Abstract

The cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying onset and development of schizophrenia have not yet been completely elucidated, but the association of disturbed neuroplasticity and inflammation has gained particular relevance recently. These mechanisms are linked to annexins functions. ANXA3, particularly, is associated to inflammation and membrane metabolism cascades. The aim was to determine the ANXA3 levels in first-onset drug-naïve psychotic patients. We investigated by western blot the protein expression of annexin A3 in platelets of first-onset, drug-naïve psychotic patients (diagnoses according to DSM-IV: 28 schizophrenia, 27 bipolar disorder) as compared to 30 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. Annexin A3 level was lower in schizophrenia patients as compared to healthy controls (p < 0.001) and to bipolar patients (p < 0.001). Twenty out of 28 schizophrenic patients had undetectable annexin A3 levels, as compared to none from the bipolar and none from the control subjects. ANXA3 was reduced in drug-naïve patients with schizophrenia. ANXA3 affects neuroplasticity, inflammation and apoptosis, as well as it modulates membrane phospholipid metabolism. All these processes have been discussed in regard to the biology o...Continue Reading
