The serotonin transporter (SERT) mRNA was previously reported as a quantitative and pathophysiology-based biomarker of heavy drinking in 5HTTLPR:LL genotype-carriers treated with ondansetron. Here, we further validated the potential use of SERT mRNA for quantitative prediction of recent alcohol consumption (in the absence of treatment) and compared with known biomarkers ethyl glucuronide (EtG) and sulfate (EtS). Binge drinking men and women of European ancestry aged 21–65 years were enrolled in a 12-day, in-patient, randomized, double-blind, crossover study, where three beverage doses (placebo, 0.5g/kg (0.4g/kg), and 1g/kg (0.9g/kg) for men (women)) were administered individually in three four-day periods (experiments), separated by minimum of seven-day washout. Diet, sleep, and physical activity were controlled throughout the inpatient experiments. Twenty-nine participants were randomized to receive beverage doses counterbalancing sequence of treatment and gender within subgroups stratified by SERT genotypes 5HTTLPR:LL+rs25531:AA (LALA) vs 5HTTLPR:LS/SS. Peripheral venous blood was collected daily for (1) quantification of SLC6A4 mRNA (primary outcome measure) using qRT-PCR and (2) plasma EtG and EtS levels using tandem mass-spectrometry. The association between administered beverage dose and SERT mRNA from completers of at least one four-day experiment (N=18) assessed by a linear mixed model was not statistically significant. Significant positive associations were found with beverage dose and plasma EtG, EtS and EtG/EtS ratio (beta=5.8, SE=1.2, p<0.0001; beta=1.3, SE=0.6, p=0.023; and beta=3.0, SE=0.7, p<0.0001, respectively; C-statistic for discriminating outcomes were 0.97, 0.8, and 0.92, respectively). Additionally, we observed a sequence effect with greater placebo effect on SERT mRNA when administered during the first experiment (p=0.0009), but not on EtG/EtS measures. Larger and more innovative studies addressing effects of placebo, race, gender, and response to treatment with serotonergic agents are needed to fully assess SERT, and possibly other mRNA biomarkers of heavy and binge drinking.
