BACKGROUND: Central serotonin-2A (5-HT(2A)) receptor dysfunction is regarded as an important factor in the etiology of affective disorders. The relations between some personality traits and the vulnerability of affective disorders are also implicated. Moreover, there are several reports which describe the association between 5-HT(2A) receptor gene polymorphisms and mental disorders. We therefore examined the relationship between personality traits, the 5-HT(2A) receptor function, and 5-HT(2A) receptor gene polymorphisms. METHODS: 5-HT-induced intraplatelet calcium (Ca) mobilization, 5-HT(2A) receptor gene polymorphisms (A-1438G, T102C, T516C, C1340T, C1354T), and Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) scores were examined in 133 healthy subjects. RESULTS: Neither 5-HT-induced Ca mobilization nor 5-HT(2A) receptor gene polymorphisms (A-1438G, T102C) appear to be associated with seven personality dimensions including Harm Avoidance. There was no significant difference in the Ca response among the subjects with -1438A/A, A/G and G/G genotypes. Since the appearance of the other types of the 5-HT(2A) receptor gene polymorphisms (T516C, C1340T and C1354T) was quite rare in our sample, we were unable to examine the relationship between these polymorphisms, and the TCI score or the Ca response. LIMITATIONS: Our failure to find a significant association may reflect the false negative results due to the small sample size and low statistical power. Further studies in depressed patients may clarify the complicated relationship between personality traits and the vulnerability of affective disorders. CONCLUSIONS: Personality traits detected by TCI may not be directly related to the 5-HT(2A) receptor function or 5-HT(2A) receptor gene polymorphism which may be involved in the vulnerability of affective disorders. 相似文献

Serotonin 2C receptor (5-HT(2C)), serotonin 6 receptor (5-HT(6)), and tryptophan hydroxylase-1 (TPH1) genes could be candidates for personality-related genes considering the role of serotonin in various mental functions and behavior. However, a limited number of studies have investigated the association between these genes and personality traits. In the present study, we investigated the three serotonin-related genes, 5-HT(2C), 5-HT(6), and TPH1 genes, in relation to personality traits in the Japanese population. The Cys23Ser polymorphisms in the 5-HT(2C) gene, the 267T/C polymorphism of the 5-HT(6) gene, and the 779A/C polymorphisms in the TPH1 gene were genotyped in 253 healthy Japanese subjects. Personality traits were evaluated by using the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). As a result, no significant association was observed between the polymorphisms and the NEO PI-R or the STAI scores. The present results did not provide evidence for the association between the three serotonin-related genes and personality traits. The genes might not have major role in the development of personality traits, although further investigation with larger sample size may be recommended for conclusion. 相似文献

Several molecular genetic studies have been conducted with regard to the association between catecholamine-related genes and personality traits. However, the results of replication studies did not always coincide. One of the possible reasons may be that the effect exerted by the individual gene is small. In the present study, we investigated the association between personality traits and systematic combination of functional polymorphisms in three genes that regulate the metabolism of catecholamines, namely, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), monoamine oxidase A (MAOA), and catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). The (TCAT)n repeat in the TH gene, the promoter variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) in the MAOA gene, and Val158Met in the COMT gene were genotyped in 256 healthy Japanese volunteers. Personality traits were evaluated using the NEO Personality Inventory-Revised (NEO PI-R). As a result, the score for Neuroticism increased, and those for Extraversion and Conscientiousness decreased according to the degree of functional polymorphic change, i.e., the lower synthesis/higher catalysis of catecholamines. A statistically significant difference was observed in the change of Extraversion (p=0.04, after Bonferroni correction). These results may provide evidence for the association between metabolic change of catecholamines and personality traits, which may be due to the additive effect of the three genes. 相似文献

Eysenck (1983) has previously proposed biological mechanisms for his three personality dimensions. From a psychometric perspective there has been a growing acceptance of a five-factor model of personality incorporating two of Eysenck's dimensions Extraversion (E) and Neuroticism (N) together with Openness to Experience (O), Agreeableness (A) and Conscientiousness (C). Despite the growing acceptance of the 'Big 5' model of personality there has been very few studies that have examined the biological basis of O, A and C. In an exploratory study we report the correlations between photic driving at alpha, beta-1, beta-2, delta and theta bands and O, A and C from the NEO PI-R in 16 participants. Significant correlations between the EEG at frontal, occipital-parietal and central-temporal areas at different driving frequencies with O, A and C are discussed. 相似文献

