“…In schizophrenic patients, risperidone (8 weeks, 2-6 mg/day) modifies the expression of toll-like receptors (TLR), while monocytes CD14 + , CD3 + CD4 + Foxp3 + T, and CD3 + CD4 + CD25 + T cells increased TLR2 expression, and CD14 + monocytes decreased TLR4 expression (185). Effects on gene expression have been reported; in blood cells of firstepisode psychosis patients, risperidone (unspecified doses, 20 days) was associated to the up-regulation of 11 immune system genes, including cytokines and cytokine receptors (SPP1, IL1R1, IL1R2), pattern recognition molecules (TLR1, TLR2, TLR6, dectin-1/CLEC7a), molecules involved in apoptosis (FAS), and BDKRB1, IGF1R, and CR1 (186).…”
