OBJECTIVE Evidence indicates that the pathophysiology of adult psychosis involves immune dysregulation, but its associations with stress are often not considered. The inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-18, which is elevated in adult schizophrenia, is suggested to be sensitive to stress. We compared the associations of IL-18 with cortisol and clinical variables in adolescents with early-onset psychosis (EOP) aged 12-18 years and age-matched healthy controls (HC). METHOD We measured serum IL-18, IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP), IL-18 receptor accessory protein (IL-18RAP), IL-18 receptor 1 (IL-18R1) and cortisol, and calculated the IL-18/IL-18BP ratio in patients (n = 31) and HC (n = 60). Psychotic symptoms were assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale and depressive symptoms by the Mood and Feelings Questionnaire-Child version (MFQ-C). Bivariate correlation analysis was used to explore relationships between IL-18/IL-18BP ratio and cortisol, depression and other clinical characteristics. Hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis was used to assess their individual contributions to the variance of the IL-18/IL-18BP ratio. RESULTS Patients had significantly higher IL-18 levels and IL-18/IL-18BP ratios than HC, but similar IL-18BP, IL-18RAP and IL-18R1. Both cortisol (R2 change = 0.05) and the MFQ-C score (R2 change = 0.09) contributed significantly to the variance in IL-18/IL-18BP ratios after controlling for confounders. CONCLUSION We found increased IL-18 system activity in adolescents with EOP. Cortisol and depressive symptoms each contributed to the variance in the IL-18/IL-18BP ratio. Our findings support activation of inflammatory pathways in adolescent psychosis and suggest interactions between stress, inflammation and depressive symptoms in EOP.

患有早发性精神病的青少年的白细胞介素 18 活性增加与皮质醇和抑郁症状有关

目的 证据表明,成人精神病的病理生理学涉及免疫失调,但通常不考虑其与压力的关联。炎症细胞因子白细胞介素 (IL)-18 在成人精神分裂症中升高,被认为对压力敏感。我们比较了 12-18 岁早发性精神病 (EOP) 青少年和年龄匹配的健康对照 (HC) 中 IL-18 与皮质醇和临床变量的关联。方法测定血清IL-18、IL-18结合蛋白(IL-18BP)、IL-18受体辅助蛋白(IL-18RAP)、IL-18受体1(IL-18R1)和皮质醇,计算IL-18患者 (n = 31) 和 HC (n = 60) 中的 /IL-18BP 比率。使用阳性和阴性综合征量表评估精神病症状,并通过情绪和情绪问卷 - 儿童版 (MFQ-C) 评估抑郁症状。采用双变量相关分析探讨IL-18/IL-18BP比值与皮质醇、抑郁等临床特征的关系。使用分层多元线性回归分析来评估他们对 IL-18/IL-18BP 比率方差的个人贡献。结果 患者的 IL-18 水平和 IL-18/IL-18BP 比值显着高于 HC,但 IL-18BP、IL-18RAP 和 IL-18R1 相似。控制混杂因素后,皮质醇(R2 变化 = 0.05)和 MFQ-C 评分(R2 变化 = 0.09)对 IL-18/IL-18BP 比率的变化有显着影响。结论 我们发现 EOP 青少年的 IL-18 系统活性增加。皮质醇和抑郁症状各自导致 IL-18/IL-18BP 比率的变化。我们的研究结果支持青少年精神病中炎症通路的激活,并表明 EOP 中压力、炎症和抑郁症状之间的相互作用。
