Although repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and prolonged intermittent theta-burst stimulation (piTBS) can induce changes in synaptic plasticity, the influence of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) genotypes on their antidepressant effects remain unknown. Hence, we investigated the BDNF polymorphism contribution to the antidepressant effect of different forms left-sided prefrontal stimulations in a randomized, sham-controlled study METHODS: Seventy-five patients with medication-resistant depression were randomly assigned into three monotherapy groups: piTBS, high-frequency(HF) rTMS, or sham. The acute treatment period was two weeks. 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating scale (HDRS-17) were applied at baseline, week-1, and week-2. The primary outcome was percentage changes of HDRS-17 (%HDRS-17 changes) analyzed by generalized estimating equation (GEE) model.
The GEE analysis revealed a significant interaction between group, time, and BDNF genotypes effects on %HDRS-17 changes over time. In patients carrying Val homozygotes, piTBS and HF-rTMS both exhibited significantly greater %HDRS reduction than sham at week-2. In Met carriers, only piTBS showed better efficacy than sham at week-2 (piTBS vs. sham, -41.1% vs.-18.9%, p=0.004). Regarding the influence of different BDNF genotypes on antidepressant efficacy in each intervention, only HF-rTMS exhibited significantly different degrees of %HDRS-17 changes between Val homozygotes and Met carriers (-68.5% vs. -26.4%, p=0.012, respectively), but piTBS delivered the consistent efficacy regardless of the BDNF polymorphism.
This is the first study to confirm the different impacts of BDNF genotypes on the effect of different left-sided prefrontal brain stimulation. BDNF Val66Met polymorphism may play a role in the antidepressant response of piTBS and HF-rTMS. (Trial Registration Number UMIN-CTR:UMIN000020892: Registration date: Feb.4, 2016).
尽管重复经颅磁刺激(rTMS)和延长的间歇性 theta 爆发刺激(piTBS)可以诱导突触可塑性的变化,但脑源性神经营养因子(BDNF)基因型对其抗抑郁作用的影响尚不清楚。因此,我们在一项随机、假对照研究中,研究了 BDNF 多态性对不同形式左侧前额叶刺激的抗抑郁作用的贡献。
75 名药物难治性抑郁症患者被随机分配到三个单药治疗组:piTBS、高频(HF)rTMS 或假刺激。急性治疗期为两周。基线、第 1 周和第 2 周应用 17 项汉密尔顿抑郁量表(HDRS-17)。采用广义估计方程(GEE)模型分析主要结局指标为 HDRS-17 评分的百分比变化(%HDRS-17 变化)。
GEE 分析显示,组间、时间和 BDNF 基因型对 %HDRS-17 变化的交互作用有显著影响。在携带 Val 纯合子的患者中,piTBS 和 HF-rTMS 在第 2 周时均较假刺激显示出更显著的 %HDRS 降低。在 Met 携带者中,只有 piTBS 在第 2 周时比假刺激显示出更好的疗效(piTBS 与假刺激相比,-41.1%与-18.9%,p=0.004)。关于不同 BDNF 基因型对每种干预措施抗抑郁疗效的影响,只有 HF-rTMS 在 Val 纯合子和 Met 携带者之间显示出 %HDRS-17 变化的显著差异(-68.5%与-26.4%,p=0.012),而 piTBS 则表现出一致的疗效,而与 BDNF 多态性无关。
这是第一项证实 BDNF 基因型对不同左侧前额叶脑刺激效果的不同影响的研究。BDNF Val66Met 多态性可能在 piTBS 和 HF-rTMS 的抗抑郁反应中起作用。(临床试验注册号 UMIN-CTR:UMIN000020892:注册日期:2016 年 2 月 4 日)。