Seasonality of births in schizophrenia and other mental disorders has been consistently observed. This may be through effects of unknown environmental factors that seasonally fluctuate on the brain development. The effects may affect cognitive function of the brain and behavioral characteristics that might be correlated with the development of personality not only in patients with mental disorders but also in healthy subjects. We, therefore, investigated the effects of season of birth on personality traits in healthy Japanese adults (n = 397). Personality traits were evaluated using the NEO Personality Inventory-Revised (NEO PI-R). A trend for lower Agreeableness in subjects born during winter (December to February) than other subjects was observed (P = 0.036, after correction for the multiple testing, multiple regression analysis adjusting for age and sex). Other major factors of the NEO PI-R, including Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness and Conscientiousness, were not affected by season of birth. Further studies may be recommended to confirm the results, considering the relatively limited sample size. Evaluation of cognitive functions and behaviors using other measures including event-related potentials and functional MRI may also help the interpretation of the present result. 相似文献

Serotonergic genes have been implicated in mood disorders, alcoholism and certain personality traits. The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between personality traits and several important genes in the serotonin system. The participants included 146 healthy adults with no history of psychiatric disorders or other physical illness during the last 6 months. All participants were tested by the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) and genotyped serotonin transporter, serotonin receptors (5-HT(2A) and 5-HT(6)) and tryptophan hydroxylase gene polymorphisms. Genotyping was analyzed with polymerase chain reaction. Differences in TCI dimensions and sub-scales among three groups were examined with ANOVA. Our result suggested that 5-HT(2A) receptor gene polymorphism (A-1438G) appears to be associated with self-determinism and self-transcendence (ST). Our result also indicated a significant relationship between 5-HT(6) receptor gene polymorphism (C267T) and ST. Further studies of polymorphisms of other genes and their interactions may clarify the complex relationship between personality and genes. 相似文献

The association between the dopamine D4 receptor (DRD4) exon III polymorphism and personality trait of novelty seeking (NS) has been studied intensively. In the Japanese population, the results of the previous studies did not always coincide. In the present study, we investigated the association between the polymorphism and personality traits evaluated by using the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) in 196 Japanese subjects. A meta-analysis of the present and previous Japanese studies was also conducted regarding NS. As a result, significant association was observed between the polymorphism and personality traits evaluated by using NEO PI-R as a whole (p=0.022, MANCOVA). Subsequent analyses showed a significant association between short alleles (2-4 repeats) and higher scores for Neuroticism or its subscales, Anxiety, Depression, and Vulnerability (p=0.015, 0.039, 0.021, and 0.008, respectively, uncorrected). No other significant difference in the scores for NEO PI-R was observed in the subsequent analyses. Significant association was also observed between the polymorphism and scores for STAI as a whole (p=0.004, MANCOVA). Subsequent analyses did not show significant association, although a weak trend for the relation between the genotype consisting of short alleles and Trait Anxiety was observed (p=0.10, uncorrected). The meta-analysis showed no significant association between the polymorphism and NS. Thus, the present study suggested the association between the short allele of the DRD4 exon III polymorphism and personality trait of Neuroticism in Japanese subjects. 相似文献

Studies have shown that genetic components to some extent underlie behavioral disorders such as impulsive aggression and violence, and that central serotonergic mechanisms are involved in the development of such behavior. In the present study, we analyzed a polymorphism in the gene encoding the serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT2A -1438 G/A) in a group of Swedish criminals (n=97) and in a group of healthy Swedish blood donors (n=202). The 5-HT2A -1438 GG genotype was lower in the criminal group than in the control group (P=0.034). In accordance with previous results, no associations were found between the 5-HT2A -1438 G/A polymorphism and personality as measured by Karolinska Scales of Personality. Neither were there any associations between the studied polymorphism and the type of crime committed. 相似文献

Mitochondria is the major site of energy production in cells, therefore, mitochondrial abnormality may affect functions of organs including the brain, which constantly requires high levels of energy consumption. Previous studies have suggested a role of mitochondria and their DNA polymorphisms in neuro-psychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia and bipolar mood disorder. Thus, we hypothesized that mitochondrial DNA polymorphisms might be related with the development of personality. The present study investigated a role of two mitochondrial DNA polymorphisms, the C5178A and A10398G, in personality traits evaluated using the NEO PI-R scores in 238 healthy Japanese volunteers. Subjects with the 5178A genotype showed significantly higher extraversion score than those with the 5178C genotype (P = 0.027), while no significant association was observed between the C5178A polymorphism and other scores. No significant association was found between the A10398G polymorphism and any scores. Regarding the 5178-10398 haplotype, the score of extraversion, not other scores, was significantly associated with the A-G haplotype (P = 0.042). Although further studies are recommended for the confirmation, the result may suggest a role of the mitochondrial DNA polymorphism in the personality trait. 相似文献

