dc.description.abstractSchizophrenia (SZ) is a mental disorder with a strong genetic basis as well as epigenetic aspects. Siblings of patients with SZ can share certain endophenotypes with the patients, suggesting that siblings may be important for distinguishing between trait and state markers. In the current study, we aimed to characterize the balance between pro-BDNF/mature BDNF and its receptors p75NTR/TrkB, which are tPA-BDNF pathways proteins and are thought to play a role in synaptic pruning, as a possible endophenotype of schizophrenia. Forty drug-naive patients with first-episode psychosis (FEP) matched for age, gender, and level of education, 40 unaffected siblings (UAS) of patients with FEP, and 67 healthy controls (HC) were included in the study. Blood samples were collected from all participants to determine BDNF, pro-BDNF, TrkB and p75NTR, PAI1, tPA, ACTH, and cortisol levels. We showed that levels of proteins of the tPA-BDNF pathway as well as the pro-BDNF/m-BDNF and p75NTR/TrkB ratios could successfully differentiate FEP and their siblings from the HCs by using ROC analysis. Plasma levels of m-BDNF were found to be the lowest in the healthy siblings and highest in the HCs with statistically significant differences between all 3 groups. The plasma level of pro-BDNF in the HC group was similar to the FEP patients, the same in the healthy siblings of the FEP patients. Our data support the hypothesis that imbalance between neurotrophic and apoptotic proteins might occur in SZ and this imbalance could be an endophenotype of the disease.
