| Abstract | Background: Brain serotonin 4 receptor (5-HTR) levels are lower in untreated patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and are linked to verbal memory. Here, we investigated the relationship between 5-HTR levels, clinical outcomes, and cognitive function in patients with MDD who initiated selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor drug treatment. Methods: Ninety patients with moderate to severe depression underwent molecular brain imaging to measure 5-HTR binding prior to antidepressant treatment with escitalopram. Pretreatment 5-HTR binding was assessed for its ability to predict treatment outcome at weeks 4, 8, or 12. In 40 patients who were rescanned 8 weeks posttreatment, change in cerebral 5-HTR binding was correlated with change in verbal memory and with change in depressive symptoms, as evaluated by the 6-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. Results: After 8 weeks of serotonergic intervention, neostriatal 5-HTR binding was reduced by 9%. Global change in 5-HTR binding from baseline was associated with verbal memory outcomes, but not with overall clinical depressive symptom outcomes. Pretreatment 5-HTR binding did not predict clinical recovery status at week 8 and was not associated with change in the 6-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale scores. Conclusions: In patients with moderate to severe MDD, treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors downregulated neostriatal 5-HTR levels, which is consistent with the notion that the drugs increase cerebral extracellular serotonin. The less global brain 5-HTR levels were downregulated after selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, the more verbal memory improved, highlighting the potential importance of 5-HTR as a treatment target in MDD. The findings offer insights into mechanisms that underlie antidepressant effects and point to new directions for precision medicine treatments for MDD. |
