(Submitter supplied) Understanding the mechanisms involved in cognitive resilience in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) represents a promising strategy to identify novel treatments for dementia in AD. Previous findings from our group revealed that the study of aged-Tg2576 cognitive resilient individuals is a suitable tool for this purpose. Here, by performing a transcriptomic analysis of the prefrontal cortex of demented and resilient Tg2576 mice, we have been able to hypothesize that pathways involved in inflammation, amyloid degradation, memory function and neurotransmission may be playing a role on cognitive resilience in AD. more...

(Submitter supplied) Aging is the primary risk factor of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the molecular events occurring during brain aging are extremely complex and still largely unknown. For a better understanding of these age-associated modifications, animal models as close as possible to humans are needed. We thus analyzed the transcriptome of the temporal cortex of the primate Microcebus murinus using human oligonucleotide microarrays (Affymetrix). more...

Analysis of temporal cortex of young adult, old healthy, and Alzheimer’s disease (AD-like) animals. AD-like animals presented ß-amyloid plaques and cortical atrophy, which are signs of AD in humans. Results provided insight into molecular basis of physiological versus pathological brain aging.

(Submitter supplied) Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by progressive neuropathology and cognitive decline. We performed a cross-tissue analysis of methylomic variation in AD using samples from three independent human post-mortem brain cohorts. We identified a differentially methylated region in the ankyrin 1 (ANK1) gene that was associated with neuropathology in the entorhinal cortex, a primary site of AD manifestation. more...

(Submitter supplied) This dataset contains microarray data from normal controls (aged 20-99 yrs) and Alzheimer's disease cases, from 4 brain regions: hippocampus, entorhinal cortex, superior frontal cortex, post-central gyrus. Changes in expression of synaptic and immune related genes were analyzed, investigating age-related changes and AD-related changes, and region-specific patterns of change. These AD cases were processed simultaneously with the control cases (young and aged) included in GSE11882 (GSE11882 dataset contains data exclusively from normal control brains).

(Submitter supplied) This dataset of cognitively normal controls is a subset of the GSE48350 dataset, which additionally contains microarray data from AD brains. Gene expression profiles were assessed in the hippocampus (HC), entorhinal cortex (EC), superior frontal gyrus (SG), and postcentral gyrus (PCG) across the lifespan of 63 cognitively intact individuals from 20-99 years old. New perspectives on the global gene changes that are associated with brain aging emerged, revealing two overarching concepts. more...

(Submitter supplied) Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia but has no effective treatment. A comprehensive investigation of cell-type-specific responses and cellular heterogeneity in AD is required to provide precise molecular and cellular targets for therapeutic development. Accordingly, we perform single-nucleus transcriptome analysis of 169,496 nuclei from the prefrontal cortical samples of AD patients and normal control (NC) subjects. more...
