Background: Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is associated with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Effective treatments to alleviate AD are still not currently available. Hence, we explored markers and underlying molecular mechanisms associated with AD by utilizing gene expression profiles of AD and CSVD patients from public databases, providing more options for early diagnosis and its treatment.
Methods: Gene expression profiles were collected from GSE63060 (for AD) and GSE162790 (for CSVD). Differential analysis was performed between AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or CSVD progression and CSVD no-progression. In both datasets, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with the same expression direction were identified as common DEGs. Then protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed for common DEGs. Differential immune cells and checkpoints were calculated between AD and MCI.
Results: A total of 146 common DEGs were identified. Common DEGs were mainly enriched in endocytosis and oxytocin signaling pathways. Interestingly, endocytosis and metabolic pathways were shown both from MCI to AD and from CSVD no-progression to CSVD progression. Moreover, SIRT1 was identified as a key gene by ranking degree of connectivity in the PPI network. SIRT1 was associated with obesity-related genes and metabolic disorders. Additionally, SIRT1 showed correlations with CD8 T cells, NK CD56 bright cells, and checkpoints in AD.
Conclusion: The study revealed that the progression of AD is associated with abnormalities in gene expression and metabolism and that the SIRT1 gene may serve as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of AD.

Salt tolerance is a critical trait for plant survival and productivity in saline environments. Development of salt tolerant crops is a practical strategy for addressing soil salinity issues. In this study, RNA-Seq analysis was performed using two wheat cultivars with contrasting salt tolerance (Neixiang188, tolerant and Barra, sensitive) at 6 h and 24 h after salinity treatment to determine the genetic variations reflected in the RNA expression patterns and identify key genes associated with salt tolerance.

Co-infections of different pathogenic microorganisms usually cause complex effects, and receive more attention. Red-grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) and Vibrio are the common viral and bacterial pathogens of fish, and are often detected simultaneously in diseased fish. However, the understanding of co-infection of RGNNV and Vibrio is still unclear.

Background: Chronic hand eczema (CHE) is a common skin disease with different subtypes, but knowledge of the molecular patterns associated with each subtype is limited.
Objective: To characterize the CHE transcriptome across subtypes.
Methods: Using RNA-sequencing, we studied the transcriptome of 220 full-thickness skin biopsies collected from palms, dorsa, and arms from 96 patients with CHE and/or atopic dermatitis (AD) and 32 healthy controls.

This study utilises amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson's disease (PD) human brain samples from the GEO database and employs differential expression gene (DEG) analysis to identify genes that are pivotal in both neurodegenerative diseases. Through in depth GO and KEGG enrichment analyses, we elucidated the biological functions and potential pathways associated with these DEGs. Furthermore, by constructing protein‒protein interaction networks, we highlight the significance of shared DEGs in both cellular physiology and disease contexts.
