Immunity, Inflammation, and Bipolar Disorder: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Implications

Abstract: Bipolar disorder is now known to be associated not only with highly prevalent co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders but also with medical comorbidities, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, obesity and thyroid dysfunction. Inflammatory disturbances repeatedly observed in bipolar disorder, can explain some of the comorbidity between bipolar disorder and medical disorder. This revised perspective of bipolar disorders should promote the development of therapeutic tools. Immuno-inflam… Show more

“…On the other hand, adiposity and diabetes are associated with an increased risk for depressive mood changes, possibly associated with chronic low-grade inflammation [24,25]. In this context, sICAM-1 elevation might be a common pathogenetic factor for mood disorders and mood changes during metabolic disorders, diabetes, chronic low-grade inflammation as well as vascular complications, and would also support the hypothesis of a subclinical increased permeability of the BBB [26]. Future trials may also assess the relationships adhesion molecule expression with steroid regulation.…”

“…Our early works also found that higher levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) (5,10) and interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) (5,11) are accompanied with bipolar mania. Furthermore, the abnormalities of total immunoglobulins levels in body fluid are observed in BD patients (12,13).…”

“…These include alterations in the metabolism and action of cholinergic [14], glutaminergic [15], GABAergic [16], and opioid [17] neurotransmission as well as changes in the activity of proteins located at the post-synaptic densities [18]. In addition, strong evidence showed that mitochondrial function [19,20] and oxidative stress [21] and inflammation [22,23] participate in the etiology of BD: Reduced antioxidant capacity was described in bipolar patients, manifested by decreased levels of glutathione in post-mortem prefrontal cortex samples [24]. Downregulation of a number of antioxidant genes, including Superoxide dismutase (SOD1), was found in BD [25].…”
