Abstract

Catalytic subunit delta of phosphoinositide 3-kinase, p110δ, encoded by the PIK3CD gene, was recently proposed as a target for pharmacological treatment of schizophrenia. Current antipsychotic drugs were found to decrease the mRNA expression of PIK3CD, but the mechanism of this process is not known. The aim of the study was to elucidate the mechanism by which antipsychotic drugs affect the mRNA expression of PIK3CD. The direct effect of haloperidol, clozapine, olanzapine, quetiapine and amisulpride on p110δ enzymatic activity was tested with a kinase assay, and the results were referenced against data on the mRNA expression of PIK3CD. Haloperidol, clozapine, olanzapine and quetiapine, but not amisulpride, at the concentration of 20-80 μM, were found to significantly increase enzymatic activity of p110δ by up to two times in a dose-dependent manner. Linear regression analysis revealed that more than 40% of the variance in antipsychotic drugs-induced changes in the expression of PIK3CD mRNA was explained only by changes in antipsychotic drug-regulated p110δ enzymatic activity (p = 0.011). Antipsychotic drugs differentially increase the enzymatic activity of p110δ. This effect is associated with that of mRNA expression of the PIK3...Continue Reading

Antipsychotic Drugs

Antipsychotic drugs are a class of medication primarily used to manage psychosis (including delusions, hallucinations, paranoia or disordered thought), principally in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Discover the latest research on antipsychotic drugs here
