Abstract
Objective The prevalence and clinically associated factors of hyperuricemia (HUA) have been widely studied in the general population but rarely in patients with bipolar disorder (BPD) co-morbid with HUA. This study attempted to investigate the prevalence of HUA in BPD patients and analyze the associated correlates of HUA. Materials and methods In this study, 182 outpatients with BPD and 182 healthy controls participated. The demographic and clinical information were collected. The body weight, height, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), and blood pressure (BP) were measured. The levels of serum uric acid (UA), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), and fasting blood glucose (FBG) were also determined. Results BPD patients had a significantly higher prevalence of HUA (40.7%) compared to healthy controls (30.2%) (χ2 = 4.335, P = 0.037). The systolic blood pressure (SBP), pulse pressure (PP), FBG, UA, and body mass index (BMI) were higher in the BPD group compared with those in the control group, while the diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and HDL-C level were lower (P < 0.05) in BPD patients. The prevalence of HUA was higher in BPD patients who used antipsychotics combined with mood stabilizers than that in BPD subjects receiving the mood stabilizers alone (P < 0.001). The prevalence of HUA and increased serum UA levels were higher in the manic group (62.1%) than in the depressive (34.3%) or euthymia group (17.0%) (P < 0.001). Additionally, the severity of mania was positively correlated with the UA level (r = 0.410, P < 0.001). There were significant differences in terms of MetS (29.7% vs. 14.8%), BMI, HC, WC, TG, and HDL-C between the HUA and the non-HUA groups (P < 0.05). The unconditional logistic regression analysis revealed that high BMI (OR = 1.210; 95%CI: 1.100–1.331) and high TG level (OR = 1.652; 95%CI: 1.058–2.580) were the major risk factorids for HUA in BPD patients. Conclusion Our study suggests that patients with BPD are prone to metabolic diseases such as HUA. Higher serum levels of TG and high BMI could be associated with HUA development. Clinicians need to regularly monitor and evaluate BPD patients for their serum UA levels, especially for BPD patients with manic/hypomanic episodes and/or under the treatment of antipsychotics combined with mood stabilizers.

Abstract
Objective Investigating the molecular basis of bipolar disorder (BD) is crucial in terms of developing effective treatment strategies as well as objective laboratory-based diagnostic tools for the disease. Methods We examined the urine samples of BD patients both in manic episode and after remission and compared their urinary protein profiles with the controls. Twelve patients and twelve controls (C group) included to the study. Urinary samples of patients were first collected during manic episode (M group) and then after remission (R group). Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) coupled to MALDI-TOF/TOF massspectrometry approach and Western blot analysis were used. Results Alphα-1-microglobulin and bukinin precursor (AMBP), Mannan-binding lectine serin protease-2 (MASP-2), and Ig gamma-1-chain displayed significant increases in their abundance in the urine protein pool of M group in comparison to the C and R groups. Alpha-1B glycoprotein and prostaglandin-H2 D-isomerase (PGD2) levels were significantly higher in the urine protein pool of the M and R groups in comparison to the C group. Annexin A1 was downregulated significantly in the urine protein pool of the M group in comparison to the C group. Conclusion Intensities of MASP-2 and AMBP proteins discriminated manic episode from remission period and healthy controls indicating that these proteins may be candidate biomarkers for manic episode. The decrease in Annexin A1 and increase in Ig gamma-1 chain levels appeared to be associated with “Manic Episode” while the increase in PGD2 and alpha-1B glycoprotein levels appeared to be associated with “Bipolar Disorder”.

Abstract
The diagnostic peripheral biomarkers are still lacking for the bipolar II disorder (BD-II). We used isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification technology to identify five upregulated candidate proteins [matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9), phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase subunit beta (FARSB), peroxiredoxin 2 (PRDX2), carbonic anhydrase 1 (CA-1), and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9)] for the diagnosis of BD-II. We analysed the differences in the plasma levels of these candidate proteins between BD-II patients and controls (BD-II, n = 185; Controls, n = 186) using ELISA. To establish a diagnostic model for the prediction of BD-II, the participants were divided randomly into a training group (BD-II, n = 149; Controls, n = 150) and a testing group (BD-II, n = 36; Controls, n = 36). Significant increases were found in all five protein levels between BD-II and controls in the training group. Logistic regression was analysed to form the composite probability score of the five proteins in the training group. Receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis revealed the diagnostic validity of the probability score [area under curve (AUC) = 0.89, P < 0.001]. The composite probability score of the testing group also showed good diagnostic validity (AUC = 0.86, P < 0.001). We propose that plasma levels of PRDX2, CA-1, FARSB, MMP9, and PCSK9 may be associated with BD-II as potential biomarkers.

