Abstract
Synaptic loss is a major pathological cause of cognitive impairment in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We integrated in vivo synaptic density imaging using synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A positron emission tomography (PET) from a prospective AD cohort with brain transcriptomic data. Partial least squares analysis identified 1,233 genes associated with synaptic loss, enriched for synaptic organization, Tau phosphorylation, cytoskeletal integrity, and ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation. Cell-type enrichment showed downregulation in glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons and upregulation in oligodendrocytes and endothelial cells. Stratification by Tau Braak staging suggested stage-dependent transcriptional programs involved in myelination and inflammation. These associations were supported by retest PET data and longitudinal analyses, which further linked progressive synaptic decline to DNA repair and telomere pathways. Proteomic profiling further highlighted mitochondrial dysfunction. Together, these findings delineate transcriptional signatures underlying synaptic decline in AD with consistency evidence across cross-sectional, retest, longitudinal, and proteomic analyses underscoring their mechanistic relevance and biomarker potential.

Tracing map
Proposed by the machine: these links were found in the paper and verified at the source, without human review. The map will receive a Zenodo DOI once one of the paper's authors has validated it with their ORCID.
What the map holds:
- 1 repository of the authors' code, each at its verified commit, with its license and how the link was found in the paper;
- 4 scripts, each with its path and the digest of its content;
- 2 matches between paragraphs of the paper and lines of the code (method lexical-v1);
- neither the text of the paper nor the code itself.
Its JSON (tracing-map.json) is deposited on Zenodo with its DOI once the map is validated.
