Pro-inflammatory cytokine polymorphisms like Tumor Necrosis Factor- (TNF), has been found associated to severe depressive disorder (MDD). The Pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) G-308A (rs1800629) have been discovered to have an important role in the pathophysiology of depressive disorders and the mechanism of antidepressant treatment. The present study aims to study TNF-α gene polymorphisms in Major depressive disorder using allele specific PCR. The results show that family history are non- significant different between patients and control group (0.6346) and also there was non- significant different in BMI (0.3417), The genotyping data show tow alleles and three genotyping (AG, GG, AA) the statically analysis show non-significant differences between patients and controls groups (0.095, 0.800) for GG, AA and GA respectively with more frequent of GA in patients than control group, the G allele was less frequent in patient than control while A allele was more frequent in patients than control group in significant differences (0.0001). It can be concluded that TNF genotyping didn’t impact in the Major depressive disorder but the allele distribution may have potential role in MDD patients.

Background: Proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), are associated with the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD). Several studies have reported that increased TNF-α might be associated with tryptophan depletion, which eventually could result in MDD. However, other studies revealed that TNF-α increased serotonin firing in raphe. Therefore, whether TNF-α increases or decreases serotonin activity remains unclear. Here, we aimed to determine the relationship between serum TNF-α level and central serotonergic activity using the loudness dependence of auditory evoked potentials (LDAEP) and standardized low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA), as well as to evaluate the effects of antidepressants on TNF-α levels. Methods: LDAEP, serum TNF-α level, and depression severity were measured in 64 MDD outpatients pre and post 3 months of treatment. Results: Pretreatment TNF-α levels were negatively correlated with the pretreatment N1 sLORETA-LDAEP, P2 sLORETA-LDAEP, and N1/P2 sLORETA-LDAEP (p < 0.05). In multiple regression analysis for N1/P2 sLORETA-LDAEP, lower N1/P2 sLORETA-LDAEP was significantly related to higher TNF-α (CE = −0.047, p = 0.017) when all subjects were dichotomized based on the median TNF-α level (7.16 pg/mL) into pretreatment low- and high-TNF-α groups. In addition, the pretreatment Beck Depression Inventory, P2 LDAEP, and N1/P2 sLORETA-LDAEP were greater in the high-TNF-α groups than in the low-TNF-α groups (p < 0.05). Moreover, the posttreatment TNF-α level was significantly decreased compared to the pretreatment TNF-α level (z = −2.581, p = 0.01). However, the posttreatment TNF-α levels were not associated with posttreatment LDAEP. Conclusions: Higher TNF-α level is associated with decreased LDAEP, which could indicate compensatory elevation of central serotonin activity in outpatients with MDD, although this effect disappeared and TNF-α level was reduced after three months of antidepressant treatment.
