Article Snippet: We found that the TGF-β and BMP signaling canonical pathways were highly dysregulated in schizophrenia ( GeneGo : p < 0.0001), with up-regulation of several genes immediately downstream from the TGF-β1 receptor ( available online at http://informahealthcare. com/doi/abs/10.3109/01677063.2014.882918 ; ).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Canonical cholesterol biosynthesis pathway map in Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis. Transcriptional changes associated with cholesterol biosynthesis pathway in Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV)‐infected mice in comparison with mock‐infected control mice, illustrated in the canonical cholesterol biosynthesis pathway map from Metacore™ database (Genego, St. Joseph, MI, USA). The bars labeled from one to four display the fold changes of significantly differentially regulated genes in TMEV‐infected animals (n = 6) compared with mock‐infected animals (n = 6) on 4 days post infection (dpi) employing pair‐wise Mann–Whitney U‐tests (P ≤ 0.05) (1 = 14 dpi; 2 = 42 dpi; 3 = 98 dpi; 4 = 196 dpi). The blue indicator scale of the bar marks the down‐regulation and displays a comparable measurement of the magnitude of the negative fold change. Green arrows = positive functional interaction; Z = catalysis; gray arrows = technical links; orange icons = enzymes; purple hexagons = generic compound; blue rectangle = normal process; gray rectangle = reaction. Acat1 = acetyl‐Coenzyme A acetyltransferase 1; Cyp51 = cytochrome P450, family 51; Dhcr24 = 24‐dehydrocholesterol reductase; Dhcr7 = 7‐dehydrocholesterol reductase; Ebp = phenylalkylamine Ca2+ antagonist (emopamil) binding protein; Fdft1 = farnesyl diphosphate farnesyl transferase 1; Fdps = farnesyl diphosphate synthetase; Ggps1 = geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase 1; Hmgcr = 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl‐Coenzyme A reductase; Hmgcs1 = 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl‐Coenzyme A synthase 1; Idi1 = isopentenyl‐diphosphate delta isomerase; Idi2 = isopentenyl‐diphosphate delta isomerase 2; Lss = lanosterol synthase; Mvd = mevalonate (diphospho) decarboxylase; Mvk = mevalonate kinase; Nsdhl = NAD(P)‐dependent steroid dehydrogenase‐like; Pmvk = phosphomevalonate kinase; Sc4mol = sterol‐C4‐methyl oxidase‐like; Sc5d = sterol‐C5‐desaturase (fungal ERG3, delta‐5‐desaturase) homolog (Saccharomyces cerevisiae); Sqle = squalene epoxidase; Tm7sf2 = transmembrane 7 superfamily member 2.

doi: 10.3109/01677063.2014.882918

Figure Lengend Snippet: Representative diagram of TGF-β and BMP signaling pathways. Both TGF-β and BMP7 activate SMAD4 and CREB-binding protein, a transcription co-activator of SMAD, leading to the transcription of target genes that influence extracellular matrix composition, apoptosis, and synaptic/cytoskeletal plasticity. BMPR1A = bone morphogenetic protein receptor type IA; CBP = CREB-binding protein; SARA (ZFYVE9) = zinc finger, FYVE domain containing 9; SMAD4 = mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 4. Genes up-regulated in schizophrenia are depicted by red arrows.

Article Snippet: Within the TGF-β superfamily, we found that the canonical BMP signaling pathway was significantly affected ( Ingenuity : p < 0.003; GeneGo : p < 0.005) ( a).
