Abstract
Olanzapine is a second-generation antipsychotic that disrupts metabolism and is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. The hypothalamus is a key region in the control of whole-body metabolic homeostasis. The objective of the current study was to determine how acute peripheral olanzapine administration affects transcription and serine/threonine kinase activity in the hypothalamus. Hypothalamus samples from rats were collected following the pancreatic euglycemic clamp, thereby allowing us to study endpoints under steady state conditions for plasma glucose and insulin. Olanzapine stimulated pathways associated with inflammation, but diminished pathways associated with the capacity to combat endoplasmic reticulum stress and G protein-coupled receptor activity. These pathways represent potential targets to reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes in patients taking antipsychotics.

Abstract
Antipsychotic (AP)-naive first-episode psychosis (FEP) patients display early dysglycemia, including insulin resistance and prediabetes. Metabolic dysregulation may therefore be intrinsic to psychosis spectrum disorders (PSDs), independent of the metabolic effects of APs. However, the potential biological pathways that overlap between PSDs and dysglycemic states remain to be identified. Using meta-analytic approaches of transcriptomic datasets, we investigated whether AP-naive FEP patients share overlapping gene expression signatures with non-psychiatrically ill early dysglycemia individuals. We meta-analyzed peripheral transcriptomic datasets of AP-naive FEP patients and non-psychiatrically ill early dysglycemia subjects to identify common gene expression signatures. Common signatures underwent pathway enrichment analysis and were then used to identify potential new pharmacological compounds via Integrative Library of Integrated Network-Based Cellular Signatures (iLINCS). Our search results yielded 5 AP-naive FEP studies and 4 early dysglycemia studies which met inclusion criteria. We discovered that AP-naive FEP and non-psychiatrically ill subjects exhibiting early dysglycemia shared 221 common signatures, which were enriched for pathways related to endoplasmic reticulum stress and abnormal brain energetics. Nine FDA-approved drugs were identified as potential drug treatments, of which the antidiabetic metformin, the first-line treatment for type 2 diabetes, has evidence to attenuate metabolic dysfunction in PSDs. Taken together, our findings support shared gene expression changes and biological pathways associating PSDs with dysglycemic disorders. These data suggest that the pathobiology of PSDs overlaps and potentially contributes to dysglycemia. Finally, we find that metformin may be a potential treatment for early metabolic dysfunction intrinsic to PSDs.

Abstract
Antipsychotic drug (AP)-naïve first-episode psychosis (FEP) patients display premorbid cognitive dysfunctions and dysglycemia. Brain insulin resistance may link metabolic and cognitive disorders in humans. This suggests that central insulin dysregulation represents a component of the pathophysiology of psychosis spectrum disorders (PSDs). Nonetheless, the links between central insulin dysregulation, dysglycemia, and cognitive deficits in PSDs are poorly understood. We investigated whether AP-naïve FEP patients share overlapping brain gene expression signatures with central insulin perturbation (CIP) in rodent models. We systematically compiled and meta-analyzed peripheral transcriptomic datasets of AP-naïve FEP patients along with hypothalamic and hippocampal datasets of CIP rodent models to identify common transcriptomic signatures. The common signatures were used for pathway analysis and to identify potential drug treatments with discordant (reverse) signatures. AP-naïve FEP and CIP (hypothalamus and hippocampus) shared 111 and 346 common signatures respectively, which were associated with pathways related to inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and neuroplasticity. Twenty-two potential drug treatments were identified, including antidiabetic agents. The pathobiology of PSDs may include central insulin dysregulation, which contribute to dysglycemia and cognitive dysfunction independently of AP treatment. The identified treatments may be tested in early psychosis patients to determine if dysglycemia and cognitive deficits can be mitigated.

