Molecular characterization of selectively vulnerable neurons in Alzheimer's disease

Kun Leng et al.

Summary: The study reveals the molecular signature of neuronal subpopulations vulnerable to tau aggregation and death in Alzheimer's disease, validating RORB as a marker. Using single-nucleus RNA sequencing, the research identified and characterized vulnerable neurons in the entorhinal cortex, as well as a subpopulation of astrocytes likely representing reactive astrocytes.

AlzGPS: a genome-wide positioning systems platform to catalyze multi-omics for Alzheimer's drug discovery

Yadi Zhou et al.

Summary: AlzGPS is a comprehensive systems biology tool that integrates multi-omics data and biological networks to identify therapeutic targets for Alzheimer's disease, provide potential treatment information, and establish links between drugs and disease modules. This tool also includes information from over 1000 clinical trials to accelerate therapeutic development for Alzheimer's disease.

Gene co-expression in the interactome: moving from correlation toward causation via an integrated approach to disease module discovery

Paola Paci et al.

Summary: This study integrates co-expression network analysis with human interactome network to predict novel disease genes and relationships. Switch genes associated with specific disorders tend to form subnetworks in the interactome network, allowing efficient screening of potential new disease gene associations. The findings provide insights on elucidating the molecular basis of human disease and revealing commonalities between seemingly unrelated diseases.

Genome-wide meta-analysis, fine-mapping and integrative prioritization implicate new Alzheimer's disease risk genes

Jeremy Schwartzentruber et al.

Summary: A genome-wide AD meta-analysis identified 37 risk loci, including new associations near CCDC6, TSPAN14, NCK2, and SPRED2. By fine-mapping SNPs and using functional annotation, 21 SNPs with >50% probability of being causally involved in AD risk were identified. Protein interaction networks and tissue-specific expression helped prioritize genes, leading to the discovery of likely causal genes.

A genome-wide association study with 1,126,563 individuals identifies new risk loci for Alzheimer's disease

Douglas P. Wightman et al.

Summary: This study identified seven new genetic loci associated with Alzheimer's disease through a genome-wide association study, implicating microglia and immune cells in late-onset disease. The research highlights the relevance of microglia, immune cells, and protein catabolism to late-onset Alzheimer's disease, while prioritizing previously unidentified genes for further investigation. The results are expected to contribute to larger meta-analyses to uncover additional genetic variants affecting Alzheimer's pathology.

Advancing the use of genome-wide association studies for drug repurposing

William R. Reay et al.

Summary: Genome-wide association studies have provided important biological insights into complex diseases, offering opportunities for drug repurposing. Leveraging common variant genetics through approaches such as single-loci mapping to drug targets, transcriptome-wide association studies, gene-set association, causal inference by Mendelian randomization, and polygenic scoring, researchers aim to identify new treatment options more efficiently.

Endophenotype-based in silico network medicine discovery combined with insurance record data mining identifies sildenafil as a candidate drug for Alzheimer's disease

Jiansong Fang et al.

Summary: Using a network-based discovery approach, the authors identified sildenafil as a repurposable drug for Alzheimer's disease, and found that its usage was associated with a significantly reduced risk of AD diagnosis. The study also developed a methodology for AD drug repurposing based on endophenotype disease modules, and experimental evidence showed potential beneficial effects of sildenafil on AD.
