Abstract:Objective: To detect the expression of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in patients with schizophrenia, and to explore the correlation between their expression levels and clinical symptoms. Methods: Seventy schizophrenic patients from August 2018 to August 2020 were selected as the schizophrenia group, at the same time, 70 healthy people who had routine physical examination in the physical examination center of our hospital were selected as the control group. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the expression levels of NCAM, TrkB and BDNF in serum. The positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS) was used to evaluate the clinical symptoms. Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between serum NCAM, TrkB, BDNF expression levels and PANSS score; and Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the related factors of schizophrenia; receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of serum NCAM, TrkB and BDNF levels in patients with schizophrenia. Results: The serum levels of NCAM, TrkB and BDNF in schizophrenia group were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.05). The total score of PANSS was (78.67 ± 7.51), and the positive symptom score was (29.38 ± 4.25), and the negative symptom score was (26.72 ± 5.96), and the general pathological symptom score was (22.57 ± 6.20). Serum NCAM, TrkB and BDNF levels were negatively correlated with total score and positive symptom score of PANSS (P<0.05). The low expression of NCAM, TrkB and BDNF was an independent risk factor of schizophrenia (P<0.05). The AUC of serum NCAM, TrkB and BDNF in the diagnosis of schizophrenia was 0.863, 0.788 and 0.885 respectively, and the cut-off value was 47.773 μg/mL, 42.727 ng/mL and 29.487 pg/mL, respectively, the corresponding sensitivity was 67.1%, 65.7%, 84.3%, and the specificity was 87.1%, 78.6% and 74.3%, respectively. Conclusion: The expression levels of NCAM, TrkB and BDNF in the serum of schizophrenics are significantly reduced, and are negatively related to the severity of clinical symptoms, and may participate in the occurrence and development of schizophrenia.
