A Sex-Specific Role of Type VII Adenylyl Cyclase in Depression
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Major depression represents a complex mental disorder. The identification of biological markers that define subtypes of major depressive disorder would greatly facilitate appropriate medical treatments, as well as provide insight into etiology. Reduced activity of the cAMP signaling system has been implicated in the etiology of major depression. Previous work has shown low adenylyl cyclase activity in platelets and postmortem brain tissue of depressed individuals. Here, we investigate the role of the brain type VII isoform of adenylyl cyclase (AC7) in the manifestation of depressive symptoms in genetically modified animals, using a combination of in vivo behavioral experiments, gene expression profiling, and bioinformatics. We also completed studies with humans on the association of polymorphisms in the AC7 gene with major depressive illness (unipolar depression) based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV criteria. Collectively, our results demonstrate a sex-specific influence of the AC7 gene on a heritable form of depressive illness.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
