Abstract
OBJECTIVE Status epilepticus (SE) is a life-threatening prolonged epileptic seizure that affects ~40 per 100 000 people yearly worldwide. The persistence of seizures may lead to excitotoxic processes, neuronal loss, and neuroinflammation, resulting in long-term neurocognitive and functional disabilities. A better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying SE consequences is crucial for improving SE management and preventing secondary neuronal injury. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive untargeted metabolomic analysis, using liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS), on plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from 78 adult patients with SE and 107 control patients without SE, including 29 with CSF for both groups. The metabolomic fingerprints were compared between patients with SE and controls. Metabolites with differences in relative abundances that could not be attributed to treatment or nutrition provided in the intensive care unit were isolated. Enrichment analysis was performed on these metabolites to identify the most affected pathways. RESULTS We identified 76 metabolites in the plasma and 37 in the CSF that exhibited differential expression in patients with SE compared to controls. The enrichment analysis revealed that metabolic dysregulations in patients with SE affected primarily amino acid metabolism (including glutamate, alanine, tryptophan, glycine, and serine metabolism), pyrimidine metabolism, and lipid homeostasis. Specifically, patients with SE had elevated levels of pyruvate, quinolinic acid, and keto butyric acid levels, along with lower levels of arginine, N-acetylaspartylglutamate (NAAG), tryptophan, uracil, and uridine. The tryptophan kynurenine pathway was identified as the most significantly altered in SE, resulting in the overproduction of quinolinic acid, an N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor agonist with pro-inflammatory properties. SIGNIFICANCE This study has identified several pathways that may play pivotal roles in SE consequences, such as the tryptophan kynurenine pathway. These findings offer novel perspectives for the development of neuroprotective therapeutics.

Abstract
Alterations of nitric oxide (NO) homeostasis have been described in mood disorders. However, the analytical challenges associated with the direct measurement of NO have prompted the search for alternative biomarkers of NO synthesis. We investigated the published evidence of the association between these alternative biomarkers and mood disorders (depressive disorder or bipolar disorder). Electronic databases were searched from inception to the June 30, 2023. In 20 studies, there was a trend towards significantly higher asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) in mood disorders vs. controls (p = 0.072), and non-significant differences in arginine (p = 0.29), citrulline (p = 0.35), symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA; p = 0.23), and ornithine (p = 0.42). In subgroup analyses, the SMD for ADMA was significant in bipolar disorder (p < 0.001) and European studies (p = 0.02), the SMDs for SDMA (p = 0.001) and citrulline (p = 0.038) in European studies, and the SMD for ornithine in bipolar disorder (p = 0.007), Asian (p = 0.001) and American studies (p = 0.005), and patients treated with antidepressants (p = 0.029). The abnormal concentrations of ADMA, SDMA, citrulline, and ornithine in subgroups of mood disorders, particularly bipolar disorder, warrant further research to unravel their pathophysiological role and identify novel treatments in this group (The protocol was registered in PROSPERO: CRD42023445962).

Abstract
AIMS Status epilepticus (SE) is the most common neurological emergency in pediatric patients. This study aimed to screen for prognostic biomarkers of SE in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using metabolomics. METHODS Ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS) was conducted to identify prognostic biomarkers in CSF metabolomics by comparing the poor outcome group (N = 13) with the good outcome group (N = 15) of children with SE. Differentially expressed metabolites were identified using Mann-Whitney U test corrected by Benjamini-Hochberg and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). RESULTS The PLS-DA model identified and validated significant metabolic differences between the poor and good outcome groups of children with SE (PLS-DA with R2 Y = 0.992 and Q2 = 0.798). A total of 49 prognosis-related metabolites were identified. Of these metabolites, 20 including glutamyl-glutamine, 3-iodothyronamine, and L-fucose had an area under the curve (AUC) ≥ 80% in prognostic prediction of SE. The logistic regression model combining glutamyl-glutamine and 3-iodothyronamine produced an AUC value of 0.976, with a sensitivity of 0.863 and specificity of 0.956. Pathway analysis revealed that dysregulation of the citrate cycle (TCA) and arginine biosynthesis may contribute to poor SE prognosis. CONCLUSIONS This study highlighted the prognosis-related metabolomic disturbances in the CSF of children with SE and identified potential prognostic biomarkers. A prognostic prediction model combining glutamyl-glutamine and 3-iodothyronamine with high predictive value was established.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Believing that oxidative stress may be increased in borderline personality disorder (BPD) patients with self-mutilating behaviors (SMB), we aimed to measure serum asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in these patients. METHODS The study included 60 patients diagnosed with BPD and 30 healthy controls. BPD patients were divided into two groups: 30 female patients with SMB and 30 female patients with no-self-mutilating behavior (NSMB). ADMA, MDA, vitamin A, and vitamin E levels were analyzed. Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were conducted with the participants. RESULTS Serum ADMA and MDA levels were higher in SMB and NSMB group compared to control group. Serum vitamin E levels were also lower in the SMB group compared to the control group. Positive correlations were determined between both ADMA and MDA, and between BDI and BAI scores. Also, BAI scores were statistically higher in SMB group compared to NSMB group. CONCLUSION It was discovered that levels of ADMA and MDA, which reflected oxidative stress, were elevated in patients with BPD who exhibited SMB. Accordingly, future studies should investigate the role of oxidative stress in a more comprehensive way in terms of the different mechanisms underlying and treatments involved in borderline personality disorder.

