Cannabis and cognitive dysfunction: parallels with endophenotypes of schizophrenia?
Currently, there is a lot of interest in cannabis use as a risk factor for the development of schizophrenia. Cognitive dysfunction associated with long-term or heavy cannabis use is similar in many respects to the cognitive endophenotypes that have been proposed as vulnerability markers of schizophrenia. In this overview, we examine the similarities between these in the context of the neurobiol...
متن کاملAdenosine augmentation ameliorates psychotic and cognitive endophenotypes of schizophrenia.
An emerging theory of schizophrenia postulates that hypofunction of adenosine signaling may contribute to its pathophysiology. This study was designed to test the "adenosine hypothesis" of schizophrenia and to evaluate focal adenosine-based strategies for therapy. We found that augmentation of adenosine by pharmacologic inhibition of adenosine kinase (ADK), the key enzyme of adenosine clearance...
متن کاملSpironolactone is an antagonist of NRG1‐ERBB4 signaling and schizophrenia‐relevant endophenotypes in mice
Enhanced NRG1-ERBB4 signaling is a risk pathway in schizophrenia, and corresponding mouse models display several endophenotypes of the disease. Nonetheless, pathway-directed treatment strategies with clinically applicable compounds have not been identified. Here, we applied a cell-based assay using the split TEV technology to screen a library of clinically applicable compounds to identify modul...
متن کاملNeurophysiological endophenotypes across bipolar and schizophrenia psychosis.
The search for liability genes of the world's 2 major psychotic disorders, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder I (BP-I), has been extremely difficult even though evidence suggests that both are highly heritable. This difficulty is due to the complex and multifactorial nature of these disorders. They encompass several intermediate phenotypes, some overlapping across the 2 psychotic disorders that...
متن کاملEndophenotypes in Studies of the Genetics of Schizophrenia
The power and appeal of the molecular biology mantra, ‘‘DNA to RNA to protein,’’ to explicate cell biology comes from its universal appearance and application in all species, from microorganisms to human beings. Based on this mantra, the genomes of viruses, bacteria, fruit flies, and now humans are being mapped and sequenced, so that all the genes and, ultimately, their corresponding biological...
