流行病学研究表明,个人的基因和环境都是精神分裂症病理生理学的基础。介导基因和环境之间相互作用的分子机制可能在疾病的发病中起重要作用。最近的研究表明,表观遗传机制,或DNA和周围组蛋白的化学标记,在整个生命周期中保持不稳定,并可被环境因素改变。因此,表观遗传机制是一个有吸引力的分子假说的环境贡献精神分裂症。在这篇综述中,我们首先介绍了精神分裂症的概述,并讨论了性质与养育在其病理学中的作用,其中“性质”被认为是遗传或遗传易感性精神分裂症,和“养育”提出通过表观遗传机制发挥其作用。其次,我们定义DNA甲基化,并讨论其在精神分裂症中的作用的证据。第三,我们定义了翻译后组蛋白修饰,并讨论了它们在精神分裂症中的作用。这项研究可能会导致表观遗传疗法的发展,这种疗法有望减轻与精神分裂症相关的认知缺陷。
Epidemiological research suggests that both an individual’s genes and the environment underlie the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Molecular mechanisms mediating the interplay between genes and the environment are likely to have a significant role in the onset of the disorder. Recent work indicates that epigenetic mechanisms, or the chemical markings of the DNA and the surrounding histone proteins, remain labile through the lifespan and can be altered by environmental factors. Thus, epigenetic mechanisms are an attractive molecular hypothesis for environmental contributions to schizophrenia. In this review, we first present an overview of schizophrenia and discuss the role of nature versus nurture in its pathology, where ‘nature’ is considered to be inherited or genetic vulnerability to schizophrenia, and ‘nurture’ is proposed to exert its effects through epigenetic mechanisms. Second, we define DNA methylation and discuss the evidence for its role in schizophrenia. Third, we define posttranslational histone modifications and discuss their place in schizophrenia. This research is likely to lead to the development of epigenetic therapy, which holds the promise of alleviating cognitive deficits associated with schizophrenia.
