摘要:
This invention relates to a method for diagnosing whether or not a subject suffers from depression in a simple manner with high accuracy using the peripheral whole blood sample of the subject. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for diagnosing depression comprising the steps of: measuring expression levels of 18 genes selected from the group consisting of FASLG; CX3CR1, TBX21, ID2, SLAMF7, PRSS23, YWHAQ, TARDBP, ADRB2, PPP1R8, MMAA, SQLE, PDHA1, HAVCR2, RACGAP1, AHNAK, EDG8, and DUSP5, in peripheral blood isolated from a subject; and determining whether or not the subject suffers from depression based on the expression levels of the 18 genes.

This invention relates to a simple method for evaluating stress of a normal healthy subject with high accuracy is provided. In this method, the expression profile of specific genes that serve as stress marker genes is analyzed, and stress of the subject is evaluated based on the analysis results.
摘要:
This invention provides a novel method of diagnosing the conditions of depression of a patient in a simple, objective, and accurate manner. In this method, gene expression is analyzed using mRNA of a subject's peripheral blood to evaluate whether or not the subject is afflicted with depression, the type of depression of a subject who had been evaluated as being afflicted with depression is identified, and the conditions of depression are then diagnosed in accordance with the type of depression.
摘要:
A method for promoting expression of p53 mRNA and an expression promoting agent for use in the method are provided. The expression of the p53 gene can be promoted by inhibiting the binding between RNA transcribed from exon 1 of the vegf-A gene and mRNA transcribed from the p53 gene. The inhibition of the binding can be achieved by, for example, degrading the RNA transcribed from the exon 1 of the vegf-A gene, inhibiting transcription of RNA from the exon 1 of the vegf-A gene, or binding a nucleic acid that is different from the mRNA transcribed from the p53 gene to the RNA transcribed from the exon 1 of the vegf-A gene.
