Brain-derived neurotrophic factor and inflammatory markers in patients with early- vs. late-stage bipolar disorder
Open accessAbstract
Bipolar I disorder (BD) has a poorer longer-term outcome than previously thought, with persistent cognitive impairment and functional decline. The neurobiological underpinnings that might underlie these changes remain unknown. Changes in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels and cytokines are potential candidates. The aim of this study was to examine both cytokine and BDNF levels and their relationship in BD patients in the early and late stages of the disorder. We measured serum BDNF, TNF-alpha, IL-6 and IL-10 levels in a total of 60 patients with BD I and we compared those in early stages of illness with those in late stages of illness and also compared both groups with 60 matched healthy controls. BDNF was decreased only in those patients in the late stage of bipolar disorder. Moreover, BDNF levels were negatively correlated with length of illness. In contrast, all interleukins and TNF-alpha were increased in the early stages of BD, compared to controls. While TNF-alpha and IL-6 continued to be significantly higher than controls at late stages of BD, IL-10 did not. When levels were compared between patients at early and late stages of illness, there was a significant decrease in BDNF and IL-6 in the later stage of BD compared to the early stage. Inversely, TNF-alpha showed a significant increase at the later stage. Failure of inflammatory defences in the late stage of the disorder may account for reduction in BDNF and continued elevations in cytokines; thus these may have the potential to serve as markers of illness progression in BD.

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.
