Abstract

The metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of mood and anxiety disorders and is a potential treatment target in major depressive disorder (MDD). This study compared brain mGluR5 binding in elderly patients suffering from MDD with that in elderly healthy volunteers using positron emission tomography (PET) and [(11)C]ABP688. Twenty elderly (mean age: 63.0 +/- 6.3) subjects with MDD and twenty-two healthy volunteers in the same age range (mean age: 66.4 +/- 7.3) were examined with PET after a single bolus injection of [(11)C]ABP688, with many receiving arterial sampling. PET images were analyzed on a region of interest and a voxel level to compare mGluR5 binding in the brain between the two groups. Differences in [(11)C]ABP688 binding between patients with early- and late-onset depression were also assessed. In contrast to a previously published report in a younger cohort, no significant difference in [(11)C]ABP688 binding was observed between elderly subjects with MDD and healthy volunteers. [(11)C]ABP688 binding was also similar between subgroups with early- or late-onset depression. We believe this is the first study to examine mGluR5 expression in depression in the elderly. Although future work is required, results suggest potential differences in the pathophysiology of elderly depression versus depression earlier in life.
