Computational Interspecies Translation Between Alzheimer's Disease Mouse Models and Human Subjects Identifies Innate Immune Complement, TYROBP, and TAM Receptor Agonist Signatures, Distinct From Influences of Aging.

ABSTRACT: Mouse models are vital for preclinical research on Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathobiology. Many traditional models are driven by autosomal dominant mutations identified from early onset AD genetics whereas late onset and sporadic forms of the disease are predominant among human patients. Alongside ongoing experimental efforts to improve fidelity of mouse model representation of late onset AD, a computational framework termed Translatable Components Regression (TransComp-R) offers a complementary approach to leverage human and mouse datasets concurrently to enhance translation capabilities. We employ TransComp-R to integratively analyze transcriptomic data from human postmortem and traditional amyloid mouse model hippocampi to identify pathway-level signatures present in human patient sample
