abstract = {BackgroundMiR-137 is a microRNA involved in brain
development, regulating neurogenesis and neuronal
maturation. Genome-Wide Association Studies implicate
miR-137 in schizophrenia risk but do not explain its
involvement in brain function and underlying biology.
Polygenic risk for schizophrenia mediated by miR-137 targets
is associated with working memory, although other evidence
points to emotion processing. We characterized the
functional brain correlates of miR-137 target genes
associated with schizophrenia while disentangling previously
reported associations of miR-137 targets with working memory
and emotion processing.MethodsUsing RNA-sequencing data from
postmortem prefrontal cortex (N=522), we identified a
co-expression gene set enriched for miR-137 targets and
schizophrenia risk genes. We validated the relationship of
this set to miR-137 in-vitro by manipulating miR-137
expression in neuroblastoma cells. We translated this gene
set into polygenic scores of co-expression prediction and
associated them with fMRI activation in healthy volunteers
(N1=214; N2=136; N3=2,075; N4=1,800) and with short-term
treatment response in patients with schizophrenia
(N=427).ResultsIn 4,652 human subjects, we found that (i)
schizophrenia risk genes are co-expressed in a biologically
validated set enriched for miR-137 targets, (ii) increased
expression of miR-137 target risk genes is mediated by low
prefrontal miR-137 expression, (iii) alleles predicting
greater gene-set co-expression are associated with greater
prefrontal activation during emotion processing in three
independent healthy cohorts (N1-2-3), in interaction with
age (N4), (iv) these alleles predict less improvement in
negative symptoms following antipsychotic treatment in
patients with schizophrenia.},
