Fig. 3: Identification of lithium-responsive genes associated with schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease.

Lithium-responsive astroglial genes were interrogated to identify novel associations within the disease specific databases for schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease. GO analysis representing the biological pathways statistically altered in schizophrenia (a) and Alzheimer’s disease (b). Protein–protein prediction analysis and NEST analysis identifies MMP9, LOX and TGFB1 at the core of the networks for schizophrenia (ai) and Alzherimer’s disease (bi). (PPI enrichment p < 1.0e−16)
