Mecanismos moleculares da esquizofrenia
Conteúdo do artigo principal
Resumo
A etiologia da esquizofrenia não está totalmente elucidada. Mais de 100 diferentes loci de genes relacionados à esquizofrenia são conhecidos, a maioria dos quais codifica moléculas associadas a sistemas de neurotransmissores ou neurodesenvolvimento. O primeiro inclui receptores para neurotransmissores como dopamina, GABA ou glutamato e outros neurotransmissores menos relacionados, como serotonina e acetilcolina. Também estão envolvidas várias enzimas relacionadas com o metabolismo, cotransportadores e algumas proteínas intracelulares envolvidas na degradação ou síntese dos referidos neurotransmissores. Entre as moléculas envolvidas no neurodesenvolvimento estão os fatores neurotróficos (BDNF, DISC1, NRG1) e as proteínas do complemento C3 e C4, que medeiam a resposta inflamatória e a poda sináptica durante o desenvolvimento inicial. Os produtos da produção genética envolvidos na etiologia da esquizofrenia contribuem para a vulnerabilidade seletiva ou para o processo de lesão que se instala ou progride no paciente, portanto, seu estudo é relevante para a compreensão dos fenômenos clínicos da esquizofrenia.
