Genetic contributions to the etiology of substance abuse and dependence are topics of major interest. Acute and chronic cannabis use can produce drug-induced psychosis resembling schizophrenia and worsen positive symptoms of schizophrenia. The endocannabinoid system is one of the most important neural signaling pathways implicated in substance abuse and dependence. The fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is a primary catabolic enzyme of endocannabinoids. To clarify a possible involvement of FAAH in the etiology of methamphetamine dependence/psychosis or schizophrenia, we examined the genetic association of a nonsynonymous polymorphism of the FAAH gene (Pro129Thr) by a case-control study. We found no significant association in allele and genotype frequencies of the polymorphism with either disorder. Because the Pro129Thr polymorphism reduces enzyme instability, it is unlikely that dysfunction of FAAH and enhanced endocannabinoid system induce susceptibility to either methamphetamine dependence/psychosis or schizophrenia.
基因对药物滥用和成瘾病因的影响是备受关注的重要课题。急性和慢性大麻使用可导致类似精神分裂症的药物性精神病,并加重精神分裂症的阳性症状。内源性大麻素系统是与药物滥用和成瘾相关的最重要神经信号通路之一。脂肪酸酰胺水解酶(FAAH)是内源性大麻素的主要分解代谢酶。为阐明FAAH在甲基苯丙胺成瘾/精神病或精神分裂症病因中可能的作用,我们通过病例对照研究检测了FAAH基因非同义多态性(Pro129Thr)的基因关联性。我们发现该多态性的等位基因和基因型频率与这两种疾病均无显著关联。由于Pro129Thr多态性会降低酶的稳定性,FAAH功能障碍和内源性大麻素系统增强不太可能诱发甲基苯丙胺成瘾/精神病或精神分裂症的易感性。
