Abstract
Abnormal synaptic plasticity leads to cognitive impairment in schizophrenia. Markers of synaptic plasticity are known to be altered in schizophrenia, but there are limited data available about neural cell adhesion molecule-1 (NCAM-1) levels and its association with cognitive functions in schizophrenia. The objective of the study was to analyze NCAM-1 levels and its association with various cognitive domains in schizophrenia. One hundred and seventy-six schizophrenia cases and 176 controls were recruited for the study. Serum NCAM-1 levels were analysed in both the groups. Cognitive examination was performed using Addenbrooke cognitive examination-III (ACE-III) and disease severity was assessed using Positive and negative symptoms scale (PANSS). Serum NCAM-1 levels were elevated in schizophrenia cases (p = 0.006) compared to controls. NCAM-1 was positively associated with attention (r = 0.196, p = 0.009), language (r = 0.192, p = 0.011), visuospatial abilities (r = 0.207, p = 0.006) and total ACE-III score (r = 0.189, p = 0.012). We conclude that elevated levels of NCAM-1 are associated with better cognitive functioning in schizophrenia.

Abstract
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several common genetic variants influencing major depression and general cognitive abilities, but little is known about whether the two share any of their genetic aetiology. Here we investigate shared genomic architectures between major depression (MD) and general intelligence (INT) with the MiXeR statistical tool and their overlapping susceptibility loci with conjunctional false discovery rate (conjFDR), which evaluate the level of overlap in genetic variants and improve the power for gene discovery between two phenotypes. We analysed GWAS data on MD (n = 480,359) and INT (n = 269,867) to characterize polygenic architecture and identify genetic loci shared between these phenotypes. Despite non-significant genetic correlation (rg = -0.0148, P = 0.50), we observed large polygenic overlap and identified 92 loci shared between MD and INT at conjFDR < 0.05. Among the shared loci, 69 and 64 are new for MD and INT, respectively. Our study demonstrates polygenic overlap between these phenotypes with a balanced mixture of effect.

Cerebrospinal fluid NCAM-1 concentration is associated with neurodevelopmental outcome in post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus of prematurity. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0247749. [PMID: 33690655 PMCID: PMC7946285 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0247749] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2020] [Accepted: 02/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Efforts directed at mitigating neurological disability in preterm infants with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and post hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) are limited by a dearth of quantifiable metrics capable of predicting long-term outcome. The objective of this study was to examine the relationships between candidate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of PHH and neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants undergoing neurosurgical treatment for PHH. STUDY DESIGN Preterm infants with PHH were enrolled across the Hydrocephalus Clinical Research Network. CSF samples were collected at the time of temporizing neurosurgical procedure (n = 98). Amyloid precursor protein (APP), L1CAM, NCAM-1, and total protein (TP) were compared in PHH versus control CSF. Fifty-four of these PHH subjects underwent Bayley Scales of Infant Development-III (Bayley-III) testing at 15-30 months corrected age. Controlling for false discovery rate (FDR) and adjusting for post-menstrual age (PMA) and IVH grade, Pearson's partial correlation coefficients were used to examine relationships between CSF proteins and Bayley-III composite cognitive, language, and motor scores. RESULTS CSF APP, L1CAM, NCAM-1, and TP were elevated in PHH over control at temporizing surgery. CSF NCAM-1 was associated with Bayley-III motor score (R = -0.422, p = 0.007, FDR Q = 0.089), with modest relationships noted with cognition (R = -0.335, p = 0.030, FDR Q = 0.182) and language (R = -0.314, p = 0.048, FDR Q = 0.194) scores. No relationships were observed between CSF APP, L1CAM, or TP and Bayley-III scores. FOHR at the time of temporization did not correlate with Bayley-III scores, though trends were observed with Bayley-III motor (p = 0.0647 and R = -0.2912) and cognitive scores (p = 0.0506 and R = -0.2966). CONCLUSION CSF NCAM-1 was associated with neurodevelopment in this multi-institutional PHH cohort. This is the first report relating a specific CSF protein, NCAM-1, to neurodevelopment in PHH. Future work will further investigate a possible role for NCAM-1 as a biomarker of PHH-associated neurological disability.

