Project description:Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by memory impairment. Neuroinflammatory processes, mediated by glial and immune cells, contribute to neuronal damage. Emerging evidence implicates innate immune mechanisms, including trained immunity and cell trans-differentiation, in AD pathogenesis, though their roles remain unclear. Objective: To investigate transcriptomic changes in the 3xTg-AD mouse model, focusing on trained immunity and cell trans-differentiation in disease mechanisms. Methods: RNA-sequencing was performed on brain tissue (cortex plus hippocampus) from 11-month-old female 3xTg-AD and wild-type mice (n = 3/group). Differentially expressed genes (fold change > 1.5, p < 0.05) were identified and followed by bioinformatics and knowledge-based transcriptomic profiling. Public AD datasets were also analyzed. Results: 3xTg-AD mice exhibited 316 upregulated and 412 downregulated genes. Downregulated genes included those for blood-brain barrier protein, while upregulated genes related to cerebrospinal fluid. Increased expression of proinflammatory markers, as well as genes related to cell differentiation, proliferation, activation, and adhesion. Upregulation of genes associated with cell migration and trans-differentiation suggests a potential role for inflammation and cellular plasticity. Additionally, genes involved in inflammasome pathways, immunometabolism, and trained immunity were upregulated. Mechanistically, these genes were modulated by knockdown of trained immunity promoter SET-7, overexpression of trained immunity inhibitor IL-37, and knockout of inflammasome genes IL-1 receptor, caspase-1, and pattern recognition receptor CD36. Conclusions: The finding underscore the potential role of trained immunity and cell trans_x0002_differentiation in AD, revealing a mechanistic framework in which danger-associated molecular patterns drive innate immune responses, inflammasome activation, and cell plasticity contribute to AD, offering therapeutic targets for neuroinflammation and cellular reprograming.