Recently, a polymorphism of the XBP1 gene (-116 C/G) was observed to play a significant role in the development of bipolar mood disorder from the Japanese population. The present study investigated a role of the polymorphism in the development of personality in healthy Japanese volunteers (n = 195). Personality traits were evaluated using NEO Personality Inventory-Revised (NEO PI-R). As a result, a statistical trend for association between the polymorphism (genotype) and the NEO PI-R scores of agreeableness and neuroticism was observed (ANOVA, P = 0.01 and 0.006, respectively). Subjects with the G allele, especially those with G-G genotype, tended to show lower neuroticism and higher agreeableness in the present study. The result is provisional and should be interpreted with caution, partly because the previous study suggested the allele as a risk allele for bipolar disorder. Further studies are required to confirm the results. 相似文献

The authors tested hypotheses concerning personality differences in treatment-seeking suicide attempters (AT; n = 60) and a community sample of suicides (SU; n = 43) over age 50. On the basis of prior research, the authors hypothesized that SU would be lower in Neuroticism and Openness and higher in Conscientiousness. A 2-group (AT vs. SU) multivariate analysis of covariance with NEO Personality Inventory--Revised (Informant Version) domain scores as dependent variables revealed that SU were lower in Neuroticism and higher in Conscientiousness. The authors conclude that AT and SU in this age group can be distinguished on the basis of informant ratings of personality traits. These differences can inform risk detection. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: There is a heritable component to suicidal behaviour, encouraging the search for the associated risk alleles. Given the putative role of the 5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine; serotonin) system in suicidal behaviour, serotonergic genes are leading candidates. In particular, several studies have reported an association with variants in the tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) gene. METHOD: We studied six serotonergic gene polymorphisms in a well-characterized sample of 129 deliberate self-harm subjects and 329 comparison subjects. The polymorphisms were TPH (A779C), 5-HT transporter (5-HTT, LPR S/L), monoamine oxidase A (MAOA G941T), 5-HT1B receptor (HTR1B G861C), 5-HT2A receptor (HTR2A T102C), and 5-HT2C receptor (HTR2C Cys23Ser). Genotyping was done using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assays. The primary analyses compared allele and genotype frequencies between cases and controls. There were a limited number of planned secondary analyses within the deliberate self-harm group. RESULTS: The TPH A779 allele was more common in deliberate self-harm subjects than in controls (OR 1.38, 95% CI 1.02-1.88; P = 0.03). None of the other polymorphisms was associated with deliberate self-harm. Within the deliberate self-harm group there were no associations with impulsivity, suicide risk, lifetime history of depression, or family history of deliberate self-harm. CONCLUSIONS: Our data extend the evidence that allelic variation in the TPH gene is a risk factor for deliberate self-harm. No evidence was found to implicate the other polymorphisms. 相似文献

The present study investigated whether personality traits may influence the outcome of collage works. In this study, 60 undergraduates were asked to fill Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) and generate collage works. The relations between the five factors of the NEO-PI-R (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness) and some evaluation measures of collage works (constructional features of collage works and characteristic behavior patterns in the process of their generation) were examined. Results indicated that several subscales of personality traits were substantially correlated with some indices of both two measures. These findings suggest that collage work may be a useful tool for psychological assessment. 相似文献

To examine the distribution of different polymorphisms in genes of the 5-HT system in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN), we analyzed the distribution of a polymorphism (-1438G/A) and the presence of known mutations in 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptor genes in 168 Italian female patients affected by AN and BN. Patients with AN restricting type (ANr) only, unlike those with AN binge eating/purging type (ANp) and BN purging type (BNp), showed a statistically significant difference in 5-HT2A-1438A/A genotype frequency with respect to controls. With regard to the other polymorphisms, no differences were found in the studied groups with respect to controls. 5-HT2A promoter polymorphism is probably implicated in the susceptibility to eating disorders and its involvement is more significant in ANr, when compared with ANp and BNp. 相似文献

