Steroidomics in Men with Schizophrenia

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Schizophrenia is associated with numerous abnormalities, including imbalances in all hormonal axes, among which steroids play a major role. Steroidomic studies therefore represent a promising tool for early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of schizophrenia. A total of 51 adult male schizophrenics aged 27 (22, 34) years (shown as median with quartiles) and 16 healthy controls (HCs) aged 28 (25, 32) years were enrolled into this study. Our results showed the effective differentiation of men with schizophrenia from controls based on steroidomic profiles. We also found an altered metabolic pathway from pregnenolone and its sulfate (PREG/S) to cortisol in schizophrenics with several metabolic bottlenecks such as lower PREG levels due to increased PREG sulfation and/or suppressed PREGS desulfation and attenuated conversion of 17-hydroxy-PREG to 17-hydroxy-progesterone, as well as the results suggestive of suppressed CYP11B1 activity. In contrast, steroid molar ratios suggested two counterregulatory steps involving increased conversion of PREG/S to 17-hydroxy-PREG/S and decreased conversion of cortisol to cortisone, which may maintain unchanged basal cortisol levels but may not ensure a sufficient cortisol response to stress. Our data also indicated a trend to higher 7 alpha-, 7 beta-, and 16 alpha-hydroxylation that may counteract the autoimmune complications and proinflammatory processes accompanying schizophrenia. Finally, a possible suppression of HSD17B3 activity was suggested, resulting in decreased circulating testosterone levels with increased androstenedione levels.
