To date the results have been mixed, with early studies finding evidence for microglial activation and the majority of more recent studies refuting this. The discrepant findings may reflect differences in methodology, radiotracers, and aspects of the patient populations including severity and duration of illness. However, importantly, all of the schizophrenia patients in these previous PET studies were taking antipsychotic medication at the time of scanning, introducing a potential confound due to modulatory effects of antipsychotic medication on microglial activity. We have therefore compared TSPO availability between antipsychotic-free patients with schizophrenia, medicated patients, and matched healthy controls. Methods: we used [11C](R)-PK11195 PET to compare TSPO availability in a predominantly antipsychotic-naïve group of moderate-to-severely symptomatic unmedicated patients (n=8), similarly symptomatic medicated patients with schizophrenia taking risperidone or paliperidone by regular intramuscular injection (n=8), and healthy comparison subjects (n=16). Binding potential (BPND) was calculated using a grey matter cerebellum reference input function and the simplified reference tissue model. Results: we found no evidence for increased TSPO availability in antipsychotic- free patients compared to healthy controls (mean difference 4%, p=0.981). However, TSPO availability was significantly elevated in medicated patients (mean increase 88%, p=0.032) across dorsolateral prefrontal, ventrolateral prefrontal, orbitofrontal, anterior cingulate and parietal cortical regions. In the patients with schizophrenia, TSPO availability was also strongly correlated with negative symptoms measured using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale across all the brain regions investigated (r=0.651–0.741). Conclusions: we conclude that the pathophysiology of schizophrenia is not associated with microglial activation in the 2–6 year period following diagnosis, but that antipsychotic treatment with risperidone or paliperidone may induce microglial activation. It remains to be determined whether this activation represents a pro- or anti-inflammatory state, its association with primary negative symptoms and treatment resistance, and whether there are significant differences between antipsychotics. Implications for novel treatment strategies will be discussed. S02 EVIDENCE THAT PARVALBUMIN PATHOLOGY IN SCHIZOPHRENIA CAN BE RESCUED BY NOVEL DRUG TARGETS Harte MK, Manchester Pharmacy School, Univ of Manchester, Stopford Building, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL [email protected] Cognitive deficits remain an unmet clinical need in a number of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. With an improved understanding of the pathology related to these deficits comes the hope of novel treatment strategies. Current evidence from both clinical and preclinical studies suggests a strong involvement of GABAergic interneurons (particularly the parvalbumin (PV) subset) in regulating cognitive function in vivo. Alongside this are numerous reports of dysfunction of these GABAergic neurons in schizophrenia (Lewis et al., Trends Neurosci. 2012; 35(1): 57–67), with a number of relevant preclinical models recapitulating this deficit (e.g. sub-chronic phencyclidine model (Neill et al., 2010; 128(3):419–32)). This emerging understanding of the pathophysiology of schizophrenia offers us the potential to identify novel drug targets through which it may be possible to treat the underlying neural dysfunction and potentially alleviate the cognitive deficits. One such target is the Kv3.1 voltage-gated potassium channel. These channels are expressed on PV interneurons, where they confer the ability of the neurons to fire rapidly and accurately, allowing synchronisation of cortical circuits. A recent post- mortem study found reduction in Kv3.1 protein in un-medicated schizophrenia patients (Yanagi et al. Mol Psychiatry 2014; 19: 573–579). Modulation of this channel may therefore provide a novel target A2 ABSTRACTS for restoration of cognitive function in schizophrenia patients. The presentation will cover data from behavioural, immunohistochemical, electrophysiological and imaging studies in validated preclinical models aimed at investigating the efficacy of this approach for treating cognitive deficits in schizophrenia. Briefly, we demonstrate that treatment (acute and/or chronic) with: - AUT00206, a novel Kv3.1 modulator (Autifony Therapeutics Limited) significantly attenuated the sub-chronic phencyclidine (scPCP) induced social behaviour deficits. - AUT00206 significantly attenuated scPCP induced deficits in different cognitive domains. - AUT00206 significantly enhanced the power of fast network oscillations in the prelimbic cortex from scPCP treated rats. - AUT00206 significantly reversed the scPCP induced PV deficit, an effect dependent on the presence of AUT00206. - AUT00206 significantly reduced ketamine induced BOLD signal changes in cortical and subcortical regions of the rat brain Taken together these results suggest that the modulation of Kv3 channels on PV neurons by AUT00206 could be an important novel approach for improving cognitive deficits and function in schizophrenia patients.

