BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Invicro LLC, a Konica Minolta company announces that the paper Synaptic Density Marker SV2A is Reduced in Schizophrenia Patients and Unaffected by Antipsychotics in Rats1 has been published in Nature Communications. Invicro is a global provider of imaging biomarkers, core lab services, advanced analytics and software solutions for drug discovery and development.
Invicro London scientists, Doctors Lisa Wells, Eugenii (Ilan) Rabiner, and Roger Gunn, are co-authors of this pioneering study that investigates synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A) levels and their relationship to symptoms and structural brain measures in patients with schizophrenia using positron emission tomography (PET). The key findings indicated lower synaptic terminal protein levels in schizophrenia in vivo and that antipsychotic drug exposure is unlikely to account for them.
This pioneering work utilizes novel developments in the imaging of the human brain to evaluate in the living brain previous post-mortem findings, commented Dr. Eugenii (Ilan) Rabiner, EVP of Translational Applications for Invicro and Reader in Molecular Neuroimaging at Kings College, London.
Schizophrenia is a chronic disease that can be conceptualized as a combination of genetics, environment, and cognitive disorders. Changes in brain anatomy, including loss of synapses, has been hypothesized to play an important role in schizophrenia. This publication is the first to examine synaptic density in schizophrenia, in the living human brain. The authors used a novel PET imaging biomarker ([11C]UCB-J) and positron emission tomography (PET) to demonstrate lower levels of synaptic density in the frontal and anterior cingulate cortices of schizophrenics.
It was a pleasure to collaborate with Dr. Ellis Onwordi and Prof. Oliver Howes on this pioneering research in Schizophrenia, stated Dr. Roger Gunn, EVP of Quantitative Data Sciences for Invicro and Professor of Molecular Neuro Imaging at Imperial College London. This forms part of a wider Invicro program of work in synaptic imaging which has recently been enhanced by the development of [18F]MNI-1126 enabling multi-center imaging trials of synaptic dysfunction in neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders.
Nature Communications is a multidisciplinary scientific journal published by Nature Research, that is dedicated to high-quality research in all areas of the biological, physical and earth sciences. The journal seeks to publish the most significant advances in science expressed in landmark papers. Nature Communications published Synaptic Density Marker SV2A is Reduced in Schizophrenia Patients and Unaffected by Antipsychotics in Rats on 14 January 2020.
The ability to detect these changes in the living brain is crucial to aiding our understanding of disease progression, taking the knowledge derived from post-mortem tissue samples and translating this to the clinic, said Dr. Lisa Wells, Head of Discovery CNS Applications for Invicro.
