A comparison of transcriptomic studies reveals shared upregulated genes in microglia across multiple neurodegenerative diseases. ME7 Prion (57) (compared to normal brain homogenate), APPswePS1dE9 (APP/PS1) (58) (compared to age-matched control), 5XFAD (59) (compared to age-matched control), APP/PS1 end-stage microglia (60) (compared to age-matched WT controls), APP/PS1 CD11c+ microglia (61) (compared to CD11c microglia), CVN AD CD11c+ microglia (62) (compared to CVN AD CD11c microglia), SOD1 g93a ALS spinal cord microglia (63) (compared to age-matched WT controls), Human AD (64) (compared to age-matched non-demented controls), GL261 glioblastoma microglia (65) (compared to age-matched WT microglia), Human glioblastoma tissue (TCGA database; compared to non-diseased tissue); ND, not determined; Blank, unknown. += > 2-fold, ++ = > 10-fold, +++ = > 50-fold.