Hyperfunction of the stress response system and novelty-induced hyperactivity correlate with enhanced cocaine-induced conditioned place preference in NCAM-deficient mice. Addict Biol 2021; 26:e12887.

Abstract
Several studies in humans and rodents suggest an association between impulsivity and activity of the stress response on the one hand and addiction vulnerability on the other. The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) has been related to several neuropsychiatric disorders in humans. Constitutively NCAM-deficient (-/-) mice display enhanced novelty-induced behavior and hyperfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Here we hypothesize that NCAM deficiency causes an altered response to cocaine. Cocaine-induced behaviors of NCAM-/- mice and wild-type (+/+) littermates were analyzed in the conditioned place preference (CPP) test. c-fos mRNA levels were investigated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to measure neural activation after exposure to the cocaine-associated context. NCAM-/- mice showed an elevated cocaine-induced sensitization, enhanced CPP, impaired extinction, and potentiated cocaine-induced hyperlocomotion and CPP after extinction. NCAM-/- showed no potentiated CPP as compared with NCAM+/+ littermates when a natural rewarding stimulus (ie, an unfamiliar female) was used, suggesting that the behavioral alterations of NCAM-/- mice observed in the CPP test are specific to the effects of cocaine. Activation of the prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens induced by the cocaine-associated context was enhanced in NCAM-/- compared with NCAM+/+ mice. Finally, cocaine-induced behavior correlated positively with novelty-induced behavior and plasma corticosterone levels in NCAM-/- mice and negatively with NCAM mRNA levels in the hippocampus and nucleus accumbens in wild-type mice. Our findings indicate that NCAM deficiency affects cocaine-induced CPP in mice and support the view that hyperfunction of the stress response system and reactivity to novelty predict the behavioral responses to cocaine.

Abstract
Objectives: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a serious mental disorder, and there is a great difficulty to diagnose and treat. Hitherto, relatively few studies have explored the correlation between the levels of plasma cell adhesion molecules and MDD. Methods: Thirty outpatients with acute episodes of MDD in Shanghai Mental Health Center and 34 healthy volunteers from the community were recruited as subjects. Protein microarray technology was applied to compared the differences in plasma levels of 17 kinds of adhesion molecular proteins between the two groups. Meanwhile, the diagnostic value of different proteins in depression was discussed by using the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results: The levels of Carcinoembryonic Antigen Related Cell Adhesion Molecule-1(CEACAM-1) and Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule (NrCAM) in MDD patients were significantly higher than those in healthy controls (P < 0.05). The area under ROC curve of CEACAM-1 combined with NrCAM was 0.723, with the sensitivity 0.800 and the specificity 0.676. Conclusion: The plasma levels of CEACAM-1 and NrCAM were significantly up-regulated in MDD, and their combined application was of potential diagnostic value, deserving to expand the sample size for further verification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) plays an important role in neurodevelopmental processes and regulates hippocampal plasticity. This study investigated the relationship between the serum NCAM concentrations and hippocampal volume and psychotic symptoms in first-episode drug naïve schizophrenia (FES) patients. METHODS Forty-four FES patients and forty-four healthy controls (HC) were recruited in this study. Serum concentrations of NCAM were measured by ELISA. Psychiatric symptoms were assessed by the positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS). Brain structural images were obtained using a 3T MRI Scanner and obtained T1 images were processed in order to determine hippocampal grey matter volumes. RESULTS Schizophrenia patients revealed significantly decreased serum NCAM concentrations (p = 0.017), which were positively correlated with the left (r = 0.523, p < 0.001) and right (r = 0.449, p = 0.041) hippocampal volumes, but negatively correlated with the PANSS positive symptom scores (r = -0.522 p = 0.001). However, no such correlations existed in the HC group. CONCLUSIONS This is the first time to report that decreased serum NCAM concentrations were associated with hippocampal volumes and symptom severity in FES patients. Our data indicate that the low NCAM is possible neuropathology that is associated with the decreased hippocampus in FES patients.

