Tauopathies is one of the most widely accepted hypotheses. In this study, the molecular network was established and the expression pattern of the core gene was analyzed, confirming that the dysfunction of protein folding and degradation is one of the critical factors for AD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study analyzed 9 normal people and 22\u2009AD patients\u2019 microarray data obtained from GSE1297 in Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The matrix decomposition analysis was used to identify the correlation between the molecular network and AD. The mathematics of the relationship between the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the expression level of the genes involved in the molecular network was found by Neural Network (NN). Furthermore, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) model was for classification according to the expression value of genes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The difference of eigenvalues is small in first three stages and increases dramatically in the severe stage. For example, the maximum eigenvalue changed to 0.79 in the severe group from 0.56 in the normal group. The sign of the elements in the eigenvectors of biggest eigenvalue reversed. The linear function of the relationship between clinical MMSE and gene expression values was observed. Then, the model of Neural Network (NN) is designed to predict the value of MMSE based on the linear function, and the predicted accuracy is up to 0.93. For the SVM classification, the accuracy of the model is 0.72.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study shows that the molecular network of protein folding and degradation represented by \u201cBAG2-HSC70-STUB1-MAPT\u201d has a strong relationship with the occurrence and progression of AD, and this degree of correlation of the four genes gradually weakens with the progression of AD. The mathematical mapping of the relationship between gene expression and clinical MMSE was found, and it can be used in predicting MMSE or classification with high accuracy. These genes are expected to be potential biomarkers for early diagnosis and treatment of AD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnagi.2023.1090400","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,12]],"date-time":"2023-05-12T05:42:48Z","timestamp":1683870168000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["The relationship between protein modified folding molecular network and Alzheimer\u2019s disease pathogenesis based on BAG2-HSC70-STUB1-MAPT expression patterns analysis"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Xiaolong","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenbo","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xuehui","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhengkun","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xinping","family":"Pang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ji","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chaoyang","family":"Pang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"5891","DOI":"10.1091\/mbc.e05-07-0660","article-title":"BAG-2 Acts as an Inhibitor of the Chaperone-associated Ubiquitin Ligase CHIP","volume":"16","author":"Arndt","year":"2005","journal-title":"MBoC"},{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"382","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijbiomac.2020.11.192","article-title":"Review on Alzheimer\u2019s disease: inhibition of amyloid beta and tau tangle formation","volume":"167","author":"Ashrafian","year":"2021","journal-title":"Int.