P2X7 Purinergic Receptor Is Involved in the Pathophysiology of Mania: a Preclinical Study. Mol Neurobiol 2019; 57:1347-1360.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of bipolar disorder remains incompletely elucidated. The purinergic receptor, P2X7 (P2X7R), plays a central role in neuroinflammation, the establishment, and maintenance of microglial activation and neuronal damage/death, all characteristics of bipolar disorder pathology. The present study aims to explore the participation of the P2X7R in a preclinical pharmacological model of mania. We analyzed the modulatory effects of the P2X7R antagonist, brilliant blue, on behavior, monoamines, gene expression, serum purine levels, and cell typing in a pharmacological model of mania induced by D-amphetamine (AMPH) in mice. Our results corroborate an association between the P2X7 receptor and the preclinical animal model of mania, as demonstrated by the decreased responsiveness to AMPH in animals with pharmacologically blocked P2X7R. This study further suggests a possible dopaminergic mechanism for the action of P2X7 receptor antagonism. Additionally, we observed increased peripheral levels of adenosine, a neuroprotective molecule, and increased central expression of Entpd3 and Entpd1 leading to the hydrolysis of ATP, a danger signal, possibly as an attempt to compensate for the damage induced by AMPH. Lastly, P2X7R antagonism in the AMPH model was found to potentially modulate astrogliosis. Our results support the hypothesis that P2X7R plays a vital role in the pathophysiology of mania, possibly by modulating the dopaminergic pathway and astrogliosis, as reflected in the behavioral changes observed. Taken together, this study suggests that a purinergic system imbalance is associated with the AMPH-induced preclinical animal model of mania. P2X7R may represent a promising molecular therapeutic target for bipolar disorder.

Antioxidant uric acid in treated and untreated subjects with major depressive disorder: a meta-analysis and meta-regression. Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci 2018.

Abstract
Pathophysiological mechanisms of major depressive disorder (MDD) seem to be associated with oxidative stress pathways and altered purinergic metabolism. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate if subjects with MDD might have reduced levels of antioxidant uric acid, considering also potential influence of antidepressant treatment. We searched the main Electronic Databases, identifying 14 studies that met our inclusion criteria. Meta-analyses were carried out generating pooled Hedges' g and mean differences (MDs), using random-effects models. Heterogeneity across studies and risk of publication bias were estimated using standard methods. Relevant sensitivity and meta-regression analyses were conducted. Subjects with MDD had levels of uric acid lower than healthy controls (Hedges' g = -0.30; p = 0.003). Overall between-study heterogeneity was high (I 2 = 76.3%). The effect was significant among studies including drug naïve/free MDD individuals (Hedges' g = -0.55; p = 0.023), but not among those involving treated subjects (Hedges' g = -0.15; p = 0.062). Relevant quality- and heterogeneity-based sensitivity analyses, as well as meta-regressions, confirmed these findings. In addition, uric acid levels significantly, though inconsistently (I 2 = 79.2%), increased after treatment (MD = +0.71 mg/dL; p < 0.001), regardless of follow-up duration (p = 0.518). Our meta-analysis shows that subjects with MDD have lower levels of uric acid. Since antidepressant treatment seems to influence this association, our findings support the hypothesis that uric acid levels may represent a state marker of MDD. Nevertheless, the potential role of additional factors that might clarify the nature of this association deserves further research.

Abstract
Purinergic signalling, i.e., the role of nucleotides as extracellular signalling molecules, was proposed in 1972. However, this concept was not well accepted until the early 1990's when receptor subtypes for purines and pyrimidines were cloned and characterised, which includes four subtypes of the P1 (adenosine) receptor, seven subtypes of P2X ion channel receptors and 8 subtypes of the P2Y G protein-coupled receptor. Early studies were largely concerned with the physiology, pharmacology and biochemistry of purinergic signalling. More recently, the focus has been on the pathophysiology and therapeutic potential. There was early recognition of the use of P1 receptor agonists for the treatment of supraventricular tachycardia and A2A receptor antagonists are promising for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Clopidogrel, a P2Y12 antagonist, is widely used for the treatment of thrombosis and stroke, blocking P2Y12 receptor-mediated platelet aggregation. Diquafosol, a long acting P2Y2 receptor agonist, is being used for the treatment of dry eye. P2X3 receptor antagonists have been developed that are orally bioavailable and stable in vivo and are currently in clinical trials for the treatment of chronic cough, bladder incontinence, visceral pain and hypertension. Antagonists to P2X7 receptors are being investigated for the treatment of inflammatory disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases. Other investigations are in progress for the use of purinergic agents for the treatment of osteoporosis, myocardial infarction, irritable bowel syndrome, epilepsy, atherosclerosis, depression, autism, diabetes, and cancer.
