Cerebral cortex and microvascular fractions were isolated for qPCR and western blot analysis of microvascular functional molecules. Following differential expression analysis, we performed functional and pathway enrichment, PPI network construction, ClueGo module analysis, and CFG prioritization to screen for core genes regulating cerebral microvascular function. A comprehensive ceRNA network was then established by integrating multi-database miRNA target predictions with RNA expression correlation data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>One-month-old AD mice exhibited both reduced cerebral microvascular density and average vessel length, along with significant disruption in the expression of blood-brain-barrier proteins. Transcriptomic profiling identified 956 differentially expressed transcripts, including 539 lncRNAs, 412 mRNAs, and 5 miRNAs. By integrative bioinformatics analysis, we identified 11 hub genes primarily involved in vascular contraction and circadian regulation, and constructed a comprehensive ceRNA network comprising 7 mRNAs, 41 miRNAs, and 46 lncRNAs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our
