Description

Molecular marker for diagnosing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder syndrome
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedical engineering, and relates to a diagnostic molecular marker for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Background
The prior art discloses that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common mental and neurological diseases in children and adolescents,
experts at home and abroad consider attention deficit hyperactivity disorder as a developmental disorder. ADHD is characterized clinically by inattention, hyperactivity, or impaired continence. Studies have shown that ADHD has three subtypes, including the attention deficit subtype, the impulse hyperactivity subtype and the mixed subtype. Compared with healthy children, the cognitive function, learning ability and future occupational ability of the children with hyperactivity are often poor, control over self emotion of the children and certain obstruction on social contact of the children are not facilitated, even the incidence rate of safety accidents, accidental injuries and drug abuse is increased, and certain economic and psychological burdens can be caused for families. Currently, the prevalence of ADHD in children and adolescents worldwide is estimated to be about 3.4%, with boys having a significantly higher prevalence of ADHD than girls, with a male to female ratio of about 3: 1-10: 1. The prevalence of ADHD in children and adolescents in our country is about 5.7%, about 80% of ADHD children will continue to the adolescent stage, 40% of children will continue to adults, 30% of children will continue to be lifelong, and some patients will be accompanied by other mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, autism, and the like; it is believed that infants with persistent ADHD symptoms need to be diagnosed and intervened as early as possible. The current Diagnostic standard for ADHD relies mainly on The "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" 5 th edition (DSM-5) set by The American society of psychiatry of agriculture, APA as a Diagnostic standard, and The core symptoms and features of ADHD in The DSM-5 standard mainly include The following: (1) symptom severity, symptom duration, and patient age and development level (i.e., age before 12 years, symptom duration >6 months) (2) symptoms are associated with impaired learning performance, peer-to-peer and family relationships, and adaptability, and frequently occur to have an impact on living ability; (3) type of ADHD Performance according to DSM-5: attention defect type (attention defect symptom accords with diagnosis standard), multi-impulse type (multi-impulse symptom accords with diagnosis standard), mixed type (attention defect symptom and multi-impulse symptom accord with diagnosis standard); because the diagnosis of ADHD mainly adopts a form of a scale to perform questionnaire survey, the diagnosis is easily influenced by dual subjective factors of an interviewer (medical staff) and an interviewee (generally, family members of children patients), and a certain proportion of over-diagnosis phenomenon can occur; the questionnaire survey steps are more, the time spent is longer, medical staff may miss some scale problems in use, and the obtained questionnaire result is influenced by factors such as the growth environment and culture level of the interviewee, so that the diagnosis result has certain bias. Currently there is a clinical lack of molecular markers associated with ADHD diagnosis, and researchers in the industry are concerned with ADHD-associated marker molecules that will provide clinical reference values for the clinical diagnosis of ADHD.
Micrornas (mirnas) are known to be highly conserved, small non-coding RNAs of typically 18-25 nucleotides in length, which cause termination of transmission of genetic information or genetic variation by targeting a 3 'untranslated region (3' UTR) that recognizes the target messenger RNA (mRNA) to degrade the mRNA or inhibit expression of translation. miRNA participates in a wide range of biological processes and plays a role in growth, development, aging and apoptosis. MicroRNA exists in tissue cells and body fluid, and is researched to detect microRNA in various body fluids, including plasma, serum, saliva, cerebrospinal fluid and the like, can stably exist in various body fluids, is not easy to degrade, and has remarkable differential expression in diseases and normal physiological states. Research shows that the nerve development process is precisely regulated and controlled by various factors in a specific time and space sequence, and if the regulating and controlling factors are abnormal, neuropsychiatric disorder may occur. miRNA is used as a gene post-transcriptional regulatory factor and is proved to be involved in development and regulation of a nervous system, abnormal expression of microRNA is possibly related to certain nervous system diseases, compared with healthy people, miR-124 is highly expressed in forehead and hippocampus of the brain of a depression patient, and miR-7 is remarkably reduced in brain areas of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients and Parkinson's disease animal models.
