Recognition-behavioral stress-coping humoral glycolipids produced by medicated major psychoses patients

Background Mammalians have the recognition-behavioral stress-coping system regulated via the neuronal modules followed by some humoral glycolipids. A sulfated Galbeta1-4GlcNAc-lipid promotes the serotonergic module. GalNAcalpha1-3GalNAc-lipid promotes the adrenergic module. A Fucalpha1-2Glc-lipid protects the cholinergic module. Sialalpha2-3Gal-lipid promotes the dopaminergic module. Methods Major psychoses patients show the emotional and recognition-behavioral symptoms, and long-time medication does not completely delete the symptoms. I examined the recognition-behavioral stress-coping humoral glycolipids produced by medicated major psychoses patients. Results The major depression patients produced the sulfated Galbeta1-4GlcNAc-lipid and the sulfated Fucalpha1-2Glc-lipid, but deduced the GalNAcalpha1-3GalNAc-lipid. The mania patients produced the sulfated Galbeta1-4GlcNAc-lipid. The schizophrenia patients produced the sulfated Galbeta1-4GlcNAc-lipid, and remarkably produced the Sialalpha2-3Gal-lipid. Ruled out the medication-effects, the major depression patients decreased the serotonergic module function and the adrenergic module function, but increased the cholinergic module function. The mania patients increased the serotonergic module function and the adrenergic module function. The schizophrenia patients increased the serotonergic module function, and particularly increased the dopaminergic module function. Conclusion These suggest the stress-coping humoral glycolipids produced by the patients corresponded to the symptoms. Furthermore, I understood the humoral Sialalpha2-3Gal-lipid would be considered as another biomarker identifying schizophrenia.

Medication decreases the symptoms, but even the long-time medication does not completely delete the symptoms.
In mammalian brains, the amygdala has an important role for inducing the emotional behaviors. The ventral striatum has an important role for determining the behaviors. The caudal nucleus has an important role for learning, and the hippocampus has an important role for memorizing stressors. These brain portions are networked via serotonergic neurons radiated from the raphe nucleus and dopaminergic neurons radiated from the substantia nigra. The cerebral cortex adequately integrates information sent from these brain portions. The networked-portions work as individual neuronal modules [1,2]. The modules are followed by some humoral glycolipids. A sulfated Galbeta1-4GlcNAc-lipid (3- the serotonergic module regulating the emotional behaviors for not-wasting the physical strength [3,4], GalNAcalpha1-3GalNAc-lipid (GalNAcalpha1->3GalNAc-lipid: GN1-3GN) promotes the adrenergic module inducing the stress-coping behaviors [5,6], sulfated Fucalpha1-2Glc-lipid (Fucalpha1-2[6OSO3]Galbeta1-4Glcbeta-lipid: sF1-2G) protects the cholinergic module keeping the valid stress-coping memories from the ischemia-stress, as an adaptogen does [4,7,8], and Sialalpha2-3Gal-lipid (NeuAcalpha2-3Gal-lipid: S2-3G) promotes the dopaminergic module integrating the emotion and recognition-behaviors [9,10,11]. Now, major depression patients have the functional abnormalities in their amygdala, caudate nucleus and hippocampus [12], manic patients have the functional abnormalities in their amygdala, ventral striatum and hippocampus [13], and schizophrenia patients have the functional abnormalities in their frontal and temporal lobes [14].
The recognition-behavioral stress-coping system of major psychoses patients would 4 abnormally work. Especially, schizophrenia patients alter the glycolipid production in the brain [15,16], and their neuronal modules are abnormally networked [17,18]. I hypothesized the major psychoses patients would abnormally produce the recognitionbehavioral stress-coping glycolipids even in the medicated state. In the present study, I examine the recognition-behavioral stress-coping glycolipids produced by medicated major psychoses patients, and healthy volunteers as Positive Control. Humoral lipid fractionation 5 Humoral lipid fractionation was performed as previously described [4]. Briefly, 1.25 ml of chloroform and 2.5 ml of methanol were added to each 1 ml of the pooled serum. The solution was intensively mixed for 3 min and incubated for 10 min at room temperature (RT). Then, 1.25 ml of chloroform was added to the solution, and followed by intensive mixing for 30 s. A 1 ml of water was added to the solution, and followed by intensive mixing for another 30 s. The mixture was then centrifuged at 150 gravities for 10 min at RT. The lower chloroform layer was collected, and the solvent chloroform was evaporated at RT. The extracted lipids were then suspended in 1 ml of water. The solution was applied to 0.5 ml of an ion exchanger DE-52 (Whatman Co., Maidstone, UK) column, which had been saturated with 10 mM NaHCO 3, pH8.3, and washed with water. Samples were eluted with 0.5 ml consecutive washes of 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 mM NaCl. Fractions eluted with 50, 100, 150, and 250 mM NaCl were then diluted to 1 ml with water as the present samples.

Sulfate-radical elimination
Stress-coping humoral glycolipids fractionated with 100 and 250 mM NaCl are sulfated.
Sulfate-radical was eliminated from the glycolipids for measuring the terminal sugar-chain reactivity as previously described [4]. Briefly, lipids were extracted again from 800 µl of the sample solutions by using methanol-chloroform method as described above. The extracted lipids were added 400 µl of the reagent containing silyl-agents of TMS-HT kit (Tokyo Chemical Industry Co. Tokyo, Japan), and then, incubated at 90 ℃ for 3 h. The solutions were added 800 µl water, and intensively mixed for 30 s.

