Comparison of microRNA expression levels in patients with schizophrenia before and after electroconvulsive therapy.
Objective: Exploring the role of microRNAs in the antipsychotic efficacy of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) will contribute to understanding the underlying mechanism through which ECT exerts its therapeutic effects. The primary objective of this study was to identify microRNA alterations before and after ECT in patients with schizophrenia.
Methods: We compared microarray-based microRNA profiles in peripheral blood from eight patients with schizophrenia before and after ECT and eight healthy controls. Then, we aimed to validate selected differentially expressed microRNAs in 30 patients with schizophrenia following a course of ECT, alongside 30 healthy controls by using quantitative reverse-transcription PCR.
Results: Microarray-based expression profiling revealed alterations in 681 microRNAs when comparing pre- and post-ECT samples. Subsequent quantitative reverse-transcription PCR analysis of the selected microRNAs (miR-20a-5p and miR-598) did not reveal any statistical differences between pre- and post-ECT samples nor between pre-ECT samples and those of healthy controls.
Conclusion: As neuroepigenetic studies on ECT are still in their infancy, the results reported in this study are best interpreted as exploratory outcomes. Additional studies are required to explore the potential epigenetic mechanisms underlying the therapeutic efficacy of ECT.
期刊介绍:
The journal aims to publish papers which bring together clinical observations, psychological and behavioural abnormalities and genetic data. All papers are fully refereed.
Psychiatric Genetics is also a forum for reporting new approaches to genetic research in psychiatry and neurology utilizing novel techniques or methodologies. Psychiatric Genetics publishes original Research Reports dealing with inherited factors involved in psychiatric and neurological disorders. This encompasses gene localization and chromosome markers, changes in neuronal gene expression related to psychiatric disease, linkage genetics analyses, family, twin and adoption studies, and genetically based animal models of neuropsychiatric disease. The journal covers areas such as molecular neurobiology and molecular genetics relevant to mental illness.
Reviews of the literature and Commentaries in areas of current interest will be considered for publication. Reviews and Commentaries in areas outside psychiatric genetics, but of interest and importance to Psychiatric Genetics, will also be considered.
Psychiatric Genetics also publishes Book Reviews, Brief Reports and Conference Reports.
