As a help of the mechanism elucidation of nicotine dependence, we studied the relationship between glycogen synthase kinase (GSK) - 3beta -1727A/T and -50T/C genetic polymorphisms, which are reported to be related to bipolar disorder. We genotyped the two polymorphisms in the GSK-3beta gene using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 103 healthy controls (never smokers) and 71 smokers with FTND scores of 3 or above. There is no significant relationship between the polymorphism of GSK-3beta -1727A/T and the nicotine addicts. However, it was shown that GSK-3beta -50T/C polymorphism was significantly associated with the nicotine dependence. There was significantly lower T-allele frequency in the smokers than controls (chi2 (2) = 23.42, P = 0.01; chi2 (1) = 12.17, P = 0.01).
为了辅助阐明尼古丁依赖的机制,我们研究了糖原合酶激酶(GSK)-3β -1727A/T和-50T/C基因多态性之间的关系,据报道这两种多态性与双相情感障碍有关。我们使用聚合酶链反应(PCR)对103名健康对照者(从不吸烟者)和71名FTND评分在3分及以上的吸烟者的GSK-3β基因中的这两种多态性进行基因分型。GSK-3β -1727A/T多态性与尼古丁成瘾者之间没有显著关系。然而,研究表明GSK-3β -50T/C多态性与尼古丁依赖显著相关。吸烟者中的T等位基因频率显著低于对照组(χ2(2)=23.42,P = 0.01;χ2(1)=12.17,P = 0.01)。
