Mainstream transcriptome profiling of susceptibility versus resistance to age-related diseases (ARDs) focuses on differentially expressed genes (DEGs) specific to gender, age, and pathogeneses. In this study, the periaqueductal gray (PAG) transcriptome of tame versus aggressive rats was sequenced and compared with known ARD-linked DEGs in animals. The analysis revealed significant correlations between behavior-related DEGs and ARD-susceptibility-related DEGs. With human ARD susceptibility and resistance DEGs as controls, a common molecular marker for ARDs was identified: excess expression of Fc gamma receptor IIb suppressing immune cell hyperactivation.
Mainstream transcriptome profiling of susceptibility versus resistance to age-related diseases (ARDs) is focused on differentially expressed genes (DEGs) specific to gender, age, and pathogeneses. This approach fits in well with predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory medicine and helps understand how, why, when, and what ARDs one can develop depending on their genetic background. Within this mainstream paradigm, we wanted to find out whether the known ARD-linked DEGs available in PubMed can reveal a molecular marker that will serve the purpose in anyone's any tissue at any time. We sequenced the periaqueductal gray (PAG) transcriptome of tame versus aggressive rats, identified rat-behavior-related DEGs, and compared them with their known homologous animal ARD-linked DEGs. This analysis yielded statistically significant correlations between behavior-related and ARD-susceptibility-related fold changes (log(2) values) in the expression of these DEG homologs. We found principal components, PC1 and PC2, corresponding to the half-sum and the half-difference of these log(2) values, respectively. With the DEGs linked to ARD susceptibility and ARD resistance in humans used as controls, we verified these principal components. This yielded only one statistically significant common molecular marker for ARDs: an excess of Fc gamma receptor IIb suppressing immune cell hyperactivation.
