSRGs co-regulatory network was predicted and validated. Subpopulation distribution and disease association of hub CPRGs were further identified.Result: Differentially expressed analysis revealed 363 significant CPRGs between ED and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome, functioning in inflammatory reaction, oxidative stress, apoptosis, smooth muscle cell proliferation, and extracellular matrix organization. A PPI network containing 245 nodes and 504 interactions was constructed. Module analysis depicted that multicellular organismal process and immune metabolic process were enriched. 17 genes were screened in PPI via topological algorithms, and reactive oxygen species as well as interleukin-1 metabolism were regarded as the bridging interactive mechanism. After screening and validation, a hub-CPRG signature consisting of COL1A1, MAPK6, LPL, NFE2L2 and NQO1 were identified and associated miRNA were verified. These miRNAs played an important role in immune and inflammatory response likewise. Finally, NQO1 was identified as a key genetic link between ED and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome. It was predominately enriched in corpus cavernosum endothelial cell, and correlated with other male urogenital and immune system diseases tightly.Conclusion: We identified the genetic profiles as well as corresponding regulatory network underlying interaction between ED and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome via multi-omics analysis. These findings expanded a new understanding for the molecular mechanism of ED with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