Abstract
The enzyme dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 1 (DDAH1) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of nitric oxide levels by degrading the main endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitor asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA). Growing evidence highlight the potential implication of DDAH/ADMA axis in the etiopathogenesis of several neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, we sought to investigate the role of DDAH1 in behavioral endophenotypes with neuropsychiatric relevance. To achieve this, a global DDAH1 knock-out (DDAH1-ko) mouse strain was employed. Behavioral testing and brain region-specific neurotransmitter profiling have been conducted to assess the effect of both genotype and sex. DDAH1-ko mice exhibited increased exploratory behavior toward novel objects, altered amphetamine response kinetics and decreased dopamine metabolite 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) level in the piriform cortex and striatum. Females of both genotypes showed the most robust amphetamine response. These results support the potential implication of the DDAH/ADMA pathway in central nervous system processes shaping the behavioral outcome. Yet, further experiments are required to complement the picture and define the specific brain-regions and mechanisms involved.

Abstract
The endogenous methylated derivative of ʟ-arginine, Nω,Nω'-dimethyl-ʟ-arginine (asymmetric dimethylarginine, ADMA), an independent risk factor in many diseases, inhibits the activity of nitric oxide synthases and, consequently, modulates the availability of nitric oxide. While most studies on the biological role of ADMA have focused on endothelial and inducible nitric oxide synthases modulation and its contribution to cardiovascular, metabolic, and renal diseases, a role in regulating neuronal nitric oxide synthases and pathologies of the central nervous system is less understood. The two isoforms of dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH), DDAH1 and DDAH2, are thought to be the main enzymes responsible for ADMA catabolism. A current impediment is limited knowledge on specific tissue and cellular distribution of DDAH enzymes within the brain. In this study, we provide a detailed characterization of the regional and cellular distribution of DDAH1 and DDAH2 proteins in the adult murine and human brain. Immunohistochemical analysis showed a wide distribution of DDAH1, mapping to multiple cell types, while DDAH2 was detected in a limited number of brain regions and exclusively in neurons. Our results provide key information for the investigation of the pathophysiological roles of the ADMA/DDAH system in neuropsychiatric diseases and pave the way for the development of novel selective therapeutic approaches.

Uncovering associations between mental illness diagnosis, nitric oxide synthase gene variation, and peripheral nitric oxide concentration. Brain Behav Immun 2022; 101:275-283. [PMID: 35041938 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbi.2022.01.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2021] [Revised: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 01/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) signalling has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several mental illnesses; however, its specific contribution remains unclear. We investigated whether peripheral NO concentration is associated with specific diagnoses, and whether there is a correlation with genetic variation in NO synthase (NOS) genes. We included 185 participants in the study; 52 healthy controls, 43 major depressive disorder (MDD) patients, 41 bipolar disorder (BPD) patients, and 49 schizophrenia (SCZ) patients. Clinical, genetic, and biochemical data were collected at admission to a psychiatric hospital and at discharge. Serum was used to quantify concentration of the stable NO metabolites nitrite and nitrate. Individuals were genotyped for the NOS1 exon 1f variable number of tandem repeats 1 (VNTR1) polymorphism, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the NOS1, NOS1AP and NOS3 genes. At admission, SCZ patients were found to have significantly higher peripheral NO metabolite (NOx-) concentrations compared to healthy controls, MDD and BPD patients. NOS1 exon 1f VNTR1 short allele carriers were found to have significantly increased NOx- concentration. Moreover, this result was still significant in patients even at discharge. The data also revealed that patients who did not remit in their depressive symptoms had significantly increased NOx- concentration compared to remitters at discharge, supported by the finding of a significant positive correlation between depression symptom severity and NOx- concentration. Taken together, it is possible that elevated peripheral NOx- concentration is associated with increased severity of psychopathology, potentially due to NOS1 exon1f VNTR1 genotype. Our results further implicate NO signalling in mental illness pathogenesis, supporting its possible use as a peripheral biomarker, and imply that NOS genotype may play a significant role in regulating peripheral NOx- concentration.

