Data screening and analysis revealed that CDK1 (cyclin-dependent kinase 1), STAT1 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 1), COL1A2 (collagen type I alpha 2 chain), and COL1A1 (collagen type I alpha 1 chain) exhibited significantly differential expression in AKI-associated gene expression datasets. This evidence concerns the gene COL1A1 and acute kidney injury.
