Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to compare NGS-derived transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) in AD patients’ hippocampus. Methods: mRNA profiles of human hippocampus from AD patients and healthy controls were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina GAIIx. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, more than 20000 transcripts in hippocampus were detected. Top 6 genes were selected and related to “ion transport”. Correlation analysis demonstrated negative relationship of gene expression level with the neuropathologic changes.
Project description:Little is understood about the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms related to hippocampus damage and glial activation after severe cerebral hypoperfusion.Efforts to explore the relationship between neuropathological and gene expression changes support a role for identifying novel molecular pathways by transcriptomic mechanisms. To investigate hippocampus-specific transcriptome profiling after severe cerebral hypoperfusion in mice
