The role of MMP genes in recurrent depressive disorders and cognitive functions

Abstract: The results of our study show decreased expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and TIMP-2 genes on both mRNA and protein levels in depression. Elevated expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-2 positively affects cognitive efficiency: working memory, executive functions, attention functions, direct and delayed auditory-verbal memory, the effectiveness of learning processes and verbal fluency. The study highlights the important role of peripheral matrix metalloproteinases genes in depression and cognitive functions.

“…To our knowledge, this is the first study to systematically investigate the roles of peripheral gene expression for indicators of inflammation and ox-idative balance in personality traits predisposing to a depressive episode. In our previous papers we referred to oxidative and antioxidative imbalances and immune system disorders in patients with symptoms of depression and among healthy people: MnSOD [24], MPO [25], COX-2 [26], iNOS [27], MMP-2 and MMP-9 [28]. At this point, we would like to summarise the correlations related to the functioning of the immune and emotional systems.…”

“…Regarding protein biomarker candidates, we identified 37 plasma proteins significantly associated with MDD by the LMM analysis, and these protein biomarkers could be biologically or physiologically divided into four functional categories through the literature search on PubTabor central [40]. First, six plasma markers, GC, LCN2, ITIH3, VWF, PHOX2B and YWHAE, were previously reported to be associated with SSRI efficacy, with the abundances of GC, LCN2, and ITIH3 in plasma samples associated with response to SSRIs [21,[53][54][55]. Among them, PHOX2B and YWHAE were validated by LC-MRM/MS analysis in this study.…”

“…We found that the levels of abundance of two of these proteins, APOE and CSTD, with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) differed significantly in responders and non-responders [75][76][77][78]. The expression of the MMP2 gene in the brain was associated with recurrence of depression [55].…”

“…While there is little known about the direct role of Timp2 in learning and memory, the extracellular matrix maintains direct contact with synapses and is known to influence dendritic spine stability and synapse structure [38]. In addition, it is reduced in patients with recurrent depressive symptoms [39]. The potential connection to depressive symptoms is interesting given the downregulation observed in our PTSD-like phenotype (SS mice) and the high comorbidity between PTSD and major depressive disorder in patients [40].…”
