| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We performed genetic neuropathology as follows:1) the examination of protein expressions for members of the Akt signaling pathway using multiplex fluorescent bead based immunoassays in the prefrontal cortex and the nucleus accumbens of postmortem brains from 20 cases with schizophrenia, and association of these expressions with genetic variants; 2) adding 6 bipolar cases, same examination of DARPP-32 and calcineurin; 3) association study between the -141C insertion/deletion polymorphism in the dopamine D2 receptor gene and DARPP-32 expression in the striatum of schizophrenia; 4) the examination of the expressions of molecules involved in immunity and chronic inflammation using the Luminex assay in the superior temporal gyrus of post mortem brains from 60 cases including schizophrenia, and association of these expressions with genetic variants.
