Deveci, Incebiyik, Selek, Camuzcuoglu, Hilali, Camuzcuoglu, Erdal, and Vural: Is catechol-o-methyltransferase gene polymorphism a risk factor in the development of premenstrual syndrome?

Abstract

Objective

The objective of this study was to investigate whether there was a correlation between catechol-o-methyltransferase (COMT) gene polymorphism, which is believed to play a role in the etiology of psychotic disorders, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

Methods

Fifty-three women with regular menstrual cycles, aged between 18 and 46 years and diagnosed with PMS according to the American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology criteria were included in this study as the study group, and 53 healthy women having no health problems were selected as the controls. Venous blood was collected from all patients included in the study and kept at -18℃ prior to analysis.

Results

There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of demographic features such as age, body mass index, number of pregnancies, parity, and number of children. No statistically significant difference was observed in terms of COMT gene polymorphism (p=0.61) between women in the PMS and the control groups. However, a significant difference was found between arthralgia, which is an indicator of PMS, and low-enzyme activity COMT gene (Met/Met) polymorphism (p=0.04).

Conclusion

These results suggested that there was no significant relationship between PMS and COMT gene polymorphism. Since we could not find a direct correlation between the COMT gene polymorphism and PMS, further studies including alternative neurotransmitter pathways are needed to find an effective treatment for this disease.

Introduction

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is defined as the psychological and physiological symptoms occurring in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, improving with menstruation and affecting the familial and social relationships of individuals [1,2]. Between 20% and 95% of the women in the reproductive age group are affected by these conditions [1,3,4]. The etiology of PMS is not fully understood. However, it is proposed that gonadal hormones and neurotransmitters in the central nervous system play an important role in the pathophysiology of the disease, because PMS occurs during ovulatory menstrual cycles [3,4].
In women who have a genetic predisposition, cyclic changes in steroid hormones are believed to play a role in the development of the affective symptoms of PMS [3]. The estrogen hormone, which is metabolized via the catechol-o-methyltransferase (COMT) pathway and the central nervous system effects of the COMT enzyme, is itself proposed to be a possible factor in mood regulation [5]. Therefore, polymorphism in the COMT enzyme, through steroid hormone metabolism, may be related to the mood symptoms of PMS.
Serotonin has been most implicated neurotransmitter in the etiology of PMS. Serotonin transporter-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) polymorphism was compared between patients with premenstrual dysphoric disorder whose psychological factors are predominant in the PMS spectrum and healthy control subjects, but no significant correlation was found [6]. Given the challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of PMS, it is obvious that the identification of biological markers associated with a tendency towards PMS would contribute both to the understanding of the psychobiological basis of the PMS and to the establishment of early treatment plans.
COMT is the enzyme involved in the catabolism of dopamine and the other catecholaminergic neurotransmitters in the synaptic area [7,8]. There are many articles showing the relationship between polymorphism occurring in the gene that codes the COMT enzyme and psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia [7], bipolar disorder [9,10] and Parkinson's disease [11]. Although the catabolism of serotonin is not associated with COMT, polymorphism that may occur in this gene has been demonstrated to adversely affect the therapeutic success of the selective 5-HT reuptake inhibitors, which are used for the treatment of PMS [12]. Additionally, it has been shown that serotonin inhibits the COMT enzyme in vitro. For this reason, more studies are needed to understand the modulating effect of a serotonergic system on COMT and vice versa [13].
In this study, we aimed to investigate whether there was a correlation between COMT gene polymorphism, which plays a role in the etiology of many psychiatric disorders [14], and PMS, which produces symptoms such as depression and anxiety.

Methods

The present study was conducted at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Department of Psychiatry, and the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics between January 2011 and December 2011. The design of the study accorded to the guidelines of the Declaration of Helsinki (Second revision, 2008), and was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee. All women participating in the study were comprehensively informed prior to the procedure, and their written consent was obtained.
One hundred eighty-two women were evaluated for the study in a one-year period. Fifty-four women who had irregular menses, had a chronic disease, were receiving hormonal contraception methods, were pregnant, and/or were going to undergo gynecological surgery were excluded from the study. In addition, 22 women who were unwilling to come for the follow-up examinations during the study were not included in this study. A total of 106 women, including 53 PMS patients aged between 18 and 46 years with regular menstrual cycles (between 21 days and 35 days), and 53 healthy controls were recruited (Figure 1). The PMS diagnosis was established according to the American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology 2000 diagnostic criteria. In brief, PMS was diagnosed as follows: a patient was required to report at least one of the affective symptoms (depression, angry outbursts, irritability, anxiety, confusion, or social withdrawal) and to report at least one of the somatic symptoms (breast tenderness, abdominal bloating, headache, or swelling of extremities) during the five days before menses in each of the three prior menstrual cycles. The symptoms had to be relieved within four days of menstruation onset without recurrence until at least the 13th cycle day [3]. The PMS diagnoses were confirmed by prospective daily symptom ratings for 2-3 menstrual cycles during the screening period [15]. The control group was selected among women in the same age group who were admitted to our clinic for routine gynecological examination and volunteered to participate in the study.
All of the women included in the study underwent general physical examinations, pelvic examinations, and smear testing at admission. Urine pregnancy tests and thyroid function tests were studied in order to rule out any symptoms that might cause complaints similar to PMS. Furthermore, the women involved in the study were reviewed by the psychiatry department in order to exclude psychiatric disorders that might be confused with PMS.

