Abstract

Intrusive memories are a hallmark symptom of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and oxytocin has been implicated in the formation of intrusive memories. This study investigates how oxytocin influences the acquisition and consolidation of trauma-associated memories and whether these effects are influenced by individual neurobiological and genetic differences. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 220 healthy women received either a single dose of intranasal 24IU oxytocin or a placebo before exposure to a trauma film paradigm that solicits intrusive memories. We used a "general random forest" machine learning approach to examine whether differences in the noradrenergic and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity, polygenic risk for psychiatric disorders, and genetic polymorphism of the oxytocin receptor influence the effect of oxytocin on the acquisition and consolidation of intrusive memories. Oxytocin induced significantly more intrusive memories than placebo did (t(188.33) = 2.12, p = 0.035, Cohen's d = 0.30, 95% CI 0.16-0.44). As hypothesized, we found that the effect of oxytocin on intrusive memories was influenced by biological covariates, such as salivary cortisol, heart rate variability, and PTSD polygenic risk scores. The five factors that were most relevant to the oxytocin effect on intrusive memories were included in a Poisson regression, which showed that, besides oxytocin administration, higher polygenic loadings for PTSD and major depressive disorder were directly associated with a higher number of reported intrusions after exposure to the trauma film stressor. These results suggest that intranasal oxytocin amplifies the acquisition and consolidation of intrusive memories and that this effect is modulated by neurobiological and genetic factors.

摘要

侵入性记忆是创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的一个标志性症状,而催产素被认为与侵入性记忆的形成有关。本研究旨在调查催产素如何影响与创伤相关记忆的获得和巩固,以及这些影响是否受到个体神经生物学和遗传差异的影响。在这项随机、双盲、安慰剂对照研究中,220 名健康女性在接受创伤电影范式暴露前,分别接受了单剂量 24IU 鼻腔内催产素或安慰剂。我们使用“广义随机森林”机器学习方法来检查去甲肾上腺素能和下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺轴活性、精神障碍多基因风险以及催产素受体遗传多态性的差异是否影响催产素对侵入性记忆获得和巩固的影响。催产素引起的侵入性记忆明显多于安慰剂(t(188.33)=2.12,p=0.035,Cohen's d=0.30,95%CI 0.16-0.44)。正如假设的那样,我们发现催产素对侵入性记忆的影响受到生物协变量的影响,如唾液皮质醇、心率变异性和 PTSD 多基因风险评分。与催产素对侵入性记忆的影响最相关的五个因素被纳入泊松回归,结果表明,除了催产素给药外,PTSD 和重度抑郁症的多基因负荷越高,与创伤电影应激源暴露后报告的侵入次数增加直接相关。这些结果表明,鼻腔内催产素放大了侵入性记忆的获得和巩固,而这种效应受到神经生物学和遗传因素的调节。试验注册:NCT03031405。
