| Title | Association between the insulin-induced gene 2 (INSIG2) and weight gain in a German sample of antipsychotic-treated schizophrenic patients: perturbation of SREBP-controlled lipogenesis in drug-related metabolic adverse effects? |
| Abstract | Atypical antipsychotics are nowadays the most widely used drugs to treatschizophrenia和其他精神病。不幸的是,其中一些can cause major metabolic adverse effects, such as weight gain, dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes. The underlying lipogenic mechanisms of the antipsychotic drugs are not known, but several studies have focused on a central effect in the hypothalamic control of appetite regulation and energy expenditure. In a functional convergent genomic approach we recently used a cellular model and demonstrated that orexigenic antipsychotics that induce weight gain activate the expression of lipid biosynthesis genes controlled by the sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) transcription factors. We therefore hypothesized that the major genes involved in the SREBP activation of fatty acids and cholesterol production (SREBF1, SREBF2, SCAP, INSIG1 and INSIG2) would be strong candidate genes for interindividual variation in drug-induced weight gain. We genotyped a total of 44 HapMap-selected tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms in a sample of 160 German patients withschizophreniathat had been monitored with respect to changes in body mass index during antipsychotic drug treatment. We found a strong association (P=0.0003-0.00007) between three markers localized within or near the INSIG2 gene (rs17587100, rs10490624 and rs17047764) and antipsychotic-related weight gain. Our finding is supported by the recent involvement of the INSIG2 gene in obesity in the general population and implicates SREBP-controlled lipogenesis in drug-induced metabolic adverse effects. |

| Title | Polymorphisms in SREBF1 and SREBF2, two antipsychotic-activated transcription factors controlling cellular lipogenesis, are associated with schizophrenia in German and Scandinavian samples. |
| Abstract | Several studies have reported structural brain abnormalities, decreased myelination and oligodendrocyte dysfunction inschizophrenia. In the central nervous system, glia-derived de novo synthesized cholesterol is essential for both myelination and synaptogenesis. Previously, we demonstrated in glial cell lines that antipsychotic drugs induce the expression of genes involved in cholesterol and fatty acids biosynthesis through activation of the sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP) transcription factors, encoded by the sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 1 (SREBF1) and sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 2 (SREBF2) genes. Considering the importance of these factors in the lipid biosynthesis and their possible involvement in antipsychotic drug effects, we hypothesized that genetic variants ofSREBF1and/or SREBF2 could affectschizophreniasusceptibility. We therefore conducted a HapMap-based association study in a large German sample, and identified association betweenschizophreniaand five markers inSREBF1and five markers in SREBF2. Follow-up studies in two independent samples of Danish and Norwegian origin (part of the Scandinavian collaboration of psychiatric etiology study, SCOPE) replicated the association for the fiveSREBF1markers and for two markers in SREBF2. A combined analysis of all samples resulted in highly significant genotypic P-values of 9 x 10(-4) forSREBF1(rs11868035, odd ration (OR)=1.26, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.09-1.45)) and 4 x 10(-5) for SREBF2 (rs1057217, OR=1.39, 95% CI (1.19-1.63)). This finding strengthens the hypothesis that SREBP-controlled cholesterol biosynthesis is involved in the etiology ofschizophrenia. |

| Title | Pharmacogenomics of sterol synthesis and statin use in schizophrenia subjects treated with antipsychotics. |
| Abstract | Patients withschizophreniatreated with antipsychotics often develop metabolic side effects including dyslipidemia. Antipsychotics potentially upregulate gene expression of a lipid metabolism pathway protein called SREBP via SREB transcription factors (SREBFs). Genetic variation within SREBF may contribute to dyslipidemias and lipid medication efficacy withinschizophrenia. A cross-sectional study of 157 patients were genotyped forSREBF1(rs11868035) and SREBF2 (rs1057217) variants, and assessed for fasting lipids. The cohort's mean age was 46.6 years, was 64% male and 86% were using atypical antipsychotics. When stratified by statin use, those receiving a statin and carrying theSREBF1T allele exhibited higher total cholesterol levels (p = 0.01), triglyceride levels (p = 0.04) and low-density lipoprotein levels (p = 0.03). A regression analysis controlling for gender differences in lipids showed that theSREBF1T allele and statin interaction remained only for total cholesterol levels (F[4,149] = 5.8; p < 0.0001). Forschizophreniaindividuals with theSREBF1rs11868035 T allele, incomplete response to statin medications may be seen. Future investigations may allow for personalizing dyslipidemia treatment based on pharmacogenetics withinschizophrenia. |

| Title | Association between SCAP and SREBF1 gene polymorphisms and metabolic syndrome in schizophrenia patients treated with atypical antipsychotics. |
| Abstract | The use of atypical antipsychotics (AAPs) in the treatment ofschizophreniahas been relevant because of the high prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS). The sterol-regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) pathway may contribute to the underlying pathophysiology of AAP-induced metabolic adverse effects. We explored the association between the variants of the sterol-regulatory element-binding transcription factor-1 (SREBF1) gene and the SREBP cleavage-activation protein (SCAP) gene with AAP-induced MetS in a genetic case-control study. Eleven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) ofSREBF1and five of SCAP were genotyped in a Han Chinese population in Beijing, China: a sample of 722schizophreniapatients on monotherapy with AAPs (clozapine, olanzapine or risperidone). Metabolic parameters were collected and evaluated for MetS criteria. The rs11654081 T-allele of theSREBF1gene was significantly associated with an increased risk for MetS after correction (P?=?0.019, odds ratio, OR =2.56, 95% confidence interval, CI: 1.4 4-4.54). The rs11654081-TT genotype appeared more frequently in MetS than in non-MetS after correction (P?=?0.026, OR =2.37, 95% CI: 1.3 6-4.12). SCAP polymorphisms with drug-induced MetS were negative in this study. The genetic polymorphisms ofSREBF1could play a role in the mechanism for interindividual variation of AAP-induced MetS. |
