Suicide,stress and serotonin receptor 1A promoter polymorphism -1019C>G in Slovenian suicide victims

Implication of serotonergic system in suicide and suicide attempts has been discussed for several years. One of the most abundant serotonin receptors in the mammalian brain is the receptor 1A (5-HT1A); studies of its polymorphisms and suicide have provided very inconsistent results so far. The suggestion that the G allele depresses HTR1A autoreceptor expression, and therefore reduces serotonergic neurotransmission that might predispose to depression and suicide, made the promoter polymorphism -1019C>G a very promising candidate gene. In our study we analyzed promoter polymorphism -1019C>G on 323 suicide victims and 190 controls (all of Slovenian origin), taking into account sex, suicide method, and in case of suicide victims also stressful life events. Differences in the distributions of genotype and allele frequencies were not statistically significant between suicide victims and control group, and the same was found for distributions according to sex and suicide method. For 62 suicide victims information about stressful life events in the month prior to the suicide and in childhood was provided. For analysis we combined CG/GG genotypes and compared them to the CC genotype. More stressful life events in the month prior to the suicide were reported for the subgroup with CC genotype (mean number of events = 2.53; SD = 1.50) in comparison to subgroup with CG/GG genotypes (mean number of events = 1.58; SD = 1.32; P < 0.05). However, subgroups of suicide victims with CC or CG/GG genotypes did not differ regarding numbers of reported stressful life events in childhood (P > 0.05). Our study provides no evidence for the implication of HTR1A promoter polymorphism in suicide in general, but it suggests further studies that would take into account the interconnected network of suicide completion, genetic background and stress, beside other risk factors.     

Exaggerated 5-HT1A but normal 5-HT2A receptor activity in individuals ill with anorexia nervosa.

BACKGROUND: Many studies have found disturbances of serotonin (5-HT) activity in anorexia nervosa (AN). Because little is known about 5-HT receptor function in AN, positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with 5-HT receptor-specific radioligands was used to characterize 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors. METHODS: Fifteen women ill with AN (ILL AN) were compared with 29 healthy control women (CW); PET and [11C]WAY100635 were used to assess binding potential (BP) of the 5-HT1A receptor, and [18F]altanserin was used to assess postsynaptic 5-HT2A receptor BP. [15O] water and PET were used to assess cerebral blood flow. RESULTS: The ILL AN women had a highly significant (30%-70%) increase in [11C]WAY100635 BP in prefrontal and lateral orbital frontal regions, mesial and lateral temporal lobes, parietal cortex, and dorsal raphe nuclei compared with CW. The [18F]altanserin BP was normal in ILL AN but was positively and significantly related to harm avoidance in suprapragenual cingulate, frontal, and parietal regions. Cerebral blood flow was normal in ILL AN women. CONCLUSIONS: Increased activity of 5-HT1A receptor activity may help explain poor response to 5-HT medication in ILL AN. This study extends data suggesting that 5-HT function, and, specifically, the 5-HT2A receptor, is related to anxiety in AN.     

Association of the 5-HT2A receptor gene polymorphism 102 T/C with ischemic stroke

Serotonin (5-HT) has been implicated in a number of cardiovascular disorders due to its ability to induce vascular contraction and platelet aggregation through activation of the 5-HT2 receptor family. In this study, we investigated the association of stroke in a Scandinavian population with two common polymorphisms in the 5-HT2A receptor gene. The two polymorphisms under investigation, namely the 102T/C and the −1438A/G variations of the 5-HT2A receptor gene, were examined in a case control association study involving 99 stroke patients and a comparable number of controls. Among patients, the prevalence of the homozygous 102T/T genotype was significantly higher than in controls (28.3% vs 13.5%; p<0.01). The allelic frequency of 102T carriers was also significantly higher in stroke patients than in controls (p=0.002, OR=1.88, 95%CI, 1.27–2.80). The association between the 102T allele and stroke was significant in both males and females. There was no association between stroke and the −1438A/G polymorphism. Taken together, this study indicates that the 102T/C polymorphism in the 5-HT2A receptor gene could be an independent risk factor for developing stroke.

Autoradiographic analyses of 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors after social isolation in mice

Social isolation of rodents is used to model human psychopathological processes. In the present study, the effects of intermediate and long term isolation housing on postsynaptic 5-HT_1A and 5-HT_2A receptors were analyzed in male mice housed in groups or isolation for 4 and 12 weeks. [³H]8-OH-DPAT and [³H]ketanserin were used to label 5-HT_1A and 5-HT_2A receptors. Four representative sagittal sections (planes 1–4) were scored by in vitro autoradiography. Whereas after 4 weeks of housing both receptor densities were lowered significantly in isolated mice, after 12 weeks of housing only marginal isolation effects were seen. Intermediate isolation reduced 5-HT_1A receptors especially in the lateral frontal, parietal and entorhinal cortex (−63%), in the lateral CA1–3 and dentate gyrus region of the hippocampus (−68%), in the basolateral, basomedial, central and medial amygdaloid nuclei (between −38 and −66%), and in the hypothalamus (−28%). 5-HT_2A receptors were strongly reduced in the frontal cortex (between −47 and −74%), in the hippocampus (between −47 and −95%), in the striatum (between −66 and −76%), and in the accumbens nucleus (between −59 and −73%) in comparison to group housed control mice. After 12 weeks of isolation in the hippocampus continuously decreased 5-HT_1A receptor densities were demonstrated (between −24 and −61%). But increased 5-HT_2A receptor densities were seen in the lateral striatum (+86%) compared to control mice. Age-dependent effects were also found. After 12 weeks of group housing the 5-HT_1A and 5-HT_2A receptor densities were decreased (between −28 and −54%) in all analyzed brain regions in comparison to 4 weeks of group housing. Isolated animals showed diminished 5-HT_1A receptor densities in the cortex (−14%) and hippocampus (−15%), but increased 5-HT_1A receptor densities in the amygdala (+33%) after 12 weeks. The 5-HT_2A receptor densities were increased in all analyzed regions (between +31 and +96%) after 12 weeks of isolation compared to 4 weeks. To explain these dynamic, time-dependent pattern of isolation-induced changes different regulation processes are supposed regarding 5-HT_1A and 5-HT_2A receptors. Besides metabolism-related adaptation processes also neurotransmitter and hormonal (e.g., glucocorticoid) interactions especially in limbic regions have to be considered.

