Neuroimaging and 5-HT2C receptor polymorphism: a HMPAO-SPECT study in healthy male probands using mCPP-challenge of the 5-HT2C receptor. Pharmacopsychiatry, 2004, Volume: 37, Issue:6 The human 5-HT (2C) receptor gene has been localized on the X chromosome and is expressed in two genetic variants. Whereas previous investigations have suggested that the 5-HT (2C) receptor gene polymorphism is critically involved in the pathogenesis of affective and eating disorders, as yet the functional consequences being associated with the rare serine variant of the 5-HT (2C) receptor in humans are unclear.. We explored by HMPAO-SPECT if a challenge with the serotonin agonist mCPP, that interacts mainly with the 5-HT (2C) receptor, provokes different patterns of regional cerebral bloodflow (rCBF) as a function of the genetic variant of the receptor. Thus we studied its action in 16 healthy male volunteers carrying the common 5-HT (2C)-cys-23 receptor gene and 16 healthy male volunteers carrying the less frequent 5-HT (2C)-ser-23 receptor gene.. We found significant differences in rCBF between the two genotypes after mCPP infusion compared to placebo: In the cysteine group rCBF was increased in the left medial prefrontal cortex and decreased in the left anterior cingulate and right medio-temporal cortex, whereas the serine group showed an increase of rCBF in the left medio- and superior-temporal cortex and in cerebellum and a reduced rCBF in the right medial prefrontal cortex. In addition, there was a significant disordinal interaction of the genotype factors and challenge with an increase of rCBF in the serine group and a decrease in the cysteine group in the left motor cortex and calcarine cortex. Additionally, a decrease of rCBF in the serine-group and a simultaneous increase in the cysteine group was found in the right anterior and the left posterior cingulate cortex.. These findings suggest that differences in the 5-HT (2C) receptor gene polymorphism has functional consequences due to a different responsiveness of the expressed 5-HT (2C) receptor variants.