S03 UTILITY OF COGNITIVE AND BOLD FMRI BIOMARKERS IN INDIVIDUALS WITH HIGH SCHIZOTYPY TO ASSESS NEW THERAPIES FOR SCHIZOPHRENIA Dourish CT, P1vital, Manor House, Howbery Park, Wallingford, Oxfordshire OX10 8BA [email protected] Schizophrenia is a debilitating, life-long, psychiatric disorder affecting approximately 1% of the world’s population. Antipsychotic drug therapies do not treat all the symptoms of the illness (including positive, negative and cognitive symptoms) and cause significant side-effects including dyskinesia, obesity and diabetes. Therefore, there is a significant unmet need to develop new treatments for schizophrenia that have improved efficacy and fewer side-effects. However, few new compounds have emerged and often promising pre-clinical data have not translated to efficacy in clinical trials. Use of experimental medicine efficacy biomarkers offers a potential way forward for antipsychotic drug development and this presentation reviews a series of recent schizophrenia efficacy biomarker validation studies. Two potential models were examined, an “intermediate phenotype” model and a drug challenge model. The intermediate

  • A Potential Approach for Treating Pain by Augmenting Glycine-Mediated Spinal Neurotransmission and Blunting Central Nociceptive Signaling
    biomolecules Review Inhibition of Glycine Re-Uptake: A Potential Approach for Treating Pain by Augmenting Glycine-Mediated Spinal Neurotransmission and Blunting Central Nociceptive Signaling Christopher L. Cioffi Departments of Basic and Clinical Sciences and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Albany, NY 12208, USA; christopher.cioffi@acphs.edu; Tel.: +1-518-694-7224 Abstract: Among the myriad of cellular and molecular processes identified as contributing to patho- logical pain, disinhibition of spinal cord nociceptive signaling to higher cortical centers plays a critical role. Importantly, evidence suggests that impaired glycinergic neurotransmission develops in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord in inflammatory and neuropathic pain models and is a key maladaptive mechanism causing mechanical hyperalgesia and allodynia. Thus, it has been hypothesized that pharmacological agents capable of augmenting glycinergic tone within the dorsal horn may be able to blunt or block aberrant nociceptor signaling to the brain and serve as a novel class of analgesics for various pathological pain states. Indeed, drugs that enhance dysfunctional glycinergic transmission, and in particular inhibitors of the glycine transporters (GlyT1 and GlyT2), are generating widespread + − interest as a potential class of novel analgesics. The GlyTs are Na /Cl -dependent transporters of the solute carrier 6 (SLC6) family and it has been proposed that the inhibition of them presents a Citation: Cioffi, C.L.

  • The Impact of D-Cycloserine and Sarcosine on in Vivo Frontal Neural
    Yao et al. BMC Psychiatry (2019) 19:314 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12888-019-2306-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The impact of D-cycloserine and sarcosine on in vivo frontal neural activity in a schizophrenia-like model Lulu Yao1, Zongliang Wang1, Di Deng1, Rongzhen Yan1, Jun Ju1 and Qiang Zhou1,2* Abstract Background: N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) hypofunction has been proposed to underlie the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. Specifically, reduced function of NMDARs leads to altered balance between excitation and inhibition which further drives neural network malfunctions. Clinical studies suggested that NMDAR modulators (glycine, D-serine, D-cycloserine and glycine transporter inhibitors) may be beneficial in treating schizophrenia patients. Preclinical evidence also suggested that these NMDAR modulators may enhance synaptic NMDAR function and synaptic plasticity in brain slices. However, an important issue that has not been addressed is whether these NMDAR modulators modulate neural activity/spiking in vivo. Methods: By using in vivo calcium imaging and single unit recording, we tested the effect of D-cycloserine, sarcosine (glycine transporter 1 inhibitor) and glycine, on schizophrenia-like model mice. Results: In vivo neural activity is significantly higher in the schizophrenia-like model mice, compared to control mice. D-cycloserine and sarcosine showed no significant effect on neural activity in the schizophrenia-like model mice. Glycine induced a large reduction in movement in home cage and reduced in vivo brain activity in control mice which prevented further analysis of its effect in schizophrenia-like model mice. Conclusions: We conclude that there is no significant impact of the tested NMDAR modulators on neural spiking in the schizophrenia-like model mice.

  • The Irish Catholic Episcopal Corps, 1657 – 1829: a Prosopographical Analysis
    THE IRISH CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CORPS, 1657 – 1829: A PROSOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS VOLUME 1 OF 2 BY ERIC A. DERR THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: DR. THOMAS O’CONNOR NOVEMBER 2013 Abstract This study explores, reconstructs and evaluates the social, political, educational and economic worlds of the Irish Catholic episcopal corps appointed between 1657 and 1829 by creating a prosopographical profile of this episcopal cohort. The central aim of this study is to reconstruct the profile of this episcopate to serve as a context to evaluate the ‘achievements’ of the four episcopal generations that emerged: 1657-1684; 1685- 1766; 1767-1800 and 1801-1829. The first generation of Irish bishops were largely influenced by the complex political and religious situation of Ireland following the Cromwellian wars and Interregnum. This episcopal cohort sought greater engagement with the restored Stuart Court while at the same time solidified their links with continental agencies. With the accession of James II (1685), a new generation of bishops emerged characterised by their loyalty to the Stuart Court and, following his exile and the enactment of new penal legislation, their ability to endure political and economic marginalisation. Through the creation of a prosopographical database, this study has nuanced and reconstructed the historical profile of the Jacobite episcopal corps and has shown that the Irish episcopate under the penal regime was not only relatively well-organised but was well-engaged in reforming the Irish church, albeit with limited resources. By the mid-eighteenth century, the post-Jacobite generation (1767-1800) emerged and were characterised by their re-organisation of the Irish Church, most notably the establishment of a domestic seminary system and the setting up and manning of a national parochial system.
