Proteomic analyses facilitate the interpretation of molecular biomarker probes which are very helpful in diagnosing schizophrenia (SZ). In the current study, we attempt to test whether potential differences in plasma protein expressions in SZ and bipolar disorder (BD) are associated with cognitive deficits and their underlying brain structures. Forty-two plasma proteins of 29 SZ patients, 25 BD patients and 93 non-clinical controls were quantified and analysed using multiple reaction monitoring-based triple quadrupole mass spectrometry approach. We also computed group comparisons of protein expressions between patients and controls, and between SZ and BD patients, as well. Potential associations of protein levels with cognitive functioning (psychomotor speed, executive functioning, crystallised intelligence) as well as underlying brain volume in the hippocampus were explored, using bivariate correlation analyses. The main finding of this study was that apolipoprotein expression differed between patients and controls and that these alterations in both disease groups were putatively related to cognitive impairments as well as to hippocampus volumes. However, none of the protein level differences were related to clinical symptom severity. In summary, altered apolipoprotein expression in BD and SZ was linked to cognitive decline and underlying morphological changes in both disorders. Our results suggest that the detection of molecular patterns in association with cognitive performance and its underlying brain morphology is of great importance for understanding of the pathological mechanisms of SZ and BD, as well as for supporting the diagnosis and treatment of both disorders.

Dual-adjuvant effect of pH-sensitive liposomes loaded with STING and TLR9 agonists regress tumor development by enhancing Th1 immune response Kocabas, Banu Bayyurt; Almacioglu, Kubra; Bulut, Esin Alpdundar; Gucluler, Gozde; Tincer, Gizem; Bayik, Defne; Gürsel, Mayda; GÜRSEL, İHSAN (Elsevier BV, 2020-12-01) Nucleic acid-based pattern recognition receptor agonists are effective adjuvants and immunotherapeutic agents. Rather than single applications, ligand combinations could synergistically potentiate immune responses by elevating cytokine and chemokine production via triggering multiple signaling pathways. However, short half-lives of such labile ligands due to nuclease attack and limited cellular uptake due to their structure significantly hamper their in vivo performances. More importantly, simultaneous deli...
Evidence of microglial activation following exposure to serum from first-onset drug-naive schizophrenia patients van Rees, Geertje Frederique; Lago, Santiago Guillermo; Cox, David Alan; Tomasik, Jakub; Rustogi, Nitin; Weigelt, Karin; Özcan Kabasakal, Süreyya; Cooper, Jason; Drexhage, Hemmo; Leweke, F. Markus; Bahn, Sabine (2018-01-01) Abnormal activation of brain microglial cells is widely implicated in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. Previously the pathophysiology of microglial activation was considered to be intrinsic to the central nervous system. We hypothesised that due to their perivascular localization, microglia can also be activated by factors present in circulating blood. Through application of high-content functional screening, we show that peripheral blood serum from first-onset drug-naive schizophrenia patients is suffici...
Projektif Yöntem Olarak Rorschach Testi ile Psikozun İncelenmesi Göçer, Kübra (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2018-10-22) Klinik psikoloji uygulamalarında psikopatolojileri tespit etmek amaçlı çeşitli metodlar kullanılmaktadır. Rorschach Testi, niteliksel veriler sunan ve bir projektif test olarak bilinen, bu metodlardan bir tanesidir. Öncelikle projektif testlerle beraber Rorschach Testi’nin tarihçesi, uygulanışı ve yorumlanması tanıtıldıktan sonra, psikozun bu testin protokollerine nasıl yansıdığı ele alınacaktır. Psikotik yapılanmaların ortak özellikleriyle beraber psikotik endişe incelenecektir. Bu ortak özelliklerin...
Differential expressions and functions of phosphodiesterase enzymes in different regions of the rat heart DERİCİ, MEHMET KÜRŞAT; SADİ, GÖKHAN; Cenik, Basar; Güray, Nülüfer Tülün; DEMİREL YILMAZ, EMİNE (Elsevier BV, 2019-02-05) Phosphodiesterase enzymes (PDEs) are responsible for the adjustment of cyclic nucleotide levels. Alterations in PDE expressions in different tissues cause conflicts between functional and clinical effects of PDE inhibitors. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the gene and protein expressions and the functional role of PDEs in atrium and ventricle of rat heart The expressions of PDEs were examined in cardiac intact tissues and enzymatically isolated cells. The effects of PDE1-5 inhibitors (vi...
Improving the sub-cortical gm segmentation using evolutionary hierarchical region merging Çiftçioğlu, Mustafa Ulaş; Gökçay, Didem; Department of Medical Informatics (2011) Segmentation of sub-cortical Gray Matter (GM) structures in magnetic resonance brain images is crucial in clinic and research for many purposes such as early diagnosis of neurological diseases, guidance of surgical operations and longitudinal volumetric studies. Unfortunately, the algorithms that segment the brain into 3 tissues usually suffer from poor performance in the sub-cortical region. In order to increase the detection of sub-cortical GM structures, an evolutionary hierarchical region merging approa...
