Codon Pattern and Context Analysis in Genes Triggering Alzheimer's Disease and Latent Tau Protein Aggregation Post-Anesthesia Exhibited Unique Molecular Patterns Associated with Functional Aspects

Background: Previous reports have demonstrated post-operative dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD), and increased amyloid-beta levels and tau hyperphosphorylation have been observed in animal models post-anesthesia. Objective: After surgical interventions, loss in memory has been observed that has been found linked with genes modulated after anesthesia. Present study aimed to study molecular pattern present in genes modulated post anesthesia and involved in characters progressing towards AD. Methods: In the present study, 17 transcript variants belonging to eight genes, which have been found to modulate post-anesthesia and contribute to AD progression, were envisaged for their compositional features, molecular patterns, and codon and codon context-associated studies. Results: The sequences' composition was G/C rich, influencing dinucleotide preference, codon preference, codon usage, and codon context. The G/C nucleotides being highly occurring nucleotides, CpGdinucleotides were also preferred; however, CpG was highly disfavored at p3-1 at the codon junction. The nucleotide composition of Cytosine exhibited a unique feature, and unlike other nucleotides, it did not correlate with codon bias. Contrarily, it correlated with the sequence lengths. The sequences were leucine-rich, and multiple leucine repeats were present, exhibiting the functional role of neuroprotection from neuroinflammation post-anesthesia. Conclusions: The analysis pave theway to elucidate unique molecular patterns in genes modulated during anesthetic treatment and might help ameliorate the ill effects of anesthetics in the future.
