Olanzapine leads to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease through the apolipoprotein A5 pathway
This study investigated whether apolipoprotein A5 (apoA5) and sortilin, two interactive factors involved in NAFLD pathogenesis, are implicated in olanzapine-induced NAFLD. In our study, at week 8, olanzapine treatment successfully induced hepatic steatosis in female C57 BL/6 J mice, which was independent of body weight gain. Likewise, olanzapine effectively mediated hepatocyte steatosis in HepG2 cells characterized by substantially elevated intracellular lipid droplets. Increased plasma triglyceride concentration and decreased plasma apoA5 levels were observed in mice treated with 8-week olanzapine. Surprisingly, olanzapin...

Non-Coding RNAs in Psychiatric Disorders and Suicidal Behavior
It is well known that only a small proportion of the human genome code for proteins; the rest belong to the family of RNAs that do not code for protein and are known as non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). ncRNAs are further divided into two subclasses based on size: 1) long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs; >200 nucleotides) and 2) small RNAs (<200 nucleotides). Small RNAs contain various family members that include microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), and small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). The roles of ncRNAs, especially lncRNAs and miRNAs, are well documented ...

GSE112704 Building a schizophrenia genetic network: Transcription Factor 4 regulates genes involved in neuronal development and schizophrenia risk
Contributor : Joseph McClaySeries Type : Genome binding/occupancy profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Homo sapiensThe transcription factor 4 (TCF4) locus is a robust association finding with schizophrenia (SZ), but little is known about the genes regulated by the encoded transcription factor. Therefore, we conducted chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) of TCF4 in neural-derived (SH-SY5Y) cells to identify genome-wide TCF4 binding sites, followed by data integration with SZ association findings. We identified 11,322 TCF4 binding sites overlapping in two ChIP-seq experiments. These sites are sign...

Olig2 Silence Ameliorates Cuprizone-Induced Schizophrenia-Like Symptoms in Mice.
CONCLUSIONS Cuprizone-induced schizophrenia-like symptoms involved olig2 upregulation. The silence of olig2 could prevent changes, likely through regulating MBP, CNPase, and GFAP expressions. PMID: 28989170 [PubMed - in process]

RGS2 modulates the activity and internalization of dopamine D2 receptors in neuroblastoma N2A cells.
Abstract Dysregulated expression and function of dopamine D2 receptors (D2Rs) are implicated in drug addiction, Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia. In the current study, we examined whether D2Rs are modulated by regulator of G protein signaling 2 (RGS2), a member of the RGS family that regulates G protein signaling via acceleration of GTPase activity. Using neuroblastoma 2a (N2A) cells, we found that RGS2 was immunoprecipitated by aluminum fluoride-activated Gαi2 proteins. RGS2 siRNA knockdown enhanced membrane [(35)S] GTPγS binding to activated Gαi/o proteins, augmented inhibition of cAMP accumulation and i...

GSE79255 Gene-expression profiles after siRNA knockdown and overexpression of bromodomian containing 1 (BRD1) in HEK293T cells
Conclusion: Our results show that BRD1 interacts with chromatin remodeling proteins, e.g. PBRM1, as well as histone modifiers, e.g. MYST2 and SUV420H1. We find that BRD1 primarily binds in close proximity to transcription start sites and regulates expression of numerous genes, many of which are involved with brain development and susceptibility to mental disorders. Our findings indicate that BRD1 acts as a regulatory hub in a comprehensive schizophrenia risk network which plays a role in many brain regions throughout life, implicating e.g.striatum, hippocampus, and amygdala at mid fetal stages.

Beyond the brain: disrupted in schizophrenia 1 regulates pancreatic {beta}-cell function via glycogen synthase kinase-3{beta} Research Communication
Individuals with schizophrenia and their first-degree relatives have higher rates of type 2 diabetes (T2D) than the general population (18–30 vs. 1.2–6.3%), independent of body mass index and antipsychotic medication, suggesting shared genetic components may contribute to both diseases. The cause of this association remains unknown. Mutations in disrupted in schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) increase the risk of developing psychiatric disorders [logarithm (base 10) of odds = 7.1]. Here, we identified DISC1 as a major player controlling pancreatic β-cell proliferation and insulin secretion via regulation of glycogen ...

Neuregulin 1 Regulates EAAC1 Cell Biology
Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) is a trophic factor that is thought to have important roles in the regulating brain circuitry. Recent studies suggest that NRG1 regulates synaptic transmission, although the precise mechanisms remain unknown. Here we report that NRG1 influences glutamate uptake by increasing the protein level of excitatory amino acid carrier (EAAC1). Our data indicate that NRG1 induced the up-regulation of EAAC1 in primary cortical neurons with an increase in glutamate uptake. These in vitro results were corroborated in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of mice given NRG1. The stimulatory effect of NRG1 was blocked by inhibit...

Abstract 4360: Validation of phosphodiesterase 10A as a cancer target
Phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10) is a cAMP and cGMP degrading PDE isozyme that is highly expressed in the brain striatum where it plays an important role in cognition and psychomotor activity. PDE10 inhibitors are being developed for the treatment of schizophrenia and Huntington's disease and are generally well tolerated, likely because of low expression levels in peripheral tissues. We recently reported high levels of PDE10 in tumors and that genetic silencing by siRNA inhibits tumor cell growth with a high degree of selectivity over normal cells (Li et al., Oncogene 2014). These observations suggest that PDE10 may have an u...

Gadd45b is an epigenetic regulator of juvenile social behavior and alters local pro-inflammatory cytokine production in the rodent amygdala
Publication date: Available online 26 February 2015 Source:Brain, Behavior, and Immunity Author(s): Stacey L. Kigar , Liza Chang , Anthony P. Auger Precise regulation of the epigenome during perinatal development is critical to the formation of species-typical behavior later in life. Recent data suggests that Gadd45b facilitates active DNA demethylation by recruiting proteins involved in base excision repair (BER), which will catalyze substitution of 5-methyl-cytosine (5mC) for an unmodified cytosine. While a role for Gadd45b has been implicated in both hippocampal and amygdalar learning tasks, to the best of our knowled...
