Briefly, SH-SY5Y and SH-SY5Y-APP cells were harvested, processed and read on an Illumina microarray platform. Total RNA was extracted from three biological replicates. Cells were washed twice, scraped in ice-cold PBS and centrifuged for 5 min at 500 g, 4 °C. The cell pellet obtained was resuspended in TRIzol Reagent (Invitrogen) for RNA extraction, followed by purification using the RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen) according to the instructions of the manufacturer. DNA contamination was removed by DNase treatment using the RNase-Free DNase Set (Qiagen) during the RNA purification step. RNA quantification was carried out using a Nanodrop spectrophotometer. Biotinylated complementary RNA was then generated from 400 ng of the harvested RNA using the Illumina TotalPrep RNA Amplification Kit, and hybridized to the HumanHT-12 v4 Expression BeadChips (Illumina), which contains 47 231 probes against known genes. Data collection was carried out by scanning in an Illumina BeadStation array reader. The data were processed and controlled for quality using BeadStudio 3.2 (Illumina), and subsequently imported into GeneSpring GX 11.5 (Agilent) for analysis. Differential gene lists were generated based on a fold change of >1.5. Statistical significance was established at p-value < 0.05 according to the unpaired Student’s t-test with the Benjamini–Hochberg multiple testing correction.

ADNI Genotype Data Processing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Data used in the preparation of this article were obtained from the ADNI database (http://www.loni.ucla.edu/ADNI). The Illumina SNP genotyping data, demographic information, APOE genotype and baseline diagnosis information from 754 ADNI-1 participants, including 213 cognitive normal individual controls, 175 AD patients, and 366 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) were downloaded from ADNI database. All participants provided written informed consent and study protocols were approved by participating sites’ Institutional Review Board.
SNP genotyping of 620,901 markers on ADNI-1 participants were generated using Illumina BeadStudio 3.2 software from bead intensity data. All SNP genotypes are publicly available for download at the ADNI website. For genotype imputation analysis, only SNPs fulfilling the following criteria were included (1) per-SNP call rate ≥ 0.98; (2) minor allele frequency (MAF) ≥ 0.01; (3) P-value for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) ≥ 10–6 in our sample set. Imputation was performed using the software MACH-ADMIX42 (link) using the 1000 Genomes Project Phase 3 V.5 (http://www.internationalgenome.org) as a reference panel. We excluded SNPs with R2 < 0.3, MAF < 0.01 and all INDELs from the imputed genotype data to obtain genotypes for 7,512,167 SNPs for subsequent association analyses.

Optimizing Genome-Wide Linkage Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genotype data were generated using Illumina BeadStudio 3.2 software. PLINK package [17 (link)]was used to remove non-autosomal SNPs and to further eliminate typing errors and uninformative markers. The exclusion criteria were minor allele frequency < 0.01, SNP call rate < 90%, and deviation from Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (p < 0.001). MERLIN program [18 (link)] was used to identify mistyped SNPs that are inconsistent with Mendelian inheritance. Moreover, to avoid bias in linkage calculation due to linkage disequilibrium (LD), one of each pair of SNPs was removed if the value of r2 is greater than 0.3. A total of 117 158 SNPs were included in linkage analysis ultimately.

The bead intensities were mapped to gene information using BeadStudio 3.2 (Illumina). Background correction was performed using the Affymetrix Robust Multi-array Analysis (RMA) background correction model (Irizarry et al, 2003 ). Variance stabilization was performed using the log2 scaling, and gene expression normalization was calculated with the method implemented in the lumi package of R-Bioconductor. Data post-processing and graphics were performed with in-house developed functions in Matlab (MathWorks™). Hierarchical clustering of genes and samples was performed with one minus correlation metric and the unweighted average distance (UPGMA) (also known as group average) linkage method.
The GO terms were taken from the AMIGO gene ontology database (Ashburner et al, 2000 (link)). The significance of the GO terms of the DEGs was addressed calculating the P-values using an enrichment approach based on the hypergeometric distribution. All the sets of GO terms were back-propagated from the final term appearing in the gene annotation to the root term of each GO. The multi-test effect influence was corrected by controlling the false discovery rate using the Benjamini–Hochberg correction at a significance level α = 0.05.