Association of 5-HT2A receptor gene polymorphisms with gastrointestinal disorders in Egyptian children with autistic disorder

Gastrointestinal disturbances (GID) are frequently reported in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Recently, mounting evidence suggests that there may be a genetic link for autism with gastrointestinal disturbances.We aimed to investigate whether there were any association between the -1438A/G, 102T/C and His452Tyr polymorphisms of the serotonin 2A receptor gene (5-HT2A) in Egyptian children with ASD and GID. Eighty children with autistic disorder and 100 healthy control children were examined. -1438A/G, 102T/C and His452Tyr polymorphisms of 5-HT2A were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Significant increase of the G allele and the GG genotype of the -1438A/G polymorphism was observed in children with autism than control, but there were no significant differences in the frequencies either of the 102T/C genotype or His452Tyr genotype between the two groups. There was a significant increase of homozygote A allele of the -1438A/G and CC genotype of the 102T/C polymorphism in ASD children with GID. This study supports the possible involvement of the 5-HT2A receptor in the development of ASD and associated GID.     

Chronic administration of the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT differentially desensitizes 5-HT1A autoreceptors of the dorsal and median raphe nuclei

The present study investigated alterations of the regulation of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) release by 5-HT_1A autoreceptors following single and repeated treatment with the 5-HT_1A receptor agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)-tetralin (8-OH-DPAT). Rats were pretreated with 8-OH-DPAT (1.0 mg/kg, s.c.) for 1, 7, or 14 days. The ability of an acute challenge administration of 8-OH-DPAT (1.0 mg/kg, i.p.) to decrease 5-HT release in the ventral striatum and the ventral hippocampus of rats maintained under chloral hydrate anesthesia was examined 24 h after the last pretreatment injection using in vivo microdialysis. The decrease of 5-HT release in the striatum produced by the challenge dose of the 5-HT_1A receptor agonist was diminished following 7 and 14 days of pretreatment, but not after 1 day of pretreatment, with 8-OH-DPAT. In contrast, decreases of 5-HT release in the hippocampus by the 8-OH-DPAT challenge were not altered after 1 or 7 days of pretreatment, and only a trend for attenuation appeared after pretreatment for 14 days. The results of the present study indicate that desensitization of 5-HT_1A autoreceptors regulating 5-HT release in different brain regions by repeated treatment with 8-OH-DPAT occurs at different rates.

5-HT1 receptors in migraine pathophysiology and treatment

Migraine is a frequent paroxysmal headache disorder of unknown aetiology. Genetic factors may control attack frequency and possibly attack severity. Serotonin_1D (5-HT_1Dβ) receptors have a prominent position within the final common pathway of the mechanisms involved in the headache and associated symptoms. Stimulation of these receptors by selective 5-HT_1Dβ receptor agonists such as sumatriptan and newer compounds including MK-462 and 311C90, rapidly and fully blocks the symptoms of the headache phase. The efficacy depends on factors such as timing of administration during or before the headache, speed of initial rise of drug plasma levels, and possibly degree of brain penetration. All agonists at S-HT_1Dβ receptors share a short duration of action resulting in recurrence of the headache symptoms within 24 h in about one-third of attacks in clinical trials. The risk for headache recurrence seems patient dependent: about 10% of patients treating multiple attacks experience headache recurrence in every treated attack, whereas 40% never experience recurrence. These differences are not related to simple pharmacokinetic differences between patients or drugs. Increasing plasma half-life of the drug will most likely not reduce the risk of recurrence. “Breakthrough of peripheral suppressive effect” with an ongoing “central migraine generator”, rather than the occurrence of a new attack, seems to be the most likely underlying mechanism for headache recurrence. In a minority of, possibly predisposed, patients, use of sumatriptan may induce increase of attack frequency. Four mechanisms have been suggested for the antimigraine action of 5-HT_1Dβ receptor agonists: (1) vasoconstriction of cranial, most likely meningeal and dural blood vessels; (2) inhibition of release of vasoactive neuropeptides from perivascular trigeminal nerve terminals within dura mater and meninges; (3) blockade of trigeminal nerve terminal depolarization; and (4) central inhibition within the trigeminal nucleus caudatus in the brainstem. Which of these mechanisms is the most important, and whether or not vasoconstrictor action is necessary for antimigraine efficacy, is currently under extensive investigation. At this point all drugs with proven antimigraine efficacy share the ability to contract blood vessels and thus all feature also the potential risk of causing vasoconstriction of coronary vessels. In relation herewith, major efforts are put into the search for “the antimigraine receptor” and which receptor subtype mediates which action of sumatriptan-like drugs. At this point, the 5-HT_1Dβ receptor subtype is thought to mediate vasoconstriction. Some investigators feel that the 5-HT_1Dα receptor subtype mediates the neuronal effects of sumatriptan, while others are much less convinced about the physiological role of this subtype of receptor. Further research into receptor subtype specificity and affinity of compounds may promote the development of even better antimigraine drugs.