It is reported that the study of using the cDNA chip, protein chip and human miRNA chip of ADHD animal model SHR and control group WKY rat to find the genes related to ADHD has been greatly improved. In the early stage experiment of the application, animal model research, cell experiments and clinical samples prove that the ADHD rat model SHR and the normal control model WKY forehead region of brain have the differential expression of Galectin-3 and miRNA-let-7d, and miRNA-let-7d directly acts on the 3 'untranslated region (3' UTR) of Galectin-3 (Galectin-3) to negatively regulate expression of Galectin-3, meanwhile, the decrease of galectin-3 may inhibit the expression of Tyrosine hydroxylase by inhibiting the interaction of cAMP response element binding protein and Tyrosine Hydroxylase (TH) gene, the tyrosine hydroxylase is a key enzyme in the dopamine metabolic process, the reduction of the tyrosine hydroxylase can reduce the synthesis of dopamine in the central nervous system, and researches prove that the tyrosine hydroxylase expression is reduced in the prefrontal cortex area of the brain of an SHR rat. But at present, no efficient early diagnosis index exists.
Based on the current state and the basis of the prior art, the inventors of the present application intend to provide a diagnostic molecular marker of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder syndrome (ADHD). The diagnostic molecular marker can provide a high-efficiency early diagnosis index for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Establishing an analysis model:
summarizing data sets of a screening group (ADHD, n is 40; healthy children, n is 120) and a practice group (ADHD, n is 80; healthy children, n is 80), establishing a stepwise Logistic regression model (Logistic regression model) for estimating the probability that children are likely to be diagnosed as ADHD, firstly carrying out Logistic regression analysis on 5 screened miRNAs, analyzing the sensitivity and specificity by ROC (figure 10A), wherein the AUC of miR-4466 is observed to be high-expressed in serum compared with the healthy children group, the AUC of MiR-4466 is 0.756 (95% CI, 0.696-0.809), miR-4516, miR-6090, miR-4763-3p and miR-4281 is 0.879 (95% CI, 0.831-0.918), 0.580 (95% CI, 0.705), 0.824-0.705 (0.824), 0.714-0.95% CI, 0.797-0.714 and 0.714), the effect of auxiliary diagnosis of ADHD by using single differential microRNA from ADHD children serum is not obvious, and then 5 microRNA data obtained by screening are integrated and gathered to establish a logic model for diagnosing ADHD, wherein the logic (P ═ ADHD) ═ 0.303 ═ miR-4466-1.216 ═ miR-4516-0.225 ═ miR-6090-0.320 ═ miR-4763-0.465 ═ miR-4281-7.559[ logic P ═ ln P/(1-P) ], and then the diagnostic performance of the model is evaluated by using ROC analysis, as shown in fig. 10B: the AUC of the microRNA group was 0.940 (95% CI, 0.901 to 0.966, sensitivity 86.67%, specificity 90.00%, P <0.0001), and to test whether the model was specific for diagnosing ADHD, data from children with pneumonia and vitamin D deficiency were entered into the model, respectively, as shown in fig. 10C, the AUC of the pneumonia group was 0.603 (95% CI, 0.520 to 0.682), and the AUC of the vitamin D deficient group was 0.566 (95% CI, 0.482 to 0.646), indicating that neither sensitivity nor specificity was evident in the pediatric diagnosis of pneumonia and vitamin D deficiency for this group of micrornas.
Verification of the analytical model: to verify the reliability of the above-established model formula parameters, the logical model was tested by collecting again an independent verification group (ADHD n: 132, healthy child n: 230) consisting of 362 serum samples; similarly, relative expression levels of miR-4466, miR-4516, miR-6090, miR-4763-3P and miR-4281 were measured by qPCR from children in the validation cohort, and the expression trend of circulating miR-4466 in ADHD children serum was found to be consistent with that of screening cohort and exercise cohort ADHD children, being significantly elevated in ADHD subjects, but decreased in miR-4516, miR-6090, miR-4763-3P and miR-4281 (fig. 10A), all results were in line with entering the model, and further demonstrated by ROC curves that AUC was 0.927 (95% CI, 0.889 to 0.956, sensitivity 83.33%, specificity 86.36%, P <0.0001, fig. 10B), further investigating whether the model was effective in diagnosing all three subtypes of ADHD, total collection of 252 cases of ADHD children serum samples, these included 99 children of ADHD-AI, 38 children of ADHD-HI and 115 children of ADHD-C, each group of data was entered into a model and ROC analysis was performed, and the results showed that the AUC of ADHD-AI was 0.915 (95% CI, 0.867 to 0.950, sensitivity 84.00%, specificity 86.90%, P <0.0001, fig. 10C) and ADHD-HI 0.847 (95% CI, 0.764 to 0.919, sensitivity 76.32%, specificity 81.58%, P <0.0001), and the AUC of ADHD-C was 0.949 (95% CI, 0.917 to 0.973, sensitivity 96.52%, specificity 78.26%, P <0.0001, indicating that the model is not restricted to a certain subtype d, and that the diagnostic performance of the miRNA profile is effective.
