[Abstract] Objective: This study aimed to explore the differences and significance of whole brain functional connectivity (FC) seeding as insula between heroin addicts undergoing methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) with different DRD2TaqIA genetic variants by a functional connectivity method.Materials and Methods: Twenty-seven male MMT carrier A1 allele (A+ group) and 20 age, education, smoking matched homozygous A2 allele males MMT (A- group) participated in this study. Rest-state functional MRI was performed with 3.0 T scanner. The abstinent time was defined by the monthly structure interview and urine test in the subsequent 12 nomths after the MRI scan. The MRI data analysis was conducted by the toolbox DPABI. The whole brain FC seeding as bilateral insula was obtained in group A+ and group A-. Next, intergroup differences of the insula FC was calculated with two-sample t test. Moreover, the partial correlation between abstinent time after the MRI scan and the intensity of FC which is intergroup significantly different was analyzed.Results: Compared with A- group, A+ group showed reduced FC between the right insula and the bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and the bilateral caudate nucleus (cluster size>5, FDR correction, P<0.001). In addition, FC intensity between the right insula and the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex had a positive correlation with abstinent time (r=0.378, P=0.011. Bonferroni correction P<0.05).Conclusions: There were significant differences in insular functional connectivity feature between heroin addicts undergoing methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) with different DRD2TaqIA genetic variants. It might one of the important pathway that the insula regulation of inhibitory control function and reward neural circuit, through which DRD2TaqIA genotype influence on relapse behavior in MMT.
