Abstract

Genetic and environmental factors are thought to play roles in the etiopathology of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). The objective of this study was to determine the potential effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) (rs4680) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) 2A (5-HT2A) receptor (rs6313 and rs6311) genes on susceptibility to FMS. One hundred seventy-one women (80 FMS, 91 control) were enrolled in the study. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used for the genotyping analyses. Genotype and allele frequencies were calculated by the chi-square test. Beck depression inventory, state and trait anxiety inventory and symptom checklist-90 revised (SCL-90-R) tests were applied to both patients and controls. There were no observed differences in the frequencies of alleles and genotypes between patients and controls for the COMT, and the two 5-HT2A receptor gene polymorphisms (P > 0.05). Our results suggest that the investigated polymorphisms seem not to be the susceptibility factors in etiology of FMS.

5-HT2A SNPs Alter the Pharmacological Signaling of Potentially Therapeutic Psychedelics

Gavin P. Schmitz, Manish K. Jain, Samuel T. Slocum, Bryan L. Roth

Summary: In this study, the researchers examined the effects of sequence variations in the 5-HT2AR gene on the signaling of four commonly used psychedelic drugs. They found that these genetic variations have statistically significant, but modest, effects on the efficacy and potency of the drugs. Importantly, these effects are specific to each drug.

Fatigue in Women with Fibromyalgia: A Gene-Physical Activity Interaction Study

Aparicio, Pedro Acosta-Manzano, Victor Segura-Jimenez, Inmaculada C. alvarez-Gallardo, Ana Carbonell-Baeza, Diego Munguia-Izquierdo, Rinie Geenen, Eliana Lacerda, Manuel Delgado-Fernandez, Luis J. Martinez-Gonzalez, Jonatan R. Ruiz, Maria J. alvarez-Cubero

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the role of genetic susceptibility and gene-physical activity interactions in fatigue among women with fibromyalgia. It found that certain gene polymorphisms were related to fatigue, and that physically active carriers of specific genotypes reported lower levels of fatigue compared to their inactive counterparts. Overall, the study suggests that genetics and gene-physical activity interactions play a modest role in fatigue in fibromyalgia.

Summary: Decreased dendritic spine density in the cortex is a common feature of neuropsychiatric diseases, and psychedelics have been found to promote cortical neuron growth. This study shows that intracellular 5-HT2A receptors mediate the plasticity-promoting effects of psychedelics, providing insight into the mechanisms behind their therapeutic effects. The findings suggest that targeting intracellular 5-HT2A receptors could be a potential therapeutic approach.

Efficacy of 5-HT2A antagonists on negative symptoms in patients with schizophrenia: A meta-analysis

B. Romeo, L. Willaime, E. Rari, A. Benyamina, C. Martelli

Summary: Negative symptoms of schizophrenia have a significant impact on prognosis and are difficult to treat with antipsychotic medication. A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of 5-HT2A antagonist treatments on negative symptoms. The analysis found that 5-HT2A antagonists demonstrated a greater decrease in negative symptoms compared to placebo, but no difference in positive symptoms. The study suggests that 5-HT2A antagonists may be useful in treating negative symptoms in schizophrenia patients.

Summary: Psilocybin has shown promise as a potential treatment for major depressive disorder, with a single dose causing lasting changes in personality and mood. In a pig model study, behavioral changes, receptor occupancy, and gene expression in the brain after psilocybin injection were investigated. The study found differential gene expression in the prefrontal cortex and regulated immunological pathways one week after psilocybin exposure.

The Interrelationship Between FYN and miR-128/193a-5p/494 in Imatinib Resistance in Prostate Cancer

Summary: In this study, it was found that miR-128/193a-5p/494 may be associated with imatinib resistance in prostate cancer. Specifically, the upregulation of FYN may suppress the transcriptional activity of miR-128/193a-5p/494. Thus, miR-128/193a-5p/494 may play a critical role in imatinib resistance through the tr-KIT pathway.
