Lithium reverses behavioral and axonal transport-related changes associated with ANK3 bipolar disorder gene disruption
The ankyrin-3 gene is associated with posttraumatic stress disorder and externalizing comorbidity
AnkG hemizygous mice present cognitive impairment and elevated anxiety/depressive-like traits associated with decreased expression of GABA receptors and postsynaptic density protein
TLDR
It is possible that the loss of AnkG in the brain disrupts the excitation/inhibition balance of neurotransmitters, hindering the synaptic plasticity of neurons, and consequently leading to abnormal behavioral symptoms, and may constitute a new target for treating neuropsychiatric diseases, especially cognitive dysfunction.
Ankyrin-3 as a molecular marker of early-life stress and vulnerability to psychiatric disorders
TLDR
The data suggest that alterations of Ank3 expression and function may contribute to the effects of ELS on the development of psychiatric disorders, and model in humans a gene by early stress interplay on brain phenotypes during cognitive performance.
Disruption of the psychiatric risk gene Ankyrin 3 enhances microtubule dynamics through GSK3/CRMP2 signaling
TLDR
The molecular effects of disrupting brain-specific Ank3 isoforms in mouse and neuronal model systems indicate that ANK3 functions in neuronal microtubule dynamics through GSK3 and its downstream substrate CRMP2.
Genetic disruption of ankyrin-G in adult mouse forebrain causes cortical synapse alteration and behavior reminiscent of bipolar disorder
TLDR
A mouse model with conditional disruption of ANK3 gene in neurons in adult forebrain (Ank-G cKO) recapitulates some of the core features of human bipolar disorder and indicates that cortical microcircuitry alterations during adulthood may be involved in pathogenesis.
Association analysis of ANK3 variants with bipolar disorder in the Korean population
TLDR
Haplotype analysis results suggest that ANK3 variants rs1938526 and rs10994336 may confer susceptibility for BD in the Korean population, and association analysis revealed a probable genetic difference between Korean and Caucasian populations in the degree of AnK3 involvement in BD pathogenesis.
Roles and mechanisms of ankyrin-G in neuropsychiatric disorders.
TLDR
Understanding mechanisms leading to potential pathways of pathogenesis in neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders, including BD, SZ, and ASD, which are caused by rare pathogenic mutations or changes in the expression levels of ankyrin-G in the brain are elucidated.

Effects of ANK3 Variation on Gray and White Matter in Bipolar Disorder
TLDR
Findings support effects of rs9804190 on frontotemporal WM in adolescents and adults with BD and suggest a mechanism contributing to WM pathology in BD.

Ankyrin 3: genetic association with bipolar disorder and relevance to disease pathophysiology
TLDR
The current evidence for genetic association of ANK3 with BD is reviewed, followed by a comprehensive overview of the known biology of the ankyrin G protein, focusing on its neural functions and their potential relevance to BD.
AKT Kinase Activity Is Required for Lithium to Modulate Mood-Related Behaviors in Mice
TLDR
This work modeled lithium responsiveness using cellular assays of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) signaling and mood-related behavioral assays in inbred strains of mice that differ in their response to lithium, and distinguished the mechanism of action of lithium from direct GSK-3 inhibition both in vivo and in vitro.
The Cognitive Impact of the ANK3 Risk Variant for Bipolar Disorder: Initial Evidence of Selectivity to Signal Detection during Sustained Attention
TLDR
The results suggest that allelic variation in ANK3 impacts cognitive processes associated with signal detection and this mechanism may relate to risk for BD, however, these results require independent replication and confirmation that AnK3 (rs10994336) is a direct functional variant.

TLDR
Evidence is reviewed that depression may be associated with impaired inhibitory control of GSK3, and mania by hyper-stimulation of G SK3, which provides substantial support for the hypothesis that inhibition of GK3 activity is therapeutic for mood disorders.
The role of lithium in the treatment of bipolar disorder: convergent evidence for neurotrophic effects as a unifying hypothesis.
TLDR
The evidence reviewed here suggests that lithium's neurotrophic effects in BD are an example of an old molecule acting as a new proof-of-concept agent, which will likely lead to the development of not only improved therapeutics for BD, but to neurotrophic enhancers that could prove useful in the treatment of many other illnesses.
Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3β Haploinsufficiency Mimics the Behavioral and Molecular Effects of Lithium
TLDR
It is shown that lithium therapy activates Wnt signaling in vivo, as measured by increased Wnt-dependent gene expression in the amygdala, hippocampus, and hypothalamus, which supports a central role for GSK-3β in mediating behavioral responses to lithium.

Neurobiological trait abnormalities in bipolar disorder
TLDR
Despite heterogeneous samples and conflicting findings pervading the literature, there is accumulating evidence for the existence of neurobiological trait abnormalities in BD at various scales of investigation.