Abstract
To examine the role of neuroplasticity in the pathology of psychiatric disorders, we measured cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) neuroplasticity-associated protein levels. Participants were 94 patients with schizophrenia, 68 with bipolar disorder (BD), 104 with major depressive disorder (MDD), and 118 healthy controls, matched for age, sex, and ethnicity (Japanese). A multiplex immunoassay (22-plex assay) was performed to measure CSF neuroplasticity-associated protein levels. Among 22 proteins, 11 were successfully measured in the assay. CSF amyloid precursor protein (APP) and glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) levels were significantly lower in patients with schizophrenia, and CSF APP and neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM)-1 levels were significantly lower in patients with BD, than in healthy controls (all p < 0.05). Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale total, positive, and general scores were significantly and positively correlated with CSF hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) (p < 0.01) and S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B) (p < 0.05) levels in patients with schizophrenia. Young mania-rating scale score was significantly and positively correlated with CSF S100B level in patients with BD (p < 0.05). Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, core, sleep, activity, somatic anxiety, and delusion subscale scores were significantly and positively correlated with CSF HGF level, while sleep subscale score was positively correlated with CSF S100B and VEGF receptor 2 levels in patients with MDD (p < 0.05). Our results suggest that CSF APP, GDNF, and NCAM-1 levels are associated with psychiatric disorders, and that CSF HGF, S100B, and VEGF receptor 2 levels are related to psychiatric symptoms.

Abstract
The development of cerebral cortex requires spatially and temporally orchestrated proliferation, migration, and differentiation of neural progenitor cells (NPCs). The molecular mechanisms underlying cortical development are, however, not fully understood. The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) has been suggested to play a role in corticogenesis. Here we show that NCAM is dynamically expressed in the developing cortex. NCAM expression in NPCs is highest in the neurogenic period and declines during the gliogenic period. In mice bearing an NPC-specific NCAM deletion, proliferation of NPCs is reduced, and production of cortical neurons is delayed, while formation of cortical glia is advanced. Mechanistically, NCAM enhances actin polymerization in NPCs by interacting with actin-associated protein profilin2. NCAM-dependent regulation of NPCs is blocked by mutations in the profilin2 binding site. Thus, NCAM plays an essential role in NPC proliferation and fate decision during cortical development by regulating profilin2-dependent actin polymerization.

Jesudas BR, Nandeesha H, Menon V, Allimuthu P. Relationship of elevated neural cell adhesion molecule 1 with interleukin-10 and disease severity in bipolar disorder. Asian J Psychiatr 2020; 47:101849. [PMID: 31704596 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajp.2019.101849] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2019] [Revised: 10/16/2019] [Accepted: 10/16/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Neural plasticity and inflammation are known to play a role in the pathogenesis of Bipolar disorder. The data related to markers of neural plasticity in bipolar disorder are limited. The objective of the study was to assess the levels of neural cell adhesion molecule 1 (NCAM 1) and interleukin-10 and their association with disease severity in bipolar disorder. 40 bipolar disorder I patients with acute manic symptoms and 40 age matched controls were enrolled in the study. Neural cell adhesion molecule 1 and interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels were assessed in both the groups. NCAM 1 and interleukin-10 levels were significantly increased in bipolar disorder when compared with controls. There was significant positive correlation of Young Mania Rating score with NCAM 1 (r = 0.538, p = < 0.001) in patients with BD. Multi variate analysis revealed that IL-10 (p = 0.021) was lower in controls by 0.012 ng/L and NCAM 1(p = 0.048) was lower in controls by 0.002 ng/L compared to BD cases and this difference was statistically significant. Based on the findings we conclude that neural cell adhesion molecule 1 is increased and associated with disease severity in bipolar disorder.

