Uncovering the role of integrated stress in Alzheimer's disease through single-cell and transcriptomic analysis.

ABSTRACT: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder; however, its molecular complexity remains poorly understood. Single-cell analysis can reveal the molecular changes in AD in different types of brain cells. In this study, we integrated single-cell sequencing and transcriptome data to explore the molecular mechanism of integrated stress response (ISR) in AD. Analysis of the GSE264648 (49 cases) and GSE48350 (253 cases) datasets showed that the integrated stress response (ISR) activity of endothelial cells in patients with AD was significantly increased compared with normal control group. Six key genes (BTG1, EPB41L4A, HERPUD1, SLC3A2, SLC7A11, and SLC7A5) were screened by combining the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression and the random forest alg
