Abstract
Interferons play a major role in microglial-mediated neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We investigated the interferon transcriptome (AD versus non-AD) using N9 and murine microglia. We identified 64 interferon-related differentially expressed genes (DEG) in LPS-stimulated N9 microglia versus control cells, 26 DEG in microglia from 5XFAD versus wild-type mice, with 13 DEG common to both datasets. Network analyses identified potential key mediators (Cxcl10, Ifit3) of the interferon response in AD. Gene-drug interaction analysis identified therapeutics targeting interferon-related genes. These data characterize the microglial interferon response in AD, providing new targets and therapeutics directed towards interferon-related neuroinflammation in AD.