Exploring Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor and Cell Adhesion Molecules as Biomarkers for the Transdiagnostic Symptom Anhedonia in Alcohol Use Disorder and Comorbid Depression. Front Psychiatry 2020; 11:296. [PMID: 32372985 PMCID: PMC7184244 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2020.00296] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2020] [Accepted: 03/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and depressive disorder often co-exist and have a shared heritability. This study aimed to investigate Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and three Cell Adhesion Molecules (CAMs) as transdiagnostic biomarkers in AUD and depression co-morbidity. METHODS In a cross-sectional study, patients with AUD (n=22), AUD and depression (n=19), and healthy controls (n=20) were examined. Depression and anxiety severity were assessed using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale. Anhedonia, alcohol use and dependence, craving, and social adaptation were assessed through self-report questionnaires. BDNF and CAM concentrations in peripheral serum were measured after overnight fasting using a Luminex assay. After controlling for age and gender, biomarker levels were compared across groups. The association between biomarker concentrations and symptom severity scales were explored using correlation and multiple regression analyses. RESULTS BDNF and Neuronal CAM were lower in patients with AUD with and without depression compared to healthy controls. No differences were observed for Vascular CAM-1 and Interstitial CAM-1. BDNF correlated negatively with anhedonia levels. BDNF, age and gender together explained 21% of variability in anhedonia levels. CONCLUSION This pilot study suggests that peripheral levels of BDNF and NCAM might be reduced in AUD with and without comorbid mood disorder. Since low BDNF levels were associated with self- reported anhedonia across these conditions, BDNF and anhedonia might reflect transdiagnostic aspects involved in AUD and depression.

