Popis: | Schizophrenia is a chronic deliberating neuropsychiatric disorder that affects about 1% of the population. Dystrobrevin-binding protein 1 (DTNBP1 or dysbindin) is one of Research Domain Constructs (RDoC) associated with cognition and is significantly reduced in the brain of schizophrenia patients. To further understand the molecular underpinnings of pathogenesis of schizophrenia, we have performed microarray analyses of the hippocampi from dysbindin knockout mice, and found that genes involved in lipogenic pathway are suppressed. Moreover, we uncovered that maturation of a master transcriptional regulator for lipid synthesis, sterol regulatory element binding protein-1 (SREBP1) is induced by neuronal activity, and is required for the induction of the immediate early gene protein ARC (activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein), necessary for synaptic plasticity and memory. We revealed that nuclear SREBP1 is dramatically reduced in dysbindin-1 knockout mice and postmortem brain tissues from human schizophrenia patients. Furthermore, activity-dependent maturation of SREBP1 as well as ARC expression were attenuated in the dysbindin-1 knockout mice, and these deficits were restored by the atypical antipsychotic drug, clozapine. Together, results indicate an important role of dysbindin-1 in neuronal activity induced SREBP1 and ARC, which could be related to cognitive deficits in schizophrenia. |
