Corticosteroid receptor-gene variants: modulators of the stress-response and implications for mental health

European Journal of Pharmacology
Roel DeRijkFrans G Zitman

Abstract

The stress-response, including autonomic and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis reactivity, is essential for maintaining homeostasis during a challenge. Brain mineralocorticoid receptors and glucocorticoid receptors operate in balance to coordinate the stress-response. Genetic variants in both the human mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptor-genes have been functionally characterized. In vitro effects of these genetic variants on transactivation and mRNA stability have been described. In vivo, two mineralocorticoid receptor-gene SNPs (-2 G/C (allele frequency: 50%), MR I180V (11%)) and four glucocorticoid receptor-gene SNPs (ER22/23EK (3%), N363S (4%), BclI (37%), A3669G (15%)) are associated with changes in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis reactivity. Importantly, the two mineralocorticoid receptor-gene variants (but none of the glucocorticoid receptor-gene variants) also associate with changes in autonomic output as measured as increased heart beat following a psychosocial stress (TSST). Moreover, several of these mineralocorticorticoid receptor- and glucocorticoid receptor variants have been found associated with stress-related disorders, including depression. These data indicate that dysregulation of ...Continue Reading
