description: Supplementary Table: Table S1: Differentially expressed genes in AD compared to cognitive resilience in bulk DLPFC tissue. Differential gene expression analysis was performed between AD and resilient subjects (ADvsRES) using ROSMAP bulk RNAseq data. Significant differential expression was determined using adjusted p-value (FDR) &lt; 0.1 (highlighted in red) and |FC| &gt;1.1 criteria. P-values were determined using a linear regression model accounting for confounding covariates such as sequencing batch, RNA integrity number, and postmortem interval. The column “Direction” shows significant upregulation (“UP”) or downregulation (“DOWN”) in AD versus resilience as defined above. The column “Unique ADvsRES” reports genes that were differentially expressed in ADvsRES and not in ADvsCTRL or RESvsCTRL. The column “Cognitive loss” reports genes also associated with loss of cognition (related with Table S5). Table S2: Differentially expressed genes in AD compared to cognitively healthy controls in bulk DLPFC tissue. Differential gene expression analysis was performed between AD and control subjects (ADvsCTRL) using ROSMAP bulk RNAseq data. Significant differential expression was determined using adjusted p-value (FDR) &lt; 0.1 (highlighted in red) and |FC| &gt;1.1 criteria. P-values were determined using a linear regression model accounting for confounding covariates such as sequencing batch, RNA integrity number, and postmortem interval. The column “Direction” shows significant upregulation (“UP”) or downregulation (“DOWN”) in AD versus controls as defined above. Table S3: Differentially expressed genes in resilient subjects compared to cognitively healthy controls in bulk DLPFC tissue. Differential gene expression analysis was performed between resilient and control subjects (RESvsCTRL) using ROSMAP bulk RNAseq data. Significant differential expression was determined using adjusted p-value (FDR) &lt; 0.1 (highlighted in red) and |FC| &gt;1.1 criteria. P-values were determined using a linear regression model accounting for confounding covariates such as sequencing batch, RNA integrity number, and postmortem interval. The column “Direction” shows significant upregulation (“UP”) or downregulation (“DOWN”) in resilience versus controls as defined above. Table S4: Differentially expressed genes in AD compared to subjects classified as presymptomatic in bulk DLPFC tissue. Differential gene expression analysis was performed between AD and presymptomatic subjects (ADvsPRE) using ROSMAP bulk RNAseq data. Significant differential expression was determined using adjusted p-value (FDR) &lt; 0.1 (highlighted in red) and |FC| &gt;1.1 criteria. P-values were determined using a linear regression model accounting for confounding covariates such as sequencing batch, RNA integrity number, and postmortem interval. The column “Direction” shows significant upregulation (“UP”) or downregulation (“DOWN”) in AD versus presymptomatic as defined above. Table S5: Genes associated with loss of cognition from bulk RNAseq data. The association of gene expression profiles with loss of cognition was analyzed using a proportional odds model (POM) for ordinal categorical data analysis applied to ROSMAP bulk RNAseq data. Gene expression levels were adjusted for confounding covariates prior to performing POM. The POM analysis was applied to the subjects with either no cognitive impairment, mild cognitive impairment, or AD dementia. The POM analyzed cognitive impairment as a function of gene expression and pathology status (plaque and tangle stages). P-values, adjusted for multiple hypothesis comparison using the Bonferroni correction method (column “adj.P.Val”), represent the significance of the association of each gene with cognitive status. The column “Direction” denotes whether the expression of a gene positively or negatively correlates with loss of cognition. The column “ADvsRES” denotes genes that were also differentially expressed between AD and resilient subjects, “ADvsRES dir” reports the direction in AD compared to the resilient group (related with Table S1), and “Change consistency” reports the consistency between the two analyses. Table S6: Dysregulated pathways in AD compared to cognitive resilience in bulk DLPFC. Differential pathway activity analysis was performed between AD and resilient subjects based on ROSMAP bulk RNAseq data. Significant pathway dysregulation was determined using Storey-adjusted p-value (q-value) &lt; 0.1. P-values were determined using a linear regression model that accounts for confounding covariates such as sequencing batch, RNA integrity number, and postmortem interval. Table S7: Unsupervised clusters of dysregulated pathways in AD compared to cognitive resilience from bulk DLPFC. Cluster membership for each of the 99 dysregulated pathways in ADvsRES (related to Table S6) following unsupervised clustering. Modules of dysregulated pathways in ADvsRES were determined by mapping to the pathway co-expression network followed by the Label Propagation clustering algorithm. The column “cluster” represents the unsupervised clusters assigned by the described analysis. The analysis was performed using the PanomiR package with default parameters. Table S8: Dysregulated pathways in AD compared to cognitively healthy controls in bulk DLPFC. Differential pathway activity analysis was performed between AD and control subjects based on ROSMAP bulk RNAseq data.