Abstract
The mechanism underlying the progression of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis to secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS), characterized by accumulating fixed disability, is yet to be fully understood. Although alterations in the gut microbiota have recently been highlighted in multiple sclerosis pathogenesis, the mechanism linking the altered gut environment with the remote CNS pathology remains unclear. Here, we analyse human CD4+ memory T cells expressing the gut-homing chemokine receptor CCR9 and found a reduced frequency of CCR9+ memory T cells in the peripheral blood of patients with SPMS relative to healthy controls. The reduction in the proportion of CCR9+ cells among CD4+ memory T cells (%CCR9) in SPMS did not correlate with age, disease duration or expanded disability status scale score, although %CCR9 decreased linearly with age in healthy controls. During the clinical relapse of both, relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica, a high proportion of cells expressing the lymphocyte activating 3 gene (LAG3) was detected among CCR9+ memory T cells isolated from the CSF, similar to that observed for mouse regulatory intraepithelial lymphocytes. In healthy individuals, CCR9+ memory T cells expressed higher levels of CCR6, a CNS-homing chemokine receptor, and exhibited a regulatory profile characterized by both the expression of C-MAF and the production of IL-4 and IL-10. However, in CCR9+ memory T cells, the expression of RORγt was specifically upregulated, and the production of IL-17A and IFNγ was high in patients with SPMS, indicating a loss of regulatory function. The evaluation of other cytokines supported the finding that CCR9+ memory T cells acquire a more inflammatory profile in SPMS, reporting similar aspects to CCR9+ memory T cells of the elderly healthy controls. CCR9+ memory T cell frequency decreased in germ-free mice, whereas antibiotic treatment increased their number in specific pathogen-free conditions. Here, we also demonstrate that CCR9+ memory T cells preferentially infiltrate into the inflamed CNS resulting from the initial phase and that they express LAG3 in the late phase in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mouse model of multiple sclerosis. Antibiotic treatment reduced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis symptoms and was accompanied by an increase in CCR9+ memory T cells in the peripheral blood. Antibodies against mucosal vascular addressin cell adhesion molecule 1 (MADCAM1), which is capable of blocking cell migration to the gut, also ameliorated experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Overall, we postulate that the alterations in CCR9+ memory T cells observed, caused by either the gut microbiota changes or ageing, may lead to the development of SPMS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about what leads to recovery between relapses in multiple sclerosis (MS), particularly following treatment. In the past, it has been demonstrated that soluble neural cell adhesion molecule (sNCAM), a putative biomarker of neuroplasticity, increased following steroid treatment in the Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of MS subjects undergoing acute relapses. Taking this a step further, we have evaluated the effect of disease-modifying treatment (DMTs) on CSF sNCAM levels in various subtypes of MS. METHODS We measured CSF sNCAM levels at baseline and after 12-24 months of DMT in 69 patients, 49 relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), 20 progressive MS(PMS), and 24 healthy controls (HC) using an in-house ELISA. Of this, 31 patients had received natalizumab, 17 mitoxantrone, and 21 fingolimod. Changes in disability were measured using EDSS and disease severity by MSSS. In conjunction, CSF NfL levels were also measured. RESULTS At baseline, the mean sNCAM level was 268.7 ng/mL (SD: 109 ng/mL) in MS patients compared with 340.6 ng/ml (SD: 139 ng/mL) in HC, and PMS had significantly lower sNCAM (239.2 ng/mL, SD: 123.0, P = 0.019) compared to RRMS (269.4, SD: 127.4, P = 0.043). After natalizumab and mitoxantrone treatments, we observed an increase in mean sNCAM. However, in the fingolimod-treated group, mean sNCAM decreased. There was no correlation found with EDSS or MSSS, or NfL levels as a whole. CONCLUSIONS Cerebrospinal fluid sNCAM levels were found to be lower in MS than in HC and the lowest sNCAM levels were found in PMS. Following natalizumab and mitoxantrone treatments, we observed an elevation in sNCAM levels, an effect that was not observed following fingolimod treatment. These changes, however, did not appear to correlate with disability in the short-term or NfL levels.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease and the early diagnosis and intervention are important for valid treatment of AD. However, there are few biomarkers for the diagnosis and monitoring of AD. In the present study, circulating APP, NCAM, Aβ40, and Aβ42 were measured in order to identify which marker or combination of markers could be useful, cost-effective and noninvasive biomarkers for diagnosing and continuously monitoring AD. The results showed that circulating APP, NCAM, Aβ40, and Aβ42 were different between the AD group and the control group. Importantly, the combination of the four biomarkers had the highest AUC (0.997) with the highest sensitivity (98.5). Therefore, circulating APP, NCAM, Aβ40, and Aβ42 can be used as desirable biomarkers for AD diagnosis and monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pathophysiological processes of bipolar disorder (BD) may be detectable by the use of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers. AIM We aimed for the first time to review studies of CSF biomarkers in patients with BD compared to healthy control individuals (HC). We investigated the effect of diagnosis, age, gender, clinical state, medication, technical characteristics of tests, fasting state and, cognitive function if applicable. METHOD We did a systematic review according to the PRISMA Statement based on comprehensive database searches for studies on cerebrospinal biomarkers in patients with bipolar disorder versus HC. Risk of bias was systematically assessed. RESULTS The search strategy identified 410 studies of which thirty-four fulfilled the inclusion criteria. A total of 117 unique biomarkers were investigated, out of which 11 were evaluated in more than one study. Forty biomarkers showed statistically significant differences between BD and HC in single studies. Only the findings of elevated homovanillic acid and 5-hydroxy-indoleacetic acid were replicated across studies. Most studies had a cross sectional design and were influenced by risk of bias mainly due to small sample size, lack of data on mood state at the time of the CSF puncture and not considering potential confounders including age, gender, diagnoses, BMI, life style factors such as smoking, and psychotropic medication. CONCLUSION Specific monoamine CSF biomarkers may be related to the pathophysiology of BD. Future studies must aim at increasing the level of evidence by validating the positive findings in prospective studies with stringent methodology.