Recently, neural substrates of the Big Five personality model were investigated using neuroimaging. We examined the relationships between the amplitude of spontaneous low-frequency oscillations (LFO) and the Big Five traits using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (R-fMRI). Twenty-four healthy right-handed undergraduates (23.13 ± 1.87 years, 9 males and 15 females) participated in 5-min R-fMRI and completed the NEO Five-Factor Inventory. We observed that Neuroticism correlated negatively with regional activity of the middle frontal gyrus and precuneus; Extraversion correlated positively with regional activity of the striatum, precuneus, and superior frontal gyrus; Openness correlated positively with the thalamus and amygdala, and negatively with the superior frontal gyrus; Conscientiousness correlated positively with regional activity of the middle frontal gyrus and correlated negatively with the cerebellum. Our results revealed the neural substrates of Extraversion, Neuroticism, Openness, and Conscientiousness in the amplitude of spontaneous LFO. 相似文献

Although the cognitive disorder of multiple sclerosis (MS) is well characterized, little is known about personality changes that may occur in this disease. There are reliable personality tests available for research in neurological disease, based on the well-known Five Factor Model. Preliminary research suggests that cognitively impaired MS patients exhibit elevation in Neuroticism, and diminution in Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness, as do patients with Alzheimer's disease. We predicted that these characteristics would be associated with lower neocortical volume. We studied 44 patients using brain MRI and the NEO Five-Factor Inventory. Regression models controlling for T2 lesion volume, depression, and cognitive dysfunction revealed significant correlation between cortical atrophy and reduction in Extraversion and Conscientiousness. Discrepancies between patient- and informant-reports were found, and overreporting of high Openness and Conscientiousness among patients was associated with lower neocortical volume. A final regression model accounting for depression, cognitive function, and personality accounted for 38% of the variance in neocortical volume. These findings suggest that cortical atrophy in MS is associated with adverse impact on personality, although longitudinal research is needed to test this hypothesis. 相似文献

Although the serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)) 2A receptor has been reported to be associated with pain, no relationship has been found between single nucleotide polymorphisms in the 5-HT2A receptor gene and analgesic requirements. To clarify the mechanism of individual differences in analgesic requirements, we investigated the relationship between the 5-HT2A 102T/C gene polymorphism and analgesic requirements in 135 patients who underwent major open abdominal surgery and were managed with continuous epidural analgesia with opioids after surgery. Genotyping was performed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. We found that the 102T/C polymorphism had significant main effects with regard to analgesic requirements. In addition, significant interaction effects were found between the 102T/C polymorphism and sex in terms of analgesic requirements. Among female subjects, patients with the T/T genotype of the 102T/C polymorphism had more analgesic requirements than those with the other genotypes. This finding suggests that the linkage disequilibrium block, which includes the 102T/C polymorphism of the 5-HT2A receptor gene, is involved in individual differences in analgesic requirements in women. 相似文献

The association between personality and resting brain activity was investigated. Personality was assessed using the NEO-Five-factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) and resting brain activity was indexed by eyes closed EEG spectral magnitude from four frequency bands over the entire cortex. Results suggest that there are differences between males and females in the NEO-FFI personality traits. The NEO FFI traits were associated with lower frequency brain activity in both males and females. Mild significant and consistent associations were found between delta and theta activity across all cortical regions with Extraversion and Conscientiousness. There were few associations between personality traits and alpha and beta activity, this was shown in males only. Fewer associations between personality and faster frequency bands such as alpha may be due to the methodological problem of using fixed alpha bands. Multiple regression analyses showed that individual alpha frequencies had a greater contribution to personality traits than fixed band alpha waves. 相似文献

Epidemiological and genetic studies on smoking behavior have been performed, and in this study the human serotonin 2A receptor (HTR2A) polymorphism was examined in 82 smoking behaviorists and 125 healthy controls. HTR2A consists of at least 14 subtypes, depression and anxiety occur due to agonists, and hallucination, fever heat, psychomotor excitement and other symptoms also occur. The polymorphism in HTR2A (102T/C, -1438A/G) was identified by means of the polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism, and the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence was used to determine the extent of smoking behavior. The results suggest that the HTR2A (102T/C, -1438G/A) polymorphism might not be associated with susceptibility to a risk factor for developing smoking behavior. Further studies are required to determine whether or not the novel serotonin receptor (5-HTR) polymorphism reflects the pathogenesis of smoking behavior. 相似文献
