Distinguishing the cerebrospinal fluid cytokine profile in neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus from other autoimmune neurological diseases

Abstract: Neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) is a serious complication in SLE. Although the mechanism of NPSLE remains unclear, cytokines and chemokines are considered to be involved in their pathogenesis. Here we used Bio-Plex Pro assays to examine 27 types of cytokines and chemokines in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 32 NPSLE patients. We used the CSF of 20 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and 22 patients with neuromyelitis optica (NMO) as a disease control group. Fourteen of 27 cytokines/che… Show more

“…8 Interestingly, SLE patients who developed neuropsychiatric symptoms also had higher levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in their CSF. 4,5 Moreover, CD4 + or CD8 + T cells which lose the CD28 molecule display potent effector functions with oversecretion of inflammatory cytokines IFN-γ and TNF-α. 20 Both MMSE and MOCA examinations showed significantly lower Depression was also a cofounder that influenced cognitive dysfunction in SLE.…”

“…Signs for the immunological consequences in the development of NPSLE syndromes are evidence of high titers of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines that have been identified in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of NPSLE patients, including interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-10, interferon (IFN)α, IFNγ, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α, B-cell activating factor, and APRIL. 4,5 Some cytokines such as IL-10, TNF-α, IL-6, IFN-γ, IL-4, and IL-13 are also used as predictors that can expect the longer disease duration and poor outcome in NPSLE. 5 Although these findings show the importance of immune activation in NPSLE, whether lupus brain fog is a central nervous system manifestation of the disease that is mediated by an immune response mechanism deserves further research.…”

“…Neuropsychiatric SLE (NPSLE) is a serious complication of SLE ( 84 ). Although the mechanism of NPSLE remains unclear, cytokines and chemokines, such as IFN-β and IFN-γ, are considered to be involved in the pathogenesis of NPSLE through the JAK/STAT signaling pathway ( 85 88 ). IFN-β-treated astrocyte in vitro was able to generate a large amount of chemokines, such as CCL2, CCL5, and CXCL10, and these chemokines can be negatively regulated by SOCS1 ( 89 ).…”

“…In lupus, FGF2 is positively correlated with disease activity [52]. A recent study compared the protein levels of various growth factors in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of lupus patients relative to subjects with disrupted BBB, such as MS. FGF2 was one of six upregulated genes that predicted lupus using a weighted algorithm [53]. …”
