“…Through the analysis of the joint algorithm, we finally obtained 10 genes most associated with AD as Hub genes (NOX5, DUOX2, ALOX15B, CDKN2A, BAP1, HMGB1, IFNA17, BRD4, P4HB, PPARD). DUOX2 ( Samadi et al, 2011 ), CDKN2A ( Tedde et al, 2011 ; Antonell et al, 2016 ), HMGB1 ( Alabed et al, 2021 ; Tanaka et al, 2021 ; Gao et al, 2022 ), BRD4 ( Nikkar et al, 2022 ; Zhang et al, 2022 ) and PPARD ( Holzapfel et al, 2006 ; Helisalmi et al, 2008 ) have been experimentally validated in the pathogenesis of AD, but NOX5, ALOX15, B, BAP1, IFNA17 and P4HB have never been studied to confirm their association with AD. The current study demonstrates that NOX5 is highly expressed in the CNS and that upregulation of its expression level can induce inflammation by mediating COX2 activation or the PG pathway ( Marqués et al, 2020 ).…”
