An integrated machine learning framework for developing and validating a diagnostic model of major depressive disorder based on interstitial cystitis-related genes. J Affect Disord 2024; 359:22-32.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder (MDD) and interstitial cystitis (IC) are two highly debilitating conditions that often coexist with reciprocal effect, significantly exacerbating patients' suffering. However, the molecular underpinnings linking these disorders remain poorly understood. METHODS Transcriptomic data from GEO datasets including those of MDD and IC patients was systematically analyzed to develop and validate our model. Following removal of batch effect, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between respective disease and control groups were identified. Shared DEGs of the conditions then underwent functional enrichment analyses. Additionally, immune infiltration analysis was quantified through ssGSEA. A diagnostic model for MDD was constructed by exploring 113 combinations of 12 machine learning algorithms with 10-fold cross-validation on the training sets following by external validation on test sets. Finally, the "Enrichr" platform was utilized to identify potential drugs for MDD. RESULTS Totally, 21 key genes closely associated with both MDD and IC were identified, predominantly involved in immune processes based on enrichment analyses. Immune infiltration analysis revealed distinct profiles of immune cell infiltration in MDD and IC compared to healthy controls. From these genes, a robust 11-gene (ABCD2, ATP8B4, TNNT1, AKR1C3, SLC26A8, S100A12, PTX3, FAM3B, ITGA2B, OLFM4, BCL7A) diagnostic signature was constructed, which exhibited superior performance over existing MDD diagnostic models both in training and testing cohorts. Additionally, epigallocatechin gallate and 10 other drugs emerged as potential targets for MDD. CONCLUSION Our work developed a diagnostic model for MDD employing a combination of bioinformatic techniques and machine learning methods, focusing on shared genes between MDD and IC.

Abstract
Cumulative evidence has showed the deficits of inhibitory control in patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which is considered as an endophenotype of ADHD. Genetic study of inhibitory control could advance gene discovery and further facilitate the understanding of ADHD genetic basis, but the studies were limited in both the general population and ADHD patients. To reveal genetic risk variants of inhibitory control and its potential genetic relationship with ADHD, we conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on inhibitory control using three datasets, which included 783 and 957 ADHD patients and 1350 healthy children. Subsequently, we employed polygenic risk scores (PRS) to explore the association of inhibitory control with ADHD and related psychiatric disorders. Firstly, we identified three significant loci for inhibitory control in the healthy dataset, two loci in the case dataset, and one locus in the meta-analysis of three datasets. Besides, we found more risk genes and variants by applying transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) and conditional FDR method. Then, we constructed a network by connecting the genes identified in our study, leading to the identification of several vital genes. Lastly, we identified a potential relationship between inhibitory control and ADHD and autism by PRS analysis and found the direct and mediated contribution of the identified genetic loci on ADHD symptoms by mediation analysis. In conclusion, we revealed some genetic risk variants associated with inhibitory control and elucidated the benefit of inhibitory control as an endophenotype, providing valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying ADHD.

Abstract
Insomnia is a stress-related sleep disorder conceptualised within a diathesis-stress framework, which it is thought to result from predisposing factors interacting with precipitating stressful events that trigger the development of insomnia. Among predisposing factors genetics and epigenetics may play a role. A systematic review of the current evidence for the genetic and epigenetic basis of insomnia was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) system. A total of 24 studies were collected for twins and family heritability, 55 for genome-wide association studies, 26 about candidate genes for insomnia, and eight for epigenetics. Data showed that insomnia is a complex polygenic stress-related disorder, and it is likely to be caused by a synergy of genetic and environmental factors, with stress-related sleep reactivity being the important trait. Even if few studies have been conducted to date on insomnia, epigenetics may be the framework to understand long-lasting consequences of the interaction between genetic and environmental factors and effects of stress on the brain in insomnia. Interestingly, polygenic risk for insomnia has been causally linked to different mental and medical disorders. Probably, by treating insomnia it would be possible to intervene on the effect of stress on the brain and prevent some medical and mental conditions.

Xu K, Zheng P, Zhao S, Wang J, Feng J, Ren Y, Zhong Q, Zhang H, Chen X, Chen J, Xie P. LRFN5 and OLFM4 as novel potential biomarkers for major depressive disorder: a pilot study. Transl Psychiatry 2023; 13:188. [PMID: 37280213 DOI: 10.1038/s41398-023-02490-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Revised: 05/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Evidences have shown that both LRFN5 and OLFM4 can regulate neural development and synaptic function. Recent genome-wide association studies on major depressive disorder (MDD) have implicated LRFN5 and OLFM4, but their expressions and roles in MDD are still completely unclear. Here, we examined serum concentrations of LRFN5 and OLFM4 in 99 drug-naive MDD patients, 90 drug-treatment MDD patients, and 81 healthy controls (HCs) using ELISA methods. The results showed that both LRFN5 and OLFM4 levels were considerably higher in MDD patients compared to HCs, and were significantly lower in drug-treatment MDD patients than in drug-naive MDD patients. However, there were no significant differences between MDD patients who received a single antidepressant and a combination of antidepressants. Pearson correlation analysis showed that they were associated with the clinical data, including Hamilton Depression Scale score, age, duration of illness, fasting blood glucose, serum lipids, and hepatic, renal, or thyroid function. Moreover, these two molecules both yielded fairly excellent diagnostic performance in diagnosing MDD. In addition, a combination of LRFN5 and OLFM4 demonstrated a better diagnostic effectiveness, with an area under curve of 0.974 in the training set and 0.975 in the testing set. Taken together, our data suggest that LRFN5 and OLFM4 may be implicated in the pathophysiology of MDD and the combination of LRFN5 and OLFM4 may offer a diagnostic biomarker panel for MDD.