Abstract
Increased reactive species due to the effect of antipsychotics on oxidative stress may be involved in the development of schizophrenia. However, antipsychotics may have different direct antioxidant effects due to their chemical structures. The present meta-analysis aimed to investigate whether the cause increased oxidant status in schizophrenia patients is due to the illness or induction by antipsychotics. Studies published from 1964 to 2021 were selected from Pubmed and Scopus databases. Data were analysed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis version 2. Effect sizes were calculated and compared between unmedicated and medicated patients and healthy controls. Heterogeneity and publication bias were assessed. Subgroup analyses were conducted on drug-free and drug-naïve patients, and patients treated with atypical and typical antipsychotics. We found that medicated patients had significantly higher malondialdehyde (MDA), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and total oxidant status (TOS). Meanwhile, significantly increased plasma/serum MDA and nitric oxide (NO) were observed in unmedicated patients only. Higher lipid peroxidation in the drug-naïve group may be associated schizophrenia. However, both atypical and typical antipsychotics may worsen lipid peroxidation. Antipsychotic discontinuation in the drug-free group led to significantly increased plasma/serum NO, with larger effect size than the atypical antipsychotic group. In conclusion, medicated schizophrenia patients were more suffered from increased oxidative stress. Therefore, future study may focus on the mechanism of action of specific antipsychotic on oxidative stress.

Abstract
To allow better diagnosis and management of psychiatric illnesses, the use of easily accessible biomarkers are proposed. Therefore, recognition of some diseases by a set of related pathogenesis biomarkers is a promising approach. The study aims to assess the usefulness of examining oxidative stress (OS) in schizophrenia as a potential biomarker of illness using the commonly used data mining decision tree method. The study group was comprised of 147 participants: 98 patients with schizophrenia (SZ group), and the control group (n = 49; HC). The patients with schizophrenia were divided into two groups: first-episode schizophrenia (n = 49; FS) and chronic schizophrenia (n = 49; CS). The assessment included the following biomarkers in sera of patients: catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD-1), glutathione reductase (GR), reduced glutathione (GSH), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP), advanced glycation end products (AGEs), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), dityrosine (DITYR), kynurenine (KYN), N-formylkynurenine (NFK), tryptophan (TRY), total oxidant status (TOS), nitric oxide (NO) and total protein. Maximum accuracy (89.36%) for distinguishing SZ from HC was attained with TOS and GPx (cut-off points: 392.70 and 15.33). For differentiating between FS and CS, the most promising were KYN, AOPP, TAC and NO (100%; cut-off points: 721.20, 0.55, 64.76 and 2.59). To distinguish FS from HC, maximum accuracy was found for GSH and TOS (100%; cut-off points: 859.96 and 0.31), and in order to distinguish CS from HC, the most promising were GSH and TOS (100%; cut-off points: 0.26 and 343.28). Using redox biomarkers would be the most promising approach for discriminating patients with schizophrenia from healthy individuals and, in the future, could be used as an add-on marker to diagnose and/or respond to treatment.

Abstract
Serum concentrations of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) in patients with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, and depression were determined and compared to serum concentrations in healthy individuals. In all psychiatric diseases investigated, the ADMA concentration was elevated compared to the control group. Patients with recurrent depressive disorder had higher ADMA levels than patients with only one depressive episode. No differences between women and men were found. The elevated ADMA levels suggest that ADMA is involved in the pathophysiology of psychiatric diseases.
