Dysregulations of C1QA, C1QB, C1QC and C5AR1 as candidate biomarkers of vascular dementia.

ABSTRACT: Vascular dementia (VaD) is the second most common cause of dementia. Few bioinformatic analysis has been done to explore its biomarkers. This study aimed to excavate potential biomarkers for VaD using bioinformatic analysis and validate them at both animal and patient levels. Based on microarray data of GSE122063, bioinformatic analysis revealed 502 DEGs in the frontal and 674 DEGs in the temporal cortex of VaD patients. Afterward, the hub genes between two regions, including C1QA, C1QB, C1QC, and C5AR1, were dugout. Interestingly, compared with sham mice or controls, the above four complements were highly expressed in the cortices of VaD animals and in the peripheral serum of VaD patients. Moreover, receiver operating characteristic curve analysis conformed to good diagnostic powers of th