1. Exclusion criteria

Women suffering from chronic illnesses such as thyroid and metabolic disease, psychiatric disorders like psychosis and bipolar disorder, and irregular menstrual cycles; those who were pregnant or were suspected to be pregnant; breastfeeding women; those using hormonal contraceptives, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or anti-depressive drugs; and those who had undergone hysterectomies or ovarian surgery were excluded from the study.

2. Blood collection

All blood samples were obtained in the morning when the patients were fasting from the antecubital vein without inhibiting the venous blood flow, using plastic syringes. The total sample volume was 10 mL. Of the samples, 5 mL was aliquoted for laboratory tests. The remaining 5 mL of blood was put into tubes containing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, sent immediately to the biochemical laboratory, and kept at -18℃ until the analysis.

3. Molecular genetic analysis of COMT

DNA was extracted from the blood samples collected from the women in the PMS and control groups and put into tubes containing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid by using the salt precipitation method. Primers and TaqMan probes for COMT gene Val158Met (c.1947 G>A, rs4680) were created from the Z26491 sequence by using the Primer Express 3.0 (Applied Biosystems) program. Genotypes of the COMT gene Val158Met (c.1947 G>A, rs4680) polymorphism were defined through a real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) by using a pair of 900-nmol primers (COMT-F 5'-CATCACCCAGCGGATGGT-3' and COMT-R 5'-TCAGGCATGCACACCTTGTC-3') and a pair of 200-nmol TaqMan props (COMT-PrA 5'-VIC-ATTTCGCTGGCATGAA-NFQ-MGB-3' and COMT-PrG 5'-FAM-ATTTCGCTGGCGTGAA-NFQ-MGB-3') synthesized by Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA.
Based on the previous literature, COMT genes were divided into three subgroups as high-activity homozygous (Val/Val), heterozygous (Val/Met), and low-activity homozygous (Met/Met) [11].

4. Statistical analysis

SPSS ver. 15.0 software for Windows (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) was used for the statistical analysis. The data obtained from the patient and control groups were primarily determined by employing the Hardy-Weinberg principle of concordance. For the analysis of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the actual genotype frequency was compared with the Hardy-Weinberg-based expected genotype frequency. All data were represented as mean±standard deviation. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to check the data distribution. In comparisons between the patient and the control groups, an independent samples t-test was utilized. In the comparison of genotypic subgroups, a Pearson's chi-squared test was used. A genotypic comparison of sub-groups in terms of the mean symptoms in the PMS group was performed with the Kruskal-Wallis test. In the PMS group, the relationship between genotypes with binary variables was evaluated by the phi correlation coefficient. A "p" value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results

Demographic characteristics of the study and control groups are summarized in Table 1. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of demographic features such as age, height, weight, body mass index, number of pregnancies, and parity. The genotype frequency conformed to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in both groups (χ2=0.587, p=0.38).
While the number of Val/Met polymorphisms in the premenstrual group was higher than that in the control group, Met/Met and Val/Val polymorphisms were higher in the control group. However, no statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of high-activity homozygous (Val/Val), heterozygous (Val/Met), and low-activity homozygous (Met/Met) COMT gene polymorphisms (p=0.61) (Figure 2).
No significant difference was observed between the groups in terms of the responses given to questions about fatigue, insomnia, abdominal pain and bloating, nausea, headache, pelvic pain, tension, loneliness, anger, depression, and COMT gene polymorphism (p>0.05); however, a significant difference between arthralgia and low activity of the COMT gene (11 of 13 patients, 84.6%, p=0.04) was observed.

