- Gene expression alterations in the postmortem hippocampus from older patients with bipolar disorder-A hypothesis generating study(2023) NASCIMENTO, Camila; KIM, Helena Kyunghee; NUNES, Paula Villela; LEITE, Renata Elaine Paraiso; CRISTINA, De Oliveira Katia; BARBOSA, Andre; BERTONHA, Fernanda Bernardi; MOREIRA-FILHO, Carlos Alberto; JACOB-FILHO, Wilson; NITRINI, Ricardo; PASQUALUCCI, Carlos A.; GRINBERG, Lea Tenenholz; SUEMOTO, Claudia Kimie; BRENTANI, Helena Paula; LAFER, BenyBipolar disorder (BD) presents with a progressive course in a subset of patients. However, our knowledge of molecular changes in older BD is limited. In this study, we examined gene expression changes in the hippocampus of BD from the Biobank of Aging Studies to identify genes of interest that warrant further exploration. RNA was extracted from the hippocampus from 11 subjects with BD and 11 age and sex-matched controls. Gene expression data was generated using the SurePrint G3 Human Gene Expression v3 microarray. Rank feature selection was performed to identify a subset of features that can optimally differentiate BD and controls. Genes ranked in the top 0.1% with log2 fold change >1.2 were identified as genes of interest. Average age of the subjects was 64 years old; duration of disease was 21 years and 82% were female. Twenty-five genes were identified, of which all but one was downregulated in BD. Of these, CNTNAP4, MAP4, SLC4A1, COBL, and NEURL4 had been associated with BD and other psychiatric conditions in previous studies. We believe our findings have identified promising targets to inform future studies aiming to understand the pathophysiology of BD in later life.
