Variations in FKBP5 and BDNF genes are suggestively associated with depression in a Swedish population-based cohort

TL;DR: Data from a large well-characterized longitudinal population-based sample of adult Swedes with data on life situation and life history support previous reports on FKBP5:rs1360780 and show a gender difference and show involvement of environmental stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antidepressant treatment is associated with epigenetic alterations in the promoter of P11 in a genetic model of depression.

TL;DR: In this paper, the prefrontal cortex of the Flinders Sensitive Line (FSL) genetic rodent model of depression was found to be hypermethylated after chronic administration of escitalopram (a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor; SSRI).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for a negative association between high genetic loading for SCZ and poor response to lithium in patients with BPAD, suggesting the potential for translational research aimed at personalized prescribing of lithium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antidepressant-Like Effect of Sodium Butyrate is Associated with an Increase in TET1 and in 5-Hydroxymethylation Levels in the Bdnf Gene

TL;DR: The data support the antidepressant efficacy of HDACis and suggest that their epigenetic effects may also include DNA methylation changes that are mediated by demethylation-facilitating enzymes like TET1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kv1.1 channels act as mechanical brake in the senses of touch and pain.

TL;DR: A mechanosensitive (MS) K(+) current (IKmech) that governs mechanical threshold and adaptation of distinct populations of mechanoreceptors is identified and Mechanosensitivity is attributed to Kv1.1 subunits, through facilitation of voltage-dependent open probability.
