PG - 1-10 LID - S0924-9338(16)30063-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.eurpsy.2016.05.010 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: There is a growing interest in low-grade inflammatory and metabolic alterations in patients with chronic schizophrenia (SCH). METHODS: Inflammatory (tumor-necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-alpha], interferon-gamma [IFN-gamma], interleukins [IL-1alpha, IL-1beta, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10], monocyte chemo-attractant protein-1 [MCP-1]) and growth factors (vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF], epidermal growth factor [EGF]) were measured in blood serum samples of 105 SCH patients and 148 control subjects (CS). Simultaneously the clinical biomarkers (C-reactive protein [CRP], triglycerides [TG], low-density lipoprotein [LDL-c] and high-density lipoprotein [HDL-c] cholesterol, glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c]) were measured, and body mass index (BMI) was calculated for patients. RESULTS: Several cyto-/chemokines (IFN-gamma, MCP-1, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10) were significantly (P<0.0000001) elevated in SCH patients compared to CS. Odds ratios, obtained from logistic regression analyses, were significantly elevated for IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, INF-gamma, and decreased for TNF-alpha in SCH group. Among the patients, higher IL-2, IL-6, INF-gamma and lower MCP-1 levels as well as male gender were together significant (P<0.000001) predictors of higher HbA1c levels, and TG/HDL-c parameter was associated with ratios of INF-gamma/IL-10 (P=0.004), and INF-gamma/IL-4 (P=0.049), HbA1c (P=0.005), INF-gamma (P=0.009), as well as LDL-c (P=0.02) levels. CONCLUSIONS: IL-2, IL-6, IL-10 and IFN-gamma were the most significant SCH-related markers among the measured cytokines in our patient group. Furthermore, significant associations between pro-/anti-inflammatory imbalance and HbA1c as well as cardio-metabolic risk marker (TG/HDL-c) were observed, indicating higher risks of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases among SCH patients.
