Outline of Final Research Achievements |
1)In our epidemiological survey, dopamine supersensitivity psychosis is observed with higher incident ratio in treatment-resistant patients than in general patients. 2) Getetic association study to examine the possible effects of GRK6 and ARRB2 which are involved in dopamine D2 receptor metabolism, revealed no significant distributioin in a total of 8 single nucleotide polymorphism of both molecules between patients with and without dopamine supersensitivity psychosis. 3) In the animal model of dopamine supersensitivity psychosis, the rat group with haloperidol administration showed lower ARRB2 in the striatum compared to the control group (saline administration). These results suggested that dopamine supersensitivity state is possibly involved in refractoriness in schizophrenia, regardless of continous pharamacotherapy.
