In the Alzheimer's disease group, LPS stimulated PBMCs viability, TNF-α secretion, PHA stimulated IL-10 secretion, genomic DNA methylation levels, circulating cell-free mitochondrial DNA copies, citrate synthase activity were reduced compared to the control; while the LPS stimulated PBMCs IL-1α secretion, PHA stimulated IL-1α and IFN-γ secretion, plasma IL-6 and TNF-α, mitochondrial DNA damages were increased compared to the control. The gene discussed is CS; the disease is Alzheimer disease.
