Foxa1 Expression

Here, we study the expression of NURR1 and FOXA1 mRNA in peripheral blood lymphocytes and its haplotypes in coding region in a small Chennai population of India. Thirty cases of Parkinson’s patients (PD) with anti-PD medications (20 males aged65.85±1.19and 10 females aged65.7±1.202) and 30 age matched healthy people (20 males aged68.45±1.282and 10 females aged65.8±1.133) were included. The expression of NURR1 and FOXA1 in PBL was detected by Q-PCR and haplotypes were identified by PCR-SSCP. In the 30 PD cases examined, NURR1 and FOXA1 expression was significantly reduced in both male and female PD patients. However, NURR1 (57.631% reduced in males; 28.93% in females) and FOXA1 (64.42% in males; 55.76% in females) mRNA expression did differ greatly between male and female PD patients. Polymorphisms were identified at exon 4 of the NURR1 and at exon 3 of the FOXA1, respectively, in both male and female patients. A near significant difference in SSCP patterns between genders of control and PD population was analyzed suggesting that further investigations of more patients, more molecular markers, and coding regions should be performed. Such studies could potentially reveal peripheral molecular marker of early PD and different significance to the respective genders.

Introduction: Opioid and amphetamine type stimulant (ATS) exert their rewarding effects by stimulating the dopaminergic system in the mesolimbic area. It has been suggested that dopamine system in peripheral blood lymphocytes reflect the central dopamine system’s activity and pathology, especially in neuropsychiatric diseases including drug addiction. The present study aimed to assess the effect of co-occurring opioid and ATS (COATS) addiction towards mRNA expression of dopamine receptors DRD4 and DRD5 in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) of drug dependent subjects (n=36) undergoing methadone maintenance therapy in comparison to control subjects (n=36). Materials and methods: Ten mL blood were obtained from the subjects followed by lymphocyte isolation, RNA extraction and reverse transcription. DRD4 and DRD5 mRNA expression in peripheral lymphocytes was assessed using real-time PCR. The DRD4 mRNA expression but not DRD5 was significantly reduced in the peripheral lymphocytes of COATS subjects. Results: Mean expression value for DRD4 was 14.0+0.24 among patients and 13.3+0.25 among control subjects. For DRD5 it was 12.87 + 0.75 among patients and 12.59 + 1.24 among controls. Conclusion: Inconclusion, co-occurring opioid and ATS addiction was associated with persistent deficiency of DRD4 but not DRD5 in PBLs. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.20(3) 2021 p.563-568
