Differential Expression and miRNA–Gene Interactions in Early and Late Mild Cognitive Impairment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) are complex diseases with their molecular architecture not elucidated. APOE, Amyloid Beta Precursor Protein (APP), and Presenilin-1 (PSEN1) are well-known genes associated with both MCI and AD. Recently, epigenetic alterations and dysregulated regulatory elements, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), have been reported associated with neurodegeneration. In this study, differential expression analysis (DEA) was performed for genes and miRNAs based on microarray and RNA-Seq data. Global gene profile of healthy individuals, early and late mild cognitive impairment (EMCI and LMCI, respectively), and AD was obtained from ADNI Cohort. miRNA global profile of healthy individuals and AD patients was extracted from public RNA-Seq data. DEA performed with limma package on ADNI Cohort data highlighted eight differential expressed (DE) genes (AGER, LINC00483, MMP19, CATSPER1, ARFGAP1, GPER1, PHLPP2, TRPM2) (false discovery rate (FDR) p-value < 0.05) between EMCI and LMCI patients. Previous molecular studies showed associations between these genes with dementia and neurological-related pathways. Five dysregulated miRNAs were identified by DEA performed with RNA-Seq data and edgeR (FDR p-value < 0.002). All reported miRNAs in AD interact with the aforementioned genes. Our integrative transcriptomic analysis was able to identify a set of miRNA–gene interactions that may be involved in cognitive and neurodegeneration processes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
