AimsTo investigate the role of genetic polymorphisms in candidate genes associated with the HPA axis and their interactions with environmental stressors in antidepressant response.MethodsThe remission of depressive symptoms after 8weeks of antidepressant treatment was tested against 21 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in five candidate genes associated with the HPA axis in a Chinese Han sample suffering from unipolar depression (n=273). Any history of childhood trauma and recent negative life events were measured using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF) (n=206) and the Life Event Scale (48 item, LES) (n=207), respectively. Reporter gene assays were used to evaluate the possible effects of the most significant SNP on gene expression.ResultsA functional polymorphism at 3 ' UTR of the corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 1 (CRHR1) gene (rs28364032) and three haplotypes containing it showed significant relationships with antidepressant remission. Further laboratory-based genomic studies showed that the G-to-A change of rs28364032 resulted in a 10-12% decrease in the intensity of luciferase activity. However, we failed to find association of environments and their interaction with HPA system-related genes with antidepressant remission.ConclusionsOur results support a definite role for CRHR1 in the pharmacogenetics of antidepressant drugs. This may contribute to interpatient differences in their responses to antidepressant drugs.
