Epistatic and Functional Interactions of Catechol-O-Methyltransferase (COMT) and AKT1 on Neuregulin1-ErbB Signaling in Cell Models
BACKGROUND Neuregulin1 (NRG1)-ErbB signaling has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cancer and schizophrenia. We have previously reported that NRG1-stimulated migration of B lymphoblasts is PI3K-AKT1dependent and impaired in patients with schizophrenia and significantly linked to the catechol-o-methyltransferase (COMT) Val108/158Met functional polymorphism. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS ...
متن کاملA case control and family based association study of the neuregulin1 gene and schizophrenia.
D ata from twin, family, and adoption studies provide strong evidence that genetic factors play a major aetiological role in schizophrenia. By a series of linkage studies, chromosome 8p has been implicated as a region harbouring a schizophrenia susceptibility gene. Recently, Stefansson and colleagues reported that neuregulin 1 (NRG1), located in 8p21-12, may be involved in the aetiology of schi...
متن کاملNo association of catechol-O-methyltransferase polymorphisms with schizophrenia in the Han Chinese population.
AIMS Genetics play a major role in the etiology of schizophrenia (SZ). Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) is one of the promising candidate genes for SZ. A nonsynonymous single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs4680, causing a Valine (Val) to Methionine (Met) substitution, has been widely studied in relation to psychiatric phenotypes, including SZ, but with conflicting results. We conducted a t...
متن کاملNeuregulin1-ErbB Signaling in Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity
This chapter will review basic and clinical findings regarding the cardioprotective role of Neuregulin1-ErbB signaling against the cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin, a widely used chemotherapeutic agent. In 2001, The New England Journal of Medicine published the results from clinical trials in breast cancer patients using Trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody that blocks the ErbB2 receptor. These stud...
متن کاملFunctional catechol-O-methyltransferase gene polymorphism and susceptibility to schizophrenia.
Genetic polymorphism of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), involved in the degradation of catecholamine neurotransmitters, has been investigated as a candidate for modifier of susceptibility to development of schizophrenia. To address this issue further, we carried out a study in Korean schizophrenic patients and controls. The study population consisted of 103 Korean inpatients diagnosed as s...
