To investigate the genetic crosstalks linking the mechanisms of chronic periodontitis (CP) and Alzheimer's disease (AD).
CP has been demonstrated to be a risk factor for increased cognitive impairment in patients with AD. However, there is still no report using a systematic method to investigate the shared genetic mechanisms between both diseases. 

The datasets regarding CP were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The differential expression analysis was performed to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Afterward, the genes related to AD were downloaded from the DisGeNET database. The intersection between DEGs in CP and AD-related genes was defined as the crosstalk genes between CP and AD. The Boruta algorithm was used for feature selection of crosstalk genes, and thus the representative crosstalk genes were obtained. In addition, the support vector machine (SVM) model was constructed by using the python and scikit-learn algorithm. The crosstalk genes-TFs network and crosstalk genes-DEP (differentially expressed pathways) network were constructed. Finally, the overlapping genes between crosstalk genes and CP-related genes from DisGeNET were obtained and identified to be the most critical crosstalk genes. 

Four datasets (GSE23586, GSE16134, GSE10334, and GSE79705) regarding chronic periodontitis were included for the analysis. A total of 48 crosstalk genes were selected by using the Boruta algorithm. Three TFs (FOS, MEF2C, and USF2) and several pathways (i.e., JAK-STAT, MAPK, NF-kappa B, and Natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity) were identified to regulate crosstalk genes. The overlap between 48 crosstalk genes and CP-related genes in DisGeNET was determined to be: C4A, C4B, CXCL12, FCGR3A, IL1B, and MMP3.
The biomarkers (C4A, C4B, CXCL12, FCGR3A, IL1B, and MMP3) might be used for developing the chairside kit to predict the risk of suffering AD in periodontitis patients; or therapeutic targets for preventing and treating neurodegeneration in periodontitis patients.