Abstract
Prescription rates of second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) are rapidly increasing for non-indicated (i.e., off-label) usage. SGAs used for approved indications are associated with significant metabolic adverse effects, including weight gain. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the metabolic adverse effects of SGA use for off-label management of psychiatric illnesses in the adult population. We performed a systematic database search to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that reported on weight and other metabolic outcomes with off-label use of SGAs among adults. Thirty-eight RCTs met inclusion criteria for this review; 35 of these studies, with a total of 4930 patients, were included in the quantitative meta-analysis. Patients treated with olanzapine, risperidone, and quetiapine were more likely to report weight gain as a side effect and experience clinically significant (≥7%) weight gain compared to those treated with a placebo. Among studies that reported weight as a continuous outcome, olanzapine was associated with significantly greater weight gain across all disorders (mean difference (MD) = 3.24 kg, 95% CI: 2.57-3.90 p = 0.001, N = 12 studies). Similar trends were noted with quetiapine and risperidone. A meta-regression analysis revealed a positive dose-response association between olanzapine dose and weight gain (regression coefficient: 0.36, p = 0.001). This review demonstrates that off-label use of SGAs, and particularly olanzapine, is associated with significant weight gain among adult patients. Our findings are concerning given the widespread off-label use of SGAs. Further studies are required to better understand the effects of off-label SGA use on other metabolic parameters. The study was registered with the PROSPERO international database of prospectively registered systematic reviews (PROSPERO #143186).

Abstract
While the pathophysiology of schizophrenia has been extensively investigated using homogenized postmortem brain samples, few studies have examined changes in brain samples with techniques that may attribute perturbations to specific cell types. To fill this gap, we performed microarray assays on mRNA isolated from anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) superficial and deep pyramidal neurons from 12 schizophrenia and 12 control subjects using laser-capture microdissection. Among all the annotated genes, we identified 134 significantly increased and 130 decreased genes in superficial pyramidal neurons, while 93 significantly increased and 101 decreased genes were found in deep pyramidal neurons, in schizophrenia compared to control subjects. In these differentially expressed genes, we detected lamina-specific changes of 55 and 31 genes in superficial and deep neurons in schizophrenia, respectively. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was applied to the entire pre-ranked differential expression gene lists to gain a complete pathway analysis throughout all annotated genes. Our analysis revealed overrepresented groups of gene sets in schizophrenia, particularly in immunity and synapse-related pathways, suggesting the disruption of these pathways plays an important role in schizophrenia. We also detected other pathways previously demonstrated in schizophrenia pathophysiology, including cytokine and chemotaxis, postsynaptic signaling, and glutamatergic synapses. In addition, we observed several novel pathways, including ubiquitin-independent protein catabolic process. Considering the effects of antipsychotic treatment on gene expression, we applied a novel bioinformatics approach to compare our differential expression gene profiles with 51 antipsychotic treatment datasets, demonstrating that our results were not influenced by antipsychotic treatment. Taken together, we found pyramidal neuron-specific changes in neuronal immunity, synaptic dysfunction, and olfactory dysregulation in schizophrenia, providing new insights for the cell-subtype specific pathophysiology of chronic schizophrenia.

Abstract
Schizophrenia is a debilitating psychiatric illness that remains poorly understood. While the bulk of symptomatology has classically been associated with disrupted brain functioning, accumulating evidence demonstrates that schizophrenia is characterized by systemic inflammation and disturbances in metabolism. Indeed, metabolic disease is a major determinant of the high mortality rate associated with schizophrenia. Antipsychotic drugs (APDs) have revolutionized management of psychosis, making it possible to rapidly control psychotic symptoms. This has ultimately reduced relapse rates of psychotic episodes and improved overall quality of life for people with schizophrenia. However, long-term APD use has also been associated with significant metabolic disturbances including weight gain, dysglycemia, and worsening of the underlying cardiometabolic disease intrinsic to schizophrenia. While the mechanisms for these intrinsic and medication-induced metabolic effects remain unclear, inflammation appears to play a key role. Here, we review the evidence for roles of inflammatory mechanisms in the disease features of schizophrenia and how these mechanisms interact with APD treatment. We also discuss the effects of common inflammatory mediators on metabolic disease. Then, we review the evidence of intrinsic and APD-mediated effects on systemic inflammation in schizophrenia. Finally, we speculate about possible treatment strategies. Developing an improved understanding of inflammatory processes in schizophrenia may therefore introduce new, more effective options for treating not only schizophrenia but also primary metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Antipsychotic use is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Recent work suggests antipsychotics can induce insulin resistance immediately and independently of weight gain, and that this may occur via the central nervous system (CNS). We have previously shown that the highly effective and widely prescribed antipsychotic, olanzapine inhibits CNS insulin-mediated suppression of hepatic glucose production, but the mechanisms remain unknown. The ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel is a key metabolic sensor downstream of hypothalamic insulin signalling, involved in the maintenance of glucose homeostasis. Thus, the possibility arises that olanzapine inhibits central KATP channel activation to disrupt glucose metabolism. We replicate that intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of the KATP channel activator, diazoxide, suppresses hepatic glucose production and additionally demonstrate stimulation of peripheral glucose utilization. We report that olanzapine inhibits the effects of central KATP channel activation resulting in perturbation of whole body insulin sensitivity, specifically via inhibition of glucose utilization, while leaving central KATP channel-mediated suppression of glucose production intact. Perturbation of KATP channel action in the CNS could represent a novel mechanism of antipsychotic-induced diabetes.

