中文摘要
摘要
消极的症状,如贪婪、迟钝的情感、快感缺失和社交退缩,都会让人虚弱,
持续存在,并极大地造成严重精神疾病的巨大个人和经济代价。在……里面
新近发病(RO)的患者,阴性症状与功能预后不良有关。在个人中,
临床高风险(CHR)精神病,阴性症状可以预测转变,也与
功能不佳且不断恶化。这一点特别重要,因为尽管大多数CHR个人都是这样做的
他们没有转变为精神病,但在社会和职业方面表现出严重的障碍
对生活质量有重大影响的功能。阴性症状在很大程度上不能通过药物来解决。
脯氨酸是神经递质谷氨酸的前体,起着中枢神经调节剂的作用。邻苯二酚-O-
甲基转移酶(COMT)使包括多巴胺(DA)在内的儿茶酚胺失活。我们最近发现了一个
空腹血浆脯氨酸与功能性COMT多态(显示为调节DA)之间的相互作用
通过COMT酶活性传递信号:DA代谢),显著预测慢性阻塞性肺疾病的阴性症状结局
精神病患者:在预计COMT活性高(和DA代谢增强)的患者中,
脯氨酸具有保护性,阴性症状严重程度较低,或者随着时间的推移,症状会有较大程度的减轻。相反,
编码低活性酶的等位基因携带者表现出明显更多的阴性症状
高脯氨酸。这种消极症状的交互作用在两种精神疾病中是一致的。
我们现在假设,脯氨酸水平和DA代谢(通过COMT活性来衡量)相互作用,以修改
慢性阻塞性肺病患者和RO患者的阴性症状严重程度。我们进一步假设一个重要的
脯氨酸、多巴胺代谢与慢性阻塞性肺疾病阴性症状变化的关系
转化为精神病。明确的目标。目标1 A。从67小时内采集空腹横断面血液
个人和69名RO患者(从他们第一次发病起两年),并测量空腹血浆脯氨酸水平加

英文摘要
ABSTRACT
Negative symptoms such as avolition, blunted affect, anhedonia, and social withdrawal, are debilitating,
persistent, and significantly contribute to the huge personal and economic cost of severe psychiatric illnesses. In
recent onset (RO) patients, negative symptoms are associated with poor functional outcomes. In individuals at
clinical high-risk (CHR) for psychosis, negative symptoms can predict transition, and are also associated with
poor and deteriorating functioning. This is particularly significant because even though most CHR individuals do
not transition to psychosis, they nonetheless exhibit substantial impairments in social and occupational
functioning that considerably impact quality of life. Negative symptoms are largely unaddressed by medications.
Proline is a precursor of the neurotransmitter glutamate and functions as a CNS neuromodulator. Catechol-O-
methyltransferase (COMT) deactivates catecholamines including dopamine (DA). We recently found an
interaction between fasting plasma proline and a functional COMT polymorphism (shown to modulate DA
signaling via COMT enzyme activity:DA metabolism), significantly predicts negative symptom outcomes in chronic
psychiatric patients: In patients’ predicted to have high COMT activity (and enhanced DA metabolism), high
proline is protective with low negative symptom severity or a greater symptom reduction over time. Conversely,
carriers of the allele encoding the low activity enzyme demonstrated significantly more negative symptoms with
high proline. This negative symptom interaction effect was consistent across two psychiatric illnesses.
We now hypothesize that proline level and DA metabolism (as measured by COMT activity) interact to modify
negative symptom severity in CHR individuals and in those with RO. We further hypothesize a significant
relationship between proline, DA metabolism, and change in negative symptoms in CHR states, as well as
conversion to psychosis. Specific Aims. Aim 1A. To collect cross-sectional, fasting blood from 67 CHR
individuals and 69 RO patients (<2 years from their first-episode), and measure fasting plasma proline levels plus
erythrocyte COMT enzyme activity. Aim 1B. To evaluate negative symptoms and functional outcomes in the two
groups using a battery of instruments including the Scale for Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS), and
test for an interaction between DA metabolism and proline. Aim 2. To longitudinally examine the change in
fasting plasma proline and negative symptoms (as assessed via the Scale for assessment of Prodromal
Symptoms (SOPS)) in 60 of the CHR individuals at baseline (from 1A), at 6 months, and then 1-year post
baseline, testing whether the interaction between proline x COMT activity predicts change in negative symptoms
over time. Aim 3. To retrospectively test whether proline x activity predicts CHR conversion to psychosis.
Impact: Our study may have implications for negative symptom treatment because proline-modulating
medications exist. Modulating proline according to enzyme activity and DA metabolism may hold promise for
intervening and targeting negative symptoms in high-risk or RO patients; with important public health implications.