Measurement of the glycolipid production
Bipolar glycolipids attach to plastic plates in 50 % ethanol solution. A modified Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) was performed for measuring the glycolipids 6 production as previously described [4]. Briefly, the sample solution obtained from the fraction eluted with 50 or 150 mM NaCl, the sulfate-radical-eliminated sample solution obtained from the fraction eluted with 100 or 250 mM NaCl, and physiological saline (PS) as Negative Control, were prepared to 50 % ethanol solution. 100 µl of the solution was poured into a well of a 96-well plastic plate (Sumitomo-Bakelite Co., Tokyo, Japan). The

Statistical analyses
Mann-Whitney U-test was used for detecting difference from Positive Control. A p<0.05 was considered as a significant difference.

Results
A sG1-4GN production A sG1-4GN is produced in the fraction eluted with 100 mM NaCl. The production was detected in all of the samples. The production was increased as the same in the samples obtained from the DP, the MA and the SZ (Table 1).

GN1-3GN production
GN1-3GN is produced in the fraction eluted with 150 mM NaCl. The production was detected in all of the samples. The production was decreased in the sample obtained from 7 the DP (Table 2).
A sF1-2G production A sF1-2G is produced in the fraction eluted with 250 mM NaCl. The production was detected in all of the samples. The production was increased in the sample obtained from the DP (Table 3).

S2-3G production
A S2-3G is produced in the fraction eluted with 50 mM NaCl. The production was detected in all of the samples. The production was markedly increased in the sample obtained from the SZ (Table 4).

Discussion
A sG1-4GN is produced for not-wasting the physical strength, and the deduction would indicate decrease of the physical strength. GN1-3GN is produced for inducing the valid stress-coping behaviors, and the deduction would indicate invalidity of the stress-coping behaviors. A sF1-2G is produced for keeping the stress-coping memories, and the excessive production would indicate searching more valid stress-coping memory. A S2-3G is produced for integrating the emotion and recognition-behaviors, on the contrary, the excessive production would disturb the integration [9,10,11]. Now, Positive Control produced sG1-4GN, GN1-3GN, sF1-2G and S2-3G. This indicates healthy human always prepares these glycolipids for their stress-coping. The DP increased the sG1-4GN production and the sF1-2G production but deceased the GN1-3GN production.
Antidepressants increases sG1-4GN production and GN1-3GN production [3,6]. These suggest the DP had the serotonergic module dysfunction, the adrenergic module dysfunction and the cholinergic module hyperactivity without the medication. The DP could not induce the valid stress-coping behavior, and they would decrease the 8 serotonergic module function for not-wasting the physical strength. On the other hand, they would increase the cholinergic module function for searching a valid stress-coping memory. The MA increased the sG1-4GN production. Lithium carbonate decreases GN1-3GN production of hypomanic patients [5]. These suggest the MA had the adrenergic module hyperactivity and the serotonergic module hyperactivity before the medication.
The MA could induce the valid stress-coping behavior by successfully working the adrenergic module, and they would increase the serotonergic module function for continuing the effective stress-coping behavior. The SZ increased the sG1-4GN production, and remarkably increased the S2-3G production. Psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia patients are induced by the dopaminergic and the serotonergic neuronal hyperactivities [19], and the cognitive dysfunction is closely related to the dopaminergic neuronal hyperactivity [20]. Atypical antipsychotics decrease both of the dopaminergic neuronal activity and the serotonergic neuronal activity, however, the long-time medication does not completely delete the psychotic symptoms and the cognitive disturbance. These suggest the SZ had the dopaminergic module hyperactivity and the serotonergic module hyperactivity in spite of the medication. The SZ might be forced to promote the dopaminergic module for integrating the mismatching input sent from the hyperactive serotonergic module and the not-so active adrenergic module.
The presented humoral glycolipids may be cerebrosides [3,4,6]. A ganglioside, one of cerebrosides, induces synaptic plasticity of the hippocampus [21]. The presented recognition-behavioral stress-coping glycolipids would promote synaptic plasticity in the corresponding neuronal modules. In fact, both of the repeated electroconvulsive treatment for major depression patients and the lithium carbonate medication for mania patients increase the synaptic plasticity [22,23]. Now, the stress-coping glycolipids are produced via the gene expressions. Onset of the major psychoses is closely related to the physical and mental stresses, and these strong stresses accelerate secretions of gene-expressing hormones via Hypothalamus-Pituitary Axis. Especially, levels of the gene-expressing cortisol are different in the brain potions of schizophrenia patients [24], and cortisolmedication sometimes induces psychotic symptoms. Cortisol might induce the S2-3G gene expression in schizophrenia patients.
Some researchers have investigated biomarkers of schizophrenia in the view of the proteins, the metabolites and the RNAs in the peripheral blood [25,26]. Mechanism of S2-3G produced in the peripheral blood is not be clarified in the present time, however, I understand the humoral glycolipid would be considered as another biomarker identifying schizophrenia.

Conclusion
I examined recognition-behavioral stress-coping humoral glycolipids produced by medicated major psychoses patients. The stress-coping humoral glycolipids productions corresponded to the psychoses symptoms, furthermore, I understood Sialalpha2-3Gal-lipid would be considered as another biomarker identifying schizophrenia.
