Sex difference in cognitive impairment in drug-free schizophrenia: Association with miR-195 levels.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:There is evidence that microRNA-195 (miR-195) is associated with schizophrenia (SZ) and cognition, but the relationship between miR-195 and cognitive impairment in SZ is still unknown. Sex differences in both microRNA (miRNA) expression and cognition were found in SZ. We aim to investigate whether sex moderates the relationship between miR-195 levels and cognition in SZ. METHODS:We recruited 121 drug-free SZ patients and 129 healthy controls. miR-195 expression levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were measured using qRT-PCR. The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) was performed to assess cognitive function. MANCOVA, ANCOVA, correlation analysis and hierarchical linear regression analysis were used to test the effect of sex on the aforementioned variables. RESULTS:All RBANS scores significantly decreased in patients compared to healthy controls (all p < 0.001); ANCOVA analysis demonstrated female SZ patients had lower delayed memory score (F = 15.36, p < 0.001) and total score (F = 5.26, p = 0.024) than male patients. There was no diagnosis, sex or sex by diagnosis interaction effect on miR-195 levels (all p > 0.05). Interestingly, correlation analysis showed significant negative association between miR-195 and attention score (r = -0.389, p = 0.019), delayed memory score (r= -0.351, p = 0.036), and total score (r = -0.386, p = 0.020) only in female patients. Hierarchical regression analysis showed sex by miR-195 interaction was a significant predictor of the RBANS total score (ΔR2 = 0.042, F(1, 67) = 4.71, p = 0.033). CONCLUSION:Our data indicate that miR-195 is associated with cognitive impairment in female SZ patients, and it may be involved in the underlying mechanism of sex differences in cognitive impairment in SZ.
