Popis: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have accelerated the discovery of numerous genetic variants associated with schizophrenia. However, most risk variants show a small effect size (odds ratio (OR) ATP5MD, encoding an ATP synthase membrane subunit, is observed to be downregulated in schizophrenia by the risk allele of CNNM2-rs1926032 in the schizophrenia-associated 10q24.32 locus. The Atp5md knockout (KO) in mice was associated with abnormal startle reflex and gait, and ATP5MD knockdown (KD) in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons disrupted the neural development and mitochondrial respiration and ATP production. Moreover, CNNM2-rs1926032 KO could induce downregulation of ATP5MD expression and disruptions of mitochondrial respiration and ATP production. This study constitutes an important mechanistic component that links schizophrenia-associated CNNM2 regions to disruption in energy adenosine system modulation and neuronal function by long-distance chromatin domain downregulation of ATP5MD. This pathogenic mechanism provides therapeutic implications for schizophrenia.