Abstract
Disturbed eating behaviours have been widely reported in psychotic disorders since the early 19th century. There is also evidence that antipsychotic (AP) treatment may induce binge eating or other related compulsive eating behaviours. It is therefore possible that abnormal eating patterns may contribute to the significant weight gain and other metabolic disturbances observed in patients with psychosis. In this scoping review, we aimed to explore the underlying psychopathological and neurobiological mechanisms of disrupted eating behaviours in psychosis spectrum disorders and the role of APs in this relationship. A systematic search identified 35 studies that met our eligibility criteria and were included in our qualitative synthesis. Synthesizing evidence from self-report questionnaires and food surveys, we found that patients with psychosis exhibit increased appetite and craving for fatty food, as well as increased caloric intake and snacking, which may be associated with increased disinhibition. Limited evidence from neuroimaging studies suggested that AP-naïve first episode patients exhibit similar neural processing of food to healthy controls, while chronic AP exposure may lead to decreased activity in satiety areas and increased activity in areas associated with reward anticipation. Overall, this review supports the notion that AP use can lead to disturbed eating patterns in patients, which may contribute to AP-induced weight gain. However, intrinsic illness-related effects on eating behaviors remain less well elucidated, and many confounding factors as well as variability in study designs limits interpretation of existing literature in this field and precludes firm conclusions from being made.

Abstract
Insulin action in the central nervous system is a major regulator of energy balance and cognitive processes. The development of central insulin resistance is associated with alterations in dopaminergic reward systems and homeostatic signals affecting food intake, glucose metabolism, body weight and cognitive performance. Emerging evidence has highlighted a role for antipsychotics (APs) to modulate central insulin-mediated pathways. Although APs remain the cornerstone treatment for schizophrenia they are associated with severe metabolic complications and fail to address premorbid cognitive deficits, which characterize the disorder of schizophrenia. In this review, we first explore how the hypothesized association between schizophrenia and CNS insulin dysregulation aligns with the use of APs. We then investigate the proposed relationship between CNS insulin action and AP-mediated effects on metabolic homeostasis, and different domains of psychopathology, including cognition. We briefly discuss a potential role of CNS insulin signaling to explain the hypothesized, but somewhat controversial association between therapeutic efficacy and metabolic side effects of APs. Finally, we propose how this knowledge might inform novel treatment strategies to target difficult to treat domains of schizophrenia.

Abstract
Insulin signaling in the central nervous system is at the intersection of brain and body interactions, and represents a fundamental link between metabolic and cognitive disorders. Abnormalities in brain insulin action could underlie the development of comorbid schizophrenia and type 2 diabetes. Among its functions, central nervous system insulin is involved in regulation of striatal dopamine levels, peripheral glucose homeostasis, and feeding regulation. In this review, we discuss the role and importance of central nervous system insulin in schizophrenia and diabetes pathogenesis from a historical and mechanistic perspective. We describe central nervous system insulin sites and pathways of action, with special emphasis on glucose metabolism, cognitive functioning, inflammation, and food preferences. Finally, we suggest possible mechanisms that may explain the actions of central nervous system insulin in relation to schizophrenia and diabetes, focusing on glutamate and dopamine signaling, intracellular signal transduction pathways, and brain energetics. Understanding the interplay between central nervous system insulin and schizophrenia is essential to disentangling this comorbid relationship and may provide novel treatment approaches for both neuropsychiatric and metabolic dysfunction.
