PRKCB methylation: a potential biomarker of MDD with childhood chronic stress, a cross-sectional study in drug-naive, first-episode adolescent MDD

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between childhood chronic stress(CCS), Protein kinase C beta (PRKCB) methylation and adolescent major depressive disorder (MDD). After recruiting 100 adolescents with MDD and 50 healthy controls (HCs), we evaluated the severity of CCS. PR...

description The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between childhood chronic stress(CCS), Protein kinase C beta (PRKCB) methylation and adolescent major depressive disorder (MDD). After recruiting 100 adolescents with MDD and 50 healthy controls (HCs), we evaluated the severity of CCS. PRKCB methylation was assessed by pyrosequencing using whole blood-derived DNA. To explore the relationship between CCS, PRKCB and adolescent MDD, we conducted correlation analysis and regression analysis, and constructed multiplicative interaction models and generalized linear models. PRKCB methylation and CCS were both found to be associated with MDD, and CCS was associated with PRKCB methylation. No significant CCS-PRKCB methylation interactions were observed. However, we found the interaction of CCS and MDD on PRKCB methylation. Our results found that PRKCB methylation was influenced by CCS and the disease itself, and PRKCB methylation was significantly positively associated with MDD severity, suggesting that PRKCB methylation may be a potential biomarker for adolescent MDD. This study is a cross-sectional observational study, which cannot draw the conclusion of causality. Prospective cohort studies are needed to further examine the relationship between CCS, adolescent MDD, and PRKCB methylation.
