Investigating the potential anti-depressive mechanisms of statins: a transcriptomic and Mendelian randomization analysis

Abstract excerpt

Observational studies and randomized controlled trials presented inconsistent findings on the effects of cholesterol-lowering statins on depression. It therefore remains unclear whether statins have any beneficial effects on depression, and if so, what the underlying molecular mechanisms are. Here, we aimed to use genomic approaches to investigate this further. Using Connectivity Map (CMap), we first investigated...
