BACKGROUND: Although brain structural covariance network (SCN) abnormalities have been associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) in individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD), previous studies have reported inconsistent findings based on small sample sizes, and underlying transcriptional patterns remain poorly understood.
METHODS: Using a multicenter magnetic resonance imaging dataset including 218 MDD patients with STBs, 230 MDD patients without STBs, and 263 healthy control participants, we established individualized SCNs based on regional morphometric measures and assessed network topological metrics using graph theoretical analysis. Machine learning methods were applied to explore and compare the diagnostic value of morphometric and topological features in identifying MDD and STBs at the individual level. Brainwide relationships between STBs-related connectomic alterations and gene expression were examined using partial least squares regression.
RESULTS: Group comparisons revealed that SCN topological deficits associated with STBs were identified in the prefrontal, anterior cingulate, and lateral temporal cortices. Combining morphometric and topological features allowed for individual-level characterization of MDD and STBs. Topological features made a greater contribution to distinguishing between patients with and without STBs. STBs-related connectomic alterations were spatially correlated with the expression of genes enriched for cellular metabolism and synaptic signaling.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings revealed robust brain structural deficits at the network level, highlighting the importance of SCN topological measures in characterizing individual suicidality and demonstrating its linkage to molecular function and cell types, providing novel insights into the neurobiological underpinnings and potential markers for prediction and prevention of suicide.
