State- and trait-specific gene expression in euthymia and mania

ABSTRACT: Gene expression profiles of bipolar disorder (BD) patients were assessed during both a manic and a euthymic phase and compared both intra-individually, and with the gene expression profiles of controls. 11 BD patients were assessed in their manic as well as in their euthymic phase. Comparison of gene expression BD euthymic vs. controls, BD manic vs. controls, and intra-patient comparison BD euthymic vs. BD manic.

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a highly heritable psychiatric disease characterized by recurrent episodes of mania and depression. To identify new BD genes and pathways, the present study employed a three-step approach. First, gene-expression profiles of BD patients were assessed during both a manic and an euthymic phase. These profiles were compared intra-individually and with the gene-expression profiles of controls. Second, those differentially expressed genes that were considered potential trait m ...[more]

Project description:Whole blood rather than purified peripheral blood mononuclear cells is likely to become the prime tissue using expression microarrays for disease predication or prognosis however excess of globin mRNA may reduce probe detection sensitivity. In our study, we assessed whether whole-blood or globin-reduced RNA gives the most robust and sensitive results to detect small gene expression changes in response to hormone replacement therapy exposure. Each sample (N = 12) were hybridized according to 3 different protocols: no globin reduction (controls), globin reduction using peptid nucleic acids (PNA) and using magnetic beads in the GlobinClear kit from Ambion. Finally, 7 and 4 technical replicates were conducted in no globin reduction and PNA groups, respectively. Both globin reduction approaches were mostly efficient at reducing globin RNA from cRNA. Samples processed by GlobinClear kit gave a very distinct gene expression profiles from the controls while samples processed with PNA gave an intermediary profile closest to the non globin reduction group with a slight increased sensitivity of transcript detection but a loss of reproducibility. Overall, no sign of higher sensitivity in detection of gene expression changes followed by hormone exposure was observed after globin reduction which was therefore judged not beneficial. Keywords: Groups comparaison To assess effect of globin reduction protocols on gene expression from whole-blood, we selected 12 postmenopausal women (6 HRT users and 6 non-HRT users) who were not using other medication than HRT at the time of blood sampling and in order to cover a wide body mass index (BMI) range in both HRT and non HRT users. The samples were also selected to contain the highest concentration of total extracted RNA. Each sample was hybridized according to 3 different protocols: no globin reduction (controls), globin reduction using PNAs, globin reduction using magnetic beads in the GlobinClear™ kit from Ambion. The reproducibility of the globin reduction method compared to the non globin reduction approach was investigated for the PNA method only since this method was the most effective and specific. We planned to conduct 7 technical replicates in each group (i.e. no globin reduction and PNA groups). During amplification process with PNA, 4 samples failed to reverse transcript long fragment of mRNA certainly due to inhibitory contamination and these arrays were therefore excluded from our analyses. One sample (sample 34) was amplified with PNA twice the same day to study technical reproducibility without amplification date effect. Finally, a total of 47 arrays were conducted including 7 and 4 technical replicates in no globin reduction and PNA group, respectively.
