Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease, yet our comprehension predominantly relies on studies within non-Hispanic White (NHW) populations. Here we provide an extensive survey of the proteomic landscape of AD across diverse racial/ethnic groups.

Methods: Two cortical regions, from multiple centers, were harmonized by uniform neuropathological diagnosis.

Introduction: Multi-omics studies in Alzheimer's disease (AD) revealed many potential disease pathways and therapeutic targets. Despite their promise of precision medicine, these studies lacked Black Americans (BA) and Latin Americans (LA), who are disproportionately affected by AD.

Methods: To bridge this gap, Accelerating Medicines Partnership in Alzheimer's Disease (AMP-AD) expanded brain multi-omics profiling to multi-ethnic donors.

Article Synopsis
  • Alzheimer's disease (AD) primarily affects diverse populations, but most research has focused on the non-Hispanic White demographic, necessitating a broader understanding across different racial and ethnic groups.
  • This study involved analyzing brain tissues from donors of various racial backgrounds, utilizing mass spectrometry to examine protein levels in key brain regions related to AD, resulting in a large dataset of proteins associated with the disease.
  • The findings highlighted significant protein elevations linked to AD across all groups, emphasizing the importance of ethnoracial-specific differences in protein expression for future research and potential treatments.

We report a public resource for examining the spatiotemporal RNA expression of 54,893 genes during the first 72 h of response to rhizobial inoculation. Using a methodology that allows synchronous inoculation and growth of more than 100 plants in a single media container, we harvested the same segment of each root responding to rhizobia in the initial inoculation over a time course, collected individual tissues from these segments with laser capture microdissection, and created and sequenced RNA libraries generated from these tissues. We demonstrate the utility of the resource by examining the expression patterns of a set of genes induced very early in nodule signaling, as well as two gene families (CLE peptides and nodule specific PLAT-domain proteins) and show that despite similar whole-root expression patterns, there are tissue differences in expression between the genes.