Discussion

To the best of our knowledge, although 5-HTTLPR and estrogen receptor-alpha intron 4 polymorphism (ESR1) genes were previously studied in patients with premenstrual dysphoric disorder [5,6], this study is the first to investigate the relationship between PMS and the COMT enzyme polymorphism, which is involved in the catabolism of the neurotransmitters. In this study, in which we investigated whether there was a correlation between COMT gene polymorphism-which has been believed to play a role in the development of many psychiatric disorders-and PMS, we found that a significant relationship existed only between arthralgia and low activity of the COMT gene.
PMS, which is the most commonly observed clinical complaint in women in the reproductive age group [15], is a major health problem that decreases health-related quality of life, reduces business productivity, and increases health care costs [16,17]. Furthermore, premenstrual periods in which psychotic episodes, physical complaints, and even suicide attempts are more frequent represent higher rates of hospitalization and increased need for emergency treatment [4].
Although this disease, which results from complaints relating to menstruation, has long been known, its pathophysiology is not fully understood. Contradictory results were obtained in studies conducted to consider whether vitamin deficiencies involved in the metabolism of neurotransmitters were related to development of the disease [18,19,20,21]. Studies conducted to verify whether minerals such as iron, potassium, zinc, and magnesium play a role in moderating the development of PMS suggest that the intake of these minerals might be beneficial in prevention of the disease [22]. The most widely accepted current theory holds that gonadal steroid hormones and cyclic changes in the level of central neurotransmitters affect mood and behavior during the luteal phase and trigger the disease in women who are predisposed to PMS [3]. Despite the evidence demonstrating the role of β-endorphin and gamma-aminobutyric acid in the etiology of PMS, serotonin is the most accused neurotransmitter [23,24]. However, a clear relationship between serotonin and PMS has not yet been proven [6].
A clinical condition that is a more severe form of PMS with prominent psychological symptoms is defined as "premenstrual dysphoric disorder" [25]. Numerous studies have demonstrated the relationship between premenstrual dysphoric disorder and psychiatric disorders such as major depression [26], mood disorders [27], and postpartum depression [28]. We speculated that a disorder related to dopamine function might contribute to the development of PMS since depression is a disorder related to dopaminergic function and is one of the affective signs of PMS.
COMT is one of the most important enzymes involved in dopamine catabolism in the prefrontal cortical region. The enzyme is coded by the COMT gene located in the 22nd chromosome. This gene presents a genetic polymorphism (Val158Met, G1221A) with two common allelic variants (Val158Met polymorphism; (rs4680) in which a single G/A base-pair substitution leads to a valine-to-methionine substitution at codon 158) that influence the efficiency with which dopamine is broken down in the prefrontal cortex [7,29]. Val allele is associated with higher enzyme activity than Met allele, and results in a lower level of dopamine in the prefrontal cortex [9]. There are several studies in the literature that show that a low level of dopamine is associated with diseases such as schizophrenia [7], bipolar disorder [9], Parkinson's disease [11], depression [30], and psychotic disease [10]. In contrast, there are also studies in the literature demonstrating that there is no relationship between COMT gene polymorphism and psychiatric disorders such as Parkinson's disease [31] and schizophrenia [32,33]. In the present study, we investigated whether PMS, which causes psychological symptoms such as depression, anxiety, angry outbursts, and confusion, was correlated with COMT gene polymorphism; we could not find a statistically significant difference between the healthy controls and the PMS patients (p=0.61) (Figure 2). There is no other study in the literature demonstrating a relationship between PMS and COMT gene polymorphism. Therefore, further studies are needed to compare our results.
PMS is a clinical condition with affective and somatic symptoms. The most common somatic symptoms include abdominal bloating and fatigue [34], along with arthralgia [35]. According to the correlation coefficient test that we conducted on COMT gene polymorphism and PMS, a significant correlation was only found to exist between arthralgia and the low-activity of the COMT gene polymorphism (p=0.04).
This study has several limitations. First, there are difficulties in the establishment of a PMS diagnosis due to the subjective interpretation of the symptoms. However, the use of the American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology criteria that are commonly used to establish the diagnosis of PMS is one of the strengths of our study. A second limitation was that gene polymorphism was studied only on the community living in our region, because the study was locally conducted. Different results would be expected if the study were conducted with populations of different ethnic origins. Another limitation is the low total number of cases in the study group.
In conclusion, our findings from this study demonstrated that there is no correlation between COMT gene polymorphism and PMS. On the other hand, new study designs that will help us understand the etiology and pathophysiology of the syndrome and help to develop or identify effective treatment methods to solve the problem in the future are suggested.
