Although we reported nominally significant results ( p < 0.05) to maximize sensitivity for hypothesis generation, these results should be interpreted with caution until replicated in larger cohorts and MCC.

First, compared with the healthy group, the levels of uPA and CDCP1 proteins both showed an increasing trend in AD patients and MCI patients.
In our study, the uPA protein showed a trend of up-regulated expression in early AD compared to the healthy population, which corresponds to the protective mechanism one.
