Abstract
Objectives
Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) is a risk gene for schizophrenia and involved in neurodevelopment and synaptic plasticity. Polymorphisms in NRG1 may affect psychotic symptoms in schizophrenia. This study investigated the effects of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs6982890 on peripheral plasma NRG1 immunoreactivity, clinical symptoms and cognitive functions in schizophrenia patients.
Material and methods
We recruited subjects from the Han population of northern China from 2010 to 2022. We first genotyped and analyzed 6 NRG1 SNPS in 1304 patients with schizophrenia and 871 healthy controls. Then, 91 patients with schizophrenia and 40 healthy controls were selected to detect the peripheral plasma NRG1 immunoreactivity by ELISA. Among them, 84 patients were divided into rs6982890 genotypes to analyze the correlation between NRG1 immunoreactivity and clinical symptoms.
Results
Rs6982890 allelic frequencies were statistically significant between patients and controls. Baseline peripheral plasma NRG1 immunoreactivity in patients were significantly lower than controls. NRG1 immunoreactivity in patients were significantly increased after 8 weeks of antipsychotic treatment and significantly correlated with clinical symptoms and cognitive function. Genotyping of patients with SNP rs6982890 indicated NRG1 immunoreactivity in CC genotype increased significantly after treatment, while CT genotype had no significant change. Baseline NRG1 immunoreactivity with the CT genotype were significantly higher than CC genotype.
Conclusions
NRG1 SNP rs6982890 is significantly associated with schizophrenia in the Han population of northern China, and it may affect the effect of antipsychotic drug treatment by regulating the peripheral plasma NRG1 immunoreactivity.
期刊介绍：
The Brain Research Bulletin (BRB) aims to publish novel work that advances our knowledge of molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie neural network properties associated with behavior, cognition and other brain functions during neurodevelopment and in the adult. Although clinical research is out of the Journal''s scope, the BRB also aims to publish translation research that provides insight into biological mechanisms and processes associated with neurodegeneration mechanisms, neurological diseases and neuropsychiatric disorders. The Journal is especially interested in research using novel methodologies, such as optogenetics, multielectrode array recordings and life imaging in wild-type and genetically-modified animal models, with the goal to advance our understanding of how neurons, glia and networks function in vivo.
