F2F meeting Sept 2016 Work from: Simon Lovestone’s lab Presenting: Alejo J Nevado-Holgado 1) Epidemiology correlated with JAK/STAT 2) Aβ/τ contrast enriches lipids and comp. 3) Lipid metabolism in Aβ/τ contrast (Alison Braid) 4) Systematic analysis of drugs in real world data (Chi-Hun Kim) 15/10/14
Work status in WP1 • Publications funded by the consortium: • JAK-STAT correlates how protective inflammatory diseases are to Alzheimer’s disease. In preparation. • Pathways at the intersection of AD and NSAIDs. CSBJ. • Commonly prescribed drugs associate with cognitive function: a cross-sectional study in UK Biobank. BMJ Open. • Enrichment of Aβ/τ contrast. In preparation. • Plan for next year, following SAB feedback • Study whether C-Map and epidemiology further support CSF1R, P2X7 & TYK2 • In future wet-lab validation, use co-cultures and positive controls
C-Map and epidemiology: Strategy • US Ambulatory records: • 250K patients, 8 drugs max • Cmap: • ~1500 drugs, 3 lines
C-Map and epidemiology: Strategy Gene – Drug associations Drug – AD associations Gene – AD
Genes that are affected by drugs apparently protective for AD
Work status in WP1 • Next steps • Compile a list of drugs affecting CSF1R and TYK2 to different degrees and directions • Increase the number of patients on the US Ambulatory Records, from 250K to 1M or more • Investigate whether TYK2-AD and CSF1R-AD effects are strongest in some types of patients, but weaker in others. • If results are positive, attempt wet-lab validation.
