Mu-Opioid Receptor 1 and C-Reactive Protein Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms as Biomarkers of Pain Intensity and Opioid Consumption.

ABSTRACT: Children constitute a special group in pain therapy. Single nucleotide polymorphisms that are associated with differences in postoperative, inflammatory pain perception and opioid requirement are the A118G SNP in the mu-opioid receptor 1 (OPRM1) gene and the rs1205 CRP. This study aimed to determine connection between OPRM1 and rs1205 CRP SNPs in pediatric patients postoperatively and pain intensity, the opioid dose needed to control pain after scoliosis correction, and other clinical aspects. Genotypes of rs1205 CRP and OPRM1 polymorphisms in a sample of 31 patients were specified, and statistical analysis was performed in terms of age, genotype frequency, pain assessment, sufentanil flow, post-anesthesia care unit stay, and the use of coanalgesics. The frequency of A/A and A/G genotypes in the OPRM1 gene was in line with 1000Genomes data for the European population. Patients from the AG group of OPRM1 SNP more frequently required coanalgesics for adequate pain control; however, it was of weak statistical significance. Other parameters measured in the study were not statistically significant in relation to OPRM1 and CRP polymorphisms. The effect of SNPs on postoperative pain management and opioid therapy in children was not confirmed by this study. An expansion of the study sample and other opioid-related SNPs is required.

Project description:BackgroundDysregulation of the μ-opioid receptor has been reported in fibromyalgia (FM) and was linked to pain severity. Here, we investigated the effect of the functional genetic polymorphism of the μ-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1) (rs1799971) on symptom severity, pain sensitivity and cerebral pain processing in FM subjects and healthy controls (HC).MethodsSymptom severity and pressure pain sensitivity was assessed in FM subjects (n = 70) and HC (n = 35). Cerebral pain-related activation was assessed by functional magnetic resonance imaging during individually calibrated painful pressure stimuli.ResultsFibromyalgia subjects were more pain sensitive but no significant differences in pain sensitivity or pain ratings were observed between OPRM1 genotypes. A significant difference was found in cerebral pain processing, with carriers of at least one G-allele showing increased activation in posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) extending to precentral gyrus, compared to AA homozygotes. This effect was significant in FM subjects but not in healthy participants, however, between-group comparisons did not yield significant results. Seed-based functional connectivity analysis was performed with the seed based on differences in PCC/precentral gyrus activation between OPRM1 genotypes during evoked pain across groups. G-allele carriers displayed decreased functional connectivity between PCC/precentral gyrus and prefrontal cortex.ConclusionsG-allele carriers showed increased activation in PCC/precentral gyrus but decreased functional connectivity with the frontal control network during pressure stimulation, suggesting different pain modulatory processes between OPRM1 genotypes involving altered fronto-parietal network involvement. Furthermore, our results suggest that the overall effects of the OPRM1 G-allele may be driven by FM subjects.SignificanceWe show that the functional polymorphism of the μ-opioid receptor gene OPRM1 was associated with alterations in the fronto-parietal network as well as with increased activation of posterior cingulum during evoked pain in FM. Thus, the OPRM1 polymorphism affects cerebral processing in brain regions implicated in salience, attention, and the default mode network. This finding is discussed in the light of pain and the opioid system, providing further evidence for a functional role of OPRM1 in cerebral pain processing.

Project description:BackgroundVariation in response to the hedonic and adverse effects of a substance is in part an inherited factor that may influence its use, abuse and dependence. The mu opioid receptor is the primary site of action for opiates and individuals with polymorphisms in this receptor appear to have variation in the CNS effects of opiates. Several studies have suggested that this receptor may also mediate some of the effects of non-opioid drugs, such as alcohol. The purpose of this study was to investigate associations between 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms in the mu opioid receptor gene (OPRM1) with self-reported responses to alcohol, an endophenotype associated with the development of alcohol dependence, in American Indians living on eight contiguous reservations.MethodsEach participant gave a blood sample and completed a structured diagnostic interview. Additionally, response to alcohol was indexed using the expectation version of the subjective high assessment scale (SHAS-E). SNPs were genotyped in 251 participants and data analyses were conducted using SOLAR.ResultsThe estimated heritability (h2) for the SHAS-E phenotypes ranged from 0.01 to 0.28. Endorsing the expectation of a more intense response on one or more of the following items from the SHAS-E: buzzed, clumsy, dizzy, drunk, effects, high, nausea, sleepy, talkative, terrible, and/or uncomfortable after imbibing 2-3 drinks was significantly associated with having at least one minor allele for at least one of 7 SNPs (p < 0.01) in the OPRM1 receptor gene.ConclusionThese studies provide data to suggest that the minor allele, for most of the polymorphisms in the OPRM1 receptor gene investigated, was found to be associated with a more intense, and/or more adverse, response to alcohol, traits that are significantly correlated with lowered quantity of alcohol consumption and less susceptibility to dependence in this Indian population. These data further suggest that making conclusions on the role of the mu opiod receptor gene in the development of alcohol dependence may be limited if only one polymorphism in the gene is evaluated in isolation.

Project description:BackgroundScientists have speculated genetic variants may contribute to an individual's unique pain experience. Although research exists regarding the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms and sickle cell disease-related pain, this literature has not been synthesized to help inform future precision health research for sickle cell disease-related pain. Our primary aim of this systematic review was to synthesize the current state of scientific literature regarding single nucleotide polymorphisms and their association with sickle cell disease-related pain.MethodsUsing the Prisma guidelines, we conducted our search between December 2021-April 2022. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Embase databases (1998-2022) and selected all peer-reviewed articles that included reports of associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms and sickle cell disease-related pain outcomes.ResultsOur search yielded 215 articles, 80 of which were duplicates, and after two reviewers (GG, JD) independently screened the 135 non-duplicate articles, we retained 22 articles that met the study criteria. The synthesis of internationally generated evidence revealed that this scientific area remains predominantly exploratory in nature, with only three studies reporting sufficient power for genetic association. Sampling varied across studies with a range of children to older adults with SCD. All of the included articles (n = 22) examined acute pain, while only nine of those studies also examined chronic pain.ConclusionCurrently, the evidence implicating genetic variation contributing to acute and chronic sickle cell disease-related pain is characterized by modestly powered candidate-gene studies using rigorous SCD-pain outcomes. Effect sizes and directions vary across studies and are valuable for informing the design of future studies. Further research is needed to replicate these associations and extend findings with hypothesis-driven research to inform precision health research.
