Depressed and anxious mood and T-cell cytokine expressing populations in ovarian cancer patients
Open accessAbstract
The adaptive immune response of ovarian cancer patients has been linked to survival, and is known to be impaired in the tumor microenvironment. Little is known about relationships between biobehavioral factors such as depressed mood and anxiety and the adaptive immune response in ovarian cancer. Thirty-seven patients with epithelial ovarian cancer and 14 patients with benign ovarian neoplasms completed psychosocial questionnaires pre-surgery. Lymphocytes from peripheral blood, tumor, and ascites (fluid around the tumor), were obtained on the day of surgery. Expression of the Type-1 cytokine interferon-gamma (IFN gamma), and the Type-2 cytokine interleukin-4 (IL-4) by T-helper (CD4(+)) and T-cytotoxic (CD8(+)) cells was measured under autologous tumor-stimulated, polyclonally-stimulated, or unstimulated conditions. Links with mood were examined. Among cancer patients, marked elevations in unstimulated and tumor-stimulated Type-2 responses were seen, particularly in ascites and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (P values<0.01). With polyclonal stimulation, lymphocytes from all compartments expressed elevated Type-1 cytokines (P values<0.014). Depressed and anxious mood were both associated with significantly lower ratios of polyclonally-stimulated CD4(+) cells producing IFN gamma (TH(1) cells) vs. IL-4 (TH(2) cells) in all compartments (depressed mood: P=0.012; anxiety: P=0.038) and depressed mood was also related to lower ratios of polyclonally-stimulated CD8(+) cells producing IFN gamma (TC(1)) vs. IL-4 (TC(2)) (P=0.035). Although effects of polyclonal stimulation should be generalized with caution to the in vivo immune response, findings suggest that depressed and anxious mood are associated with greater impairment of adaptive immunity in peripheral blood and in the tumor microenvironment among ovarian cancer patients.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