Use of the model in follow-up children:
three months follow-up children: further validation of miRNA panel and diagnostic mode for the course of treatment of ADHD children; of the 742 children in this study, 37 children with ADHD had a 3-month follow-up. Treatment of children with ADHD was for 10 weeks, the first 6 weeks, an initial methylphenidate (ritalin) dose of 0.3mg/kg/d, an increase of 0.3mg/kg/d weekly, a target dose of 1.2mg/kg/d (excluding significant side effects or space for no further improvement), and an increase to a maximum of 1.8mg/kg/d depending on the actual clinical response dose. Maintaining the optimal dosage during the 7 th to 10 th periods; to assess the efficacy of treatment, at week 12, the test children were again scored on the SNAP scale and the results showed that the scores decreased compared to the first visit indicating effective treatment (figure 12A), and that the expression of miR-4516, miR-6090, miR-4763-3p and miR-4281 increased in the follow-up samples compared to the first visit, while the trend of miR-4466 reversed (figure 10B), indicating that the patient's serum microRNA expression levels gradually became normal with treatment; ROC curve analysis was performed in 37 patients by substituting the first visit children's miRNA panel data into the model with AUC of 0.813 (95% CI, 0.764 to 0.919, sensitivity 81.08%, specificity 70.27%), followed by a visit children (3 months) with AUC of 0.714 (95% CI, 0.598 to 0.813, sensitivity 54.05%, specificity 86.49%), with statistical differences between the two sets of ROC curves (P0.017, fig. 12G);
follow-up children for six months: of 37 children with follow-up 3-month record of ADHD, 9 patients were recorded by 6-month follow-up, and as shown in FIG. 13A, miR-4466 was gradually reduced in ADHD children serum with the increase of treatment time, tending to the expression of miR-4466 in healthy children serum; the expression trends of miR-4516, miR-6090, miR-4763-3P and miR-4281 are gradually increased, as shown in FIGS. 13B-E, compared with ADHD children and healthy children who visit for 6 months, P is greater than 0.05, the difference is not statistically significant, and the difference indicates that the differential microRNA expression level tends to be normal after the ADHD children are treated; the first visit data of 9 ADHD children, the three-month follow-up data, the six-month follow-up data and healthy children group data serving as a control are brought into a model, and through ROC curve analysis, the statistical difference (P is 0.037) exists between the AUC (0.852, 95% CI, 0.608-0.972) of the first-visit ADHD children and the AUC (0.617, 95% CI, 0.363-0.832) of 3-month follow-up; however, the AUC (0.617, 95% CI, 0.363 to 0.832) for the 3-month followed patients compared to the AUC (0.543, 95% CI, 0.297 to 0.775) for the 6-month follow-up, the results showed no statistical difference (P ═ 0.797).
Experiments prove that a group of miRNAs with expression differences in ADHD child serum samples are provided and verified, namely compared with a healthy child group, miR-4466 is increased in ADHD child serum, and miR-4516, miR-6090, miR-3960 and miR-4281 are decreased in ADHD child serum; after three months of routine treatment, compared with the first-diagnosis infant patients, the miR-4466 expression level in the serum sample of the follow-up children is reduced,
the expression level of miR-4516, miR-6090, miR-4763-3p and miR-4281 is increased;
after ADHD is treated, the miRNA expression level with differential expression in the blood serum of ADHD children gradually approaches that of healthy children along with the improvement of symptoms. The Logistic regression analysis model established on the basis of the group of miRNAs can be used as a molecular diagnostic marker of ADHD and for predicting the occurrence probability of ADHD, and has a certain clinical reference value in the aspect of diagnosing ADHD.
